I graduated from 2 now-defunct schools. I give them copies of official documentation if requested, and let them know the schools are closed. All companies I've worked for have either staff or contractors assigned to do background checks, and they have a process. I've never gotten any feedback on any inability to confirm my education.

Thank you for posting your experience. That's very reassuring.
If it is an accredited trade or technical school, it does not count as a college degree. People who graduate from schools like ITT find that out the hard way.
ITT is a NA school which doesn't have the utility of a RA school. A NA degree is a degree and does count as a legit degree per the Department of Edu. The issue is most folks don't really understand accreditation. Another is NA credits aren't usually accepted by RA schools and some companies don't accept it. RA credits are universally accepted. In my opinion its RA school or bust and NA schools suck but for trade type programs they have a place.
I graduated from an engineering school in 1985. It closed down in 1995. Many records were lost but they do have some, just not mine.
I never had any problem until 15 years ago or so. It is difficult to get passed the HR desk these days. When I try to be up front and tell them that the school closed I never hear back from them and when I wait until the interview they take it that I am lying. That and the current H1-B problem have left only working on my own available to me.

I take it that in your situation, you do not have a record of your transcripts?
