William Tyndale College is planning to close and officials are working to make sure students aren't left stranded. Tyndale plans to cease operations Dec. 31 due to a funding shortfall and lack of enrollment. Other institutions such as Regent University in Virginia Beach plan to honor students' scholarships and promise to hold Tyndale's tuition rates. Regent formed an affiliation with Tyndale and contributed more that $2 million to keep Tyndale open. There are 326 students at Tyndale, of whom 229 are part time and most are commuters from Metro Detroit.
