The Career of College of Northern Nevada closed without any notice on Friday.

The college recently filed for bankruptcy, which led to the closure.

When speaking with some of the students, many of them are still in shock. Some are angry, and some are trying to be optimistic about it.

The one thing they all agree on is they wish they got more notice.

"My phone was blowing up left and right saying the school was closed, and it caught me off guard," said Josh Lawler, Welding Instructor for the Career College of Northern Nevada. 

"And sure, enough when I got there, they were posting signs on the doors," said Chris Stradley, Welding Department Chair for the Career College of Northern Nevada.

Last Friday brought a surprise to both students and staff at the college.

The school was closed, with no prior warning.

"I learned from my girlfriend who lives across the country in Baltimore," said Wyatt Lester, student at the Career College of Northern Nevada. "She saw on a Facebook post and gave me a call. That's how I learned that my school had been shut down."

There's still a lot of questions the students want answered.

"I just really want some transparency," said Trenton Hobbs. "This is an institution of education. This isn't ma and pa's, brick and mortar shop, nothing closes overnight."

Hobbs was just weeks away from graduating.

Truckee Meadows Community College is welcoming the students with open arms, but Hobbs says that won't work for him.

"I can't afford TMCC and due to my parent's financial situation, FAFSA won't get me any loans," he said. "So, there's not much I can do. I'm probably going to have to go into warehouse work. I'm trying to move in with my girlfriend and support her as well. I'm at a crossroads here."

It's not just the students who will be impacted by the closure.

"I already filed for unemployment," Lawler said. "I've never filed for it so I'm not sure how that goes. I have a set amount of money and once that's gone, I'm screwed."

Today, many from the school gathered at Flowing Tide to look at all their options and to be there for one another.

"I feel like if any time, this is the time for us to band together to make sure everyone's doing ok," said Daryl Ceragioli, student.

"Financially I know I'm going to sell off some of my stuff so if anyone is struggling, I can help them with that," Lawler said.

For one staff member, he isn't worried about himself, he just wants to help his students out.

"I've mostly been fielding phone calls and texts to my students because they look to me for answers, and I wish I had more answers for them," Stradley said.

The State of Nevada Commission on Postsecondary Education is trying to work with the students.

"They essentially told me that they'll look for places I can continue my program here or they can offer a refund, or I can do nothing," Hobbs said. "That's essentially the options they gave me."
