The Office of Student Assistance and Relief (OSAR) has been notified that the last date of instruction for Point Blank Music School (Point Blank) was October 4, 2026, with an official school closure date of December 31, 2026.
In communications with the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), the school provided the following:

Key Facts from Point Blank:

  • Last day of instruction: October 4, 2026
  • Closure date: December 31, 2026
  • Transfer or Teachout agreements: Point Blank entered into an agreement with Musicians Institute to accept students of Point Blank who did not complete their education – Details below

Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) – If you are a California resident or attended a program where in-person teaching occurred in California, OSAR can assist you in completing a STRF Application.  STRF review considers whether you were able to transfer credits and complete a comparable program, among other factors. 

Other State Programs- If you are not a California student, you may consider finding a similar program for your state that would offer student assistance and services.

Transfer & Educational Options – If the school closed before you finished your program, you still have options for continuing your education.  OSAR can help you understand your rights and provide information about BPPE-approved schools.
We understand that Point Blank is offering a “teach-out” opportunity at Musicians Institute with a planned start date of October 5, 2026. 
At this point, the Bureau has not determined whether the proposed program is comparable.  We will keep you posted if this changes.

  • Please note that under our laws, a "comparable" program must allow you to complete your program for a total cost that is no higher than the total in your original enrollment agreement with Point Blank.
  • If you believe the programs are not comparable based on cost or other factors (e.g. distance, length, online or in-person), please let us know.

If you decide to participate in a teach out, the following conditions will apply in calculating any economic loss in your STRF claim:

  1. If you withdraw from the teach-out institution within the first two weeks of enrollment, your economic loss is calculated as though you never received the teach-out.
  2. If you withdraw from the teach-out institution after the first two weeks of enrollment, your economic loss includes only a pro rata portion of charges for the hours of the education service paid for, but not received from, either institution.
  3. If the teach-out institution provides all of the remaining instruction that the closed institution had represented it would provide, your economic loss shall not include any amount you paid to the closed institution specifically for instruction.
  4. Regardless of participation in a teach-out, you may recover economic losses other than those specifically related to the instruction.

You have the right to refuse to participate in a teach-out/transfer, and to instead obtain a refund from the institution.

Before enrolling in another institution or transferring, it is important that you learn more about the school and consider all options.

Request Your Records – When a school closes, we encourage students to request copies of their educational records including transcripts, enrollment agreements, ledgers, loan documentation and certifications.  To request records, you may contact Point Blank’s custodian of records:
