    We are a regionally accredited provider of online postsecondary
    education services focused on offering graduate and
    undergraduate degree programs in our core disciplines of
    education, business, and healthcare. In addition to our online
    programs, we offer ground programs at our traditional campus in
    Phoenix, Arizona and onsite at the facilities of employers. We
    are committed to providing an academically rigorous educational
    experience with a focus on career-oriented programs that meet
    the objectives of our students. We utilize an integrated,
    innovative approach to marketing, recruiting, and retaining
    students, which has enabled us to increase enrollment from
    approximately 3,000 students at the end of 2003 to approximately
    27,600 students at June&#160;30, 2009, representing a compound
    annual growth rate of approximately 50% over that period and an
    increase of 67% over the approximately 16,500 students we had at
    June&#160;30, 2008. At December&#160;31, 2008, 89.1% of our
    students were enrolled in our online programs, and 52.9% of our
    students were pursuing master&#146;s or doctoral degrees.

    Our three core disciplines of education, business, and
    healthcare represent large markets with attractive employment
    opportunities. According to a March 2009 report from the
    U.S.&#160;Department of Education, National Center for Education
    Statistics, or NCES, these disciplines ranked as three of the
    four most popular fields of postsecondary education, based on
    degrees conferred in the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">2006-07</FONT>
    school year. The U.S.&#160;Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
    Statistics, or BLS, estimated in its
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">2008-09</FONT>
    Career Guide that these fields comprised over 40&#160;million
    jobs in 2006, many of which require postsecondary education
    credentials.

    We primarily focus on recruiting and educating working adults,
    whom we define as students age&#160;25 or older who are pursuing
    a degree while employed. As of June&#160;30, 2009, approximately
    90% of our online students were age&#160;25 or older. We believe
    that working adults are attracted to the convenience and
    flexibility of our online programs because they can study and
    interact with faculty and classmates during times that suit
    their schedules. We also believe that working adults represent
    an attractive student population because they are better able to
    finance their education, more readily recognize the benefits of
    a postsecondary degree, and have higher persistence and
    completion rates than students generally.

    We have experienced significant growth in enrollment, net
    revenue, and operating income over the last several years. Our
    enrollment at December&#160;31, 2008 was approximately 24,600,
    representing an increase of approximately 67% over our
    enrollment at December&#160;31, 2007. Our net revenue and
    operating income for the year ended December&#160;31, 2008 were
    $161.3&#160;million and $12.8&#160;million, respectively,
    representing increases of 62.4% and 194.5%, respectively, over
    the year ended December&#160;31, 2007. Our enrollment at

    increase of approximately 67% over our enrollment at
    June&#160;30, 2008. Our net revenue and operating income for the
    six months ended June&#160;30, 2009 were $118.4&#160;million and
    $22.0&#160;million, respectively, representing increases of
    68.4% and 248.0%, respectively, over the six months ended
    June&#160;30, 2008. We seek to achieve continued growth in a
    manner that reinforces our reputation for providing academically
    rigorous, career-oriented educational programs that advance the
    careers of our students.

    We have been regionally accredited by the Higher Learning
    Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and
    Schools, or the Higher Learning Commission, and its predecessor
    since 1968, and we were reaccredited by the Higher Learning
    Commission in 2007 for the maximum term of ten years. In
    addition, we have specialized accreditations for certain
    programs from the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and
    Programs, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, and
    the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education.
    We believe that our regional accreditation, together with these

    enhance their marketability, and improve the employability of
    our graduates.

    We were founded as Grand Canyon College, a traditional, private,
    non-profit college, in 1949 and moved to our existing campus in
    Phoenix, Arizona in 1951. In February 2004, several of our
    current stockholders acquired Grand Canyon University and
    converted it to a for-profit institution. Since then, we have
    enhanced our senior management team, expanded our online
    platform and programs, and initiated an infrastructure and
    technology improvement plan and a marketing and branding effort
    to further differentiate us in the markets in which we operate
    and support our continued growth. We have also maintained our

    The United States market for postsecondary education represents
    a large and growing opportunity. According to the March 2009
    NCES report, total revenue for all degree-granting postsecondary
    institutions was over $411&#160;billion for the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">2005-06</FONT>
    school year. In addition, according to a March&#160;2009 NCES
    report, approximately 18.2&#160;million students were projected
    to be enrolled in postsecondary institutions in 2008 and the
    number was projected to grow to 20.1&#160;million by 2017. We
    believe that future growth in this market will be driven, in
    part, by the increasing number of job openings in occupations
    that require bachelor&#146;s or master&#146;s degrees, which a
    November 2007 report based on BLS data has projected will grow
    approximately 17% and 19%, respectively, between 2006 and 2016,
    or nearly double the growth rate the BLS projected for
    occupations that do not require postsecondary degrees. Moreover,
    according to U.S.&#160;Census Bureau data, individuals with a
    postsecondary degree are able to obtain a significant
    compensation premium relative to individuals without a degree.

    The market for online postsecondary education has grown more
    rapidly than the overall postsecondary market. A 2008 study by
    Eduventures, LLC, an education consulting and research firm,
    projected that from 2002 to 2008 enrollment in online
    postsecondary programs increased from approximately
    0.4&#160;million to approximately 1.9&#160;million, representing
    a compound annual growth rate of approximately 28.6%. In
    comparison, in March 2009 the NCES projected a compound annual
    growth rate of 1.5% in enrollment in postsecondary programs
    overall during the same period. We believe this growth has been
    driven by a number of factors, including the greater convenience
    and flexibility of online programs as compared to ground-based
    programs and the increased acceptance of online programs among
    academics and employers. According to a 2006 survey by the Sloan
    Consortium, a trade group focused on online education, 79.1% of
    chief academic officers surveyed at institutions with 15,000 or
    more students, most of which offer online programs, and 61.9% of
    all chief academic officers surveyed, believe that online
    learning outcomes are equal or superior to traditional

    We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an
    important supplemental measure of our operating performance. We
    also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our
    operating performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, and our
    loan agreement requires us to comply with covenants that include
    performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.
    All of the adjustments made in our calculation of Adjusted
    EBITDA are adjustments to items that management does not
    consider to be reflective of our core operating performance.
    Management considers our core operating performance to be that
    which can be affected by our managers in any particular period
    through their management of the resources that affect our
    underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that
    period. Management fees and expenses, royalty expenses paid to

    For our fiscal years ended December&#160;31, 2007 and 2008, we
    derived cash receipts equal to approximately 70.2% and 74.4%,
    respectively, of our net revenue from tuition financed under
    federal student financial aid programs authorized under
    Title&#160;IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended,
    referred to in this prospectus as the Title&#160;IV programs,
    which are administered by the U.S.&#160;Department of Education,
    or the Department of Education. To participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs, a school must be authorized by the
    appropriate state education agency or agencies, be accredited by
    an accrediting commission recognized by the Department of
    Education, and be certified as an eligible institution by the
    Department of Education. In addition, our operations and
    programs are regulated by other state education agencies and
    additional accrediting commissions. As a result of these
    requirements, we are subject to extensive regulation by the
    Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education and
    education agencies of other states, the Higher Learning
    Commission, which is our primary accrediting commission,
    specialized accrediting commissions, and the Department of
    Education. These regulatory requirements cover the vast majority
    of our operations, including our educational programs,
    instructional and administrative staff, administrative
    procedures, marketing, recruiting, financial operations, and
    financial condition. These regulatory requirements also affect
    our ability to open additional schools and locations, add new
    educational programs, change existing educational programs, and
    change our corporate or ownership structure. The agencies that
    regulate our operations periodically revise their requirements
    and modify their interpretations of existing requirements.
    Regulatory requirements are not always precise and clear, and
    regulatory agencies may sometimes disagree with the way we have
    interpreted or applied these requirements. Any misinterpretation

    If we fail to comply with any of these regulatory requirements,
    we could suffer financial penalties, limitations on our

    Our most recent recertification, which was issued on a
    provisional basis in May 2005 after an extended review by the
    Department of Education following the change in control that
    occurred in February 2004, contained a number of conditions on
    our continued participation in the Title&#160;IV programs. At
    that time we were required by the Department of Education to
    post a letter of credit, accept restrictions on the growth of
    our program offerings and enrollment, and receive certain
    Title&#160;IV funds under the heightened cash monitoring system
    of payment (pursuant to which an institution is required to
    credit students with Title&#160;IV funds prior to obtaining
    those funds from the Department of Education) rather than by
    advance payment (pursuant to which an institution receives
    Title&#160;IV funds from the Department of Education in advance
    of disbursement to students). In 2006 and 2007, the Department
    of Education eliminated the letter of credit requirement,
    allowed the growth restrictions to expire, eliminated the
    heightened cash monitoring restrictions and returned us to the
    advance payment method. We submitted our application for
    recertification to participate in the Title&#160;IV programs to
    the Department of Education in March 2008 in anticipation of the
    expiration of our provisional certification on June&#160;30,
    2008. The Department of Education did not make a decision on our
    recertification application by June&#160;30, 2008 and therefore
    our provisional certification to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs has been automatically extended on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">month-to-month</FONT>
    basis until the Department of Education makes its decision. See
    &#147;Regulation&#160;&#151; Regulation of Federal Student
    Financial Aid Programs&#160;&#151; Eligibility and certification
    procedures.&#148; There can be no assurance that the Department
    of Education will recertify us while the investigation by the
    Office of Inspector General of the Department of Education is
    being conducted, while the qui tam lawsuit is pending, or at
    all, or that it will not impose restrictions as a condition to
    approving our pending recertification application or with
    respect to any future recertification. See &#147;&#151;&#160;The
    Office of Inspector General of the Department of Education has
    commenced an investigation of Grand Canyon University, which is
    ongoing and which may result in fines, penalties, other
    sanctions, and damage to our reputation in the industry&#148;
    and &#147;&#151;&#160;A qui tam lawsuit has been filed against
    us alleging, among other things, that we have improperly
    compensated certain of our enrollment counselors, and we may
    incur liability, be subject to sanctions, or experience damage
    to our reputation as a result of this lawsuit.&#148; If the
    Department of Education does not renew or withdraws our
    certification to participate in the Title&#160;IV programs at
    any time, our students would no longer be able to receive
    Title&#160;IV program funds. Similarly, the Department of
    Education could renew our certification, but restrict or delay
    our students&#146; receipt of Title&#160;IV funds, limit the
    number of students to whom we could disburse such funds, or
    place other restrictions on us that could be similar to, or more
    or less restrictive than, the restrictions that Department of
    Education imposed on us in connection with our recertification
    in 2005. Any of these outcomes would have a material adverse
    effect on our enrollments and us.

    On September&#160;11, 2008, we were served with a <I>qui tam
    </I>lawsuit that had been filed against us in August 2007, in
    the United States District Court for the District of Arizona by
    a then-current employee on behalf of the federal government. All

    September&#160;5, 2008, when the court unsealed the first
    amended complaint, which had been filed on August&#160;11, 2008.
    A <I>qui tam </I>case is a civil lawsuit brought by one or more
    individuals (a &#147;relator&#148;) on behalf of the federal
    government for an alleged submission to the government of a
    false claim for payment. The relator, often a current or former

    under seal and remains under seal until the government decides
    whether to intervene in the case. If the government intervenes,
    it takes over primary control of the litigation. If the
    government declines to intervene in the case, the relator may
    nonetheless elect to continue to pursue the litigation at his or
    her own expense on behalf of the government. In our case, the
    <I>qui tam </I>lawsuit was initially filed under seal in August
    2007 and was unsealed and served on us following the
    government&#146;s decision not to intervene at that time.

    The <I>qui tam </I>lawsuit alleges, among other things, that we
    violated the False Claims Act by knowingly making false
    statements, and submitting false records or statements, from at
    least 2001 to the present, to get false or fraudulent claims
    paid or approved, and asserts that we have improperly
    compensated certain of our enrollment counselors in violation of
    the Title&#160;IV law governing compensation of such employees,
    and as a result, improperly received Title&#160;IV program
    funds. See &#147;Regulation&#160;&#151; Regulation of Federal
    Student Financial Aid Programs&#160;&#151; Incentive
    compensation rule.&#148; The complaint specifically alleges that
    some of our compensation practices with respect to our
    enrollment personnel, including providing non-cash awards, have
    violated the Title&#160;IV law governing compensation. While we
    believe that our compensation policies and practices at issue in
    the complaint have not been based on success in enrolling
    students in violation of applicable law, the Department of
    Education&#146;s regulations and interpretations of the
    incentive compensation law do not establish clear criteria for
    compliance in all circumstances and some of our practices,
    including in respect of non-cash awards, have not been within
    the scope of any specific &#147;safe harbor&#148; provided in
    the compensation regulations. The complaint seeks treble the
    amount of unspecified damages sustained by the federal
    government in connection with our receipt of Title&#160;IV
    funding, a civil penalty for each violation of the False Claims
    Act, attorneys&#146; fees, costs, and interest. We filed a
    motion to dismiss this case in November 2008, which was denied
    by the court in February 2009, and we have continued to
    vigorously contest this lawsuit. If it were determined that any
    of our compensation practices violated the incentive
    compensation law, we could experience an adverse outcome in the
    <I>qui tam </I>litigation and be subject to substantial monetary
    liabilities, fines, and other sanctions, any of which could have
    a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
    condition and results of operations and could adversely affect
    our stock price. We cannot presently predict the ultimate
    outcome of this <I>qui tam</I> case or any liability or other
    sanctions that may result. It is possible that during the course
    of the litigation or the related Office of Inspector General
    investigation other information may be discovered that would
    adversely affect the outcome of the litigation.

    percentage of our revenue is derived from the Title&#160;IV
    programs, any action by Congress that significantly reduces
    Title&#160;IV program funding or our ability or the ability of
    our students to participate in the Title&#160;IV programs, or
    otherwise requires us to modify our practices with respect to
    Title&#160;IV programs, could increase our costs of compliance,
    reduce the ability of some students to finance their education
    at our institution, require us to seek to arrange for other
    sources of financial aid for our students, and materially
    decrease our student enrollment, each of which could have a
    material adverse effect on us.

    To participate in the Title&#160;IV programs, an institution
    must either satisfy specific quantitative standards of financial
    responsibility prescribed by the Department of Education, or
    post a letter of credit in favor of the Department of Education
    and possibly accept operating restrictions as well. These
    financial responsibility tests are applied to each institution
    on an annual basis based on the institution&#146;s audited
    financial statements, and may be applied at other times, such as
    if the institution undergoes a change in control. These tests
    may also be applied to an institution&#146;s parent company or
    other related entity. The operating restrictions that may be
    placed on an institution that does not meet the quantitative
    standards of financial responsibility include being transferred
    from the advance payment method of receiving Title&#160;IV funds
    to either the reimbursement or the heightened cash monitoring
    system, which could result in a significant delay in the
    institution&#146;s receipt of those funds. For example, when we
    were recertified by the Department of Education to participate
    in the Title&#160;IV programs in May 2005, the Department of
    Education reviewed our fiscal year 2004 audited financial
    statements and advised us that our composite score under the
    Department of Education&#146;s financial responsibility formula
    reflected financial weakness. As a result of this and other
    concerns about our administrative capability, the Department of
    Education required us to post a letter of credit, accept
    restrictions on the growth of our program offerings and
    enrollment, and receive Title&#160;IV funds under the heightened
    cash monitoring system of payment rather than by advance
    payment. In 2006 and 2007, the Department of Education
    eliminated each of these requirements and restrictions. However,
    if, in the future, we fail to satisfy the Department of
    Education&#146;s financial responsibility standards, we could
    experience increased regulatory compliance costs or delays in
    our receipt of Title&#160;IV funds because we could be required
    to post a letter of credit or be subjected to operating
    restrictions, or both. Our failure to secure a letter of credit

    To continue participating in the Title&#160;IV programs, an

    An institution must be accredited by an accrediting commission
    recognized by the Department of Education in order to
    participate in the Title&#160;IV programs. We have institutional
    accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission, which is an
    accrediting commission recognized by the Department of
    Education. To remain accredited, we must continuously meet
    accreditation standards relating to, among other things,
    performance, governance, institutional integrity, educational
    quality, faculty, administrative capability, resources, and
    financial stability. We were reaccredited by the Higher Learning
    Commission in 2007, and the next scheduled comprehensive

    While, during the 2007 reaccreditation process, the Higher

    be addressed by us. See &#147;Regulation&#160;&#151;
    Accreditation.&#148; In February 2009, we filed a monitoring
    report with the Higher Learning Commission addressing our
    progress in resolving these deficiencies and in March 2009, we
    received notification from the Higher Learning Commission that
    our report was accepted and that no further reports are
    required. The Higher Learning Commission is currently reviewing
    our request to operate at nine additional off-campus sites. If
    we fail to satisfy any of the Higher Learning Commission&#146;s

    In connection with our initial public offering in November 2008,
    we submitted a description of the offering to the Department of
    Education, including a description of a proxy and voting
    agreement that has been entered into by certain of our
    stockholders. Pursuant to the agreement, Brent D. Richardson,
    our Executive Chairman, and Christopher C. Richardson, our
    General Counsel and a director (collectively, the
    &#147;Richardson Voting Group&#148;), controlled the voting
    power of approximately 42.9% of our total outstanding voting
    stock after the initial public offering. See &#147;Certain
    Relationships and Related Transactions&#160;&#151; Voting
    Agreement.&#148; Based on this description, the Department of
    Education concluded that the initial public offering did not
    result in a change in control under the Department of
    Education&#146;s regulations. The Higher Learning Commission did
    consider our initial public offering to be a change in control
    under its policies and, while it approved our consummation of
    the offering, it informed us that it would conduct a site visit
    to confirm the appropriateness of the approval and to evaluate
    whether we continue to meet the Higher Learning
    Commission&#146;s eligibility criteria. The Higher Learning
    Commission conducted its site visit in March 2009 and
    determined, among other things, that the initial public offering
    was conducted in a manner that did not disrupt our ongoing
    operations and that no further action would be required as a
    result of the change in control. As a result, the Higher
    Learning Commission formally approved the change in control in
    June 2009. In addition, we notified the Arizona State Board for
    Private Postsecondary Education of our initial public offering
    and, based on our communications with that agency, we do not
    believe that our initial public offering constituted a change in
    control under Arizona law. We also notified other accrediting
    commissions and state agencies, as we believed necessary, of our
    initial public offering and the reasons why we believed the
    offering did not constitute a change in control under their
    respective standards, or to determine what was required if any
    such commission or agency did consider the offering to
    constitute a change in control. None of the other accrediting
    commissions and state agencies that we notified of our initial
    public offering has advised us that it concluded that the
    offering constituted a change in control under its policies or
    that it required us to take any further action.

    25% of the total outstanding voting stock of the corporation and
    is the largest stockholder of the corporation, and that
    stockholder ceases to own, or have voting control over, at least
    25% of such stock or ceases to be the largest stockholder. The
    Higher Learning Commission adopted new policies and procedures
    with respect to changes in control in June 2009, and one such
    policy provides that an institution is considered to undergo a
    change in control if a person or group increases or decreases
    its control of shares to greater than or less than 25% of the
    total outstanding shares of the stock of a parent corporation
    that owns or controls the accredited institution and, in such
    event, requires the institution to obtain its approval in
    advance of the change. In addition, the standards of the Arizona
    State Board for Private Postsecondary Education provide that an
    institution that is owned by a publicly-traded corporation whose
    control is vested in the voting members of the board of
    directors, like us, undergoes a change in control if 50% or more
    of the voting members of the board of directors change within a

    to be sold by us and the selling stockholders in this offering,
    and the addition of the Endeavour Entities (as defined herein)

    the Richardson Voting Group will continue to have voting power
    over 25% or more of our total outstanding voting stock after the
    completion of the offering and that this offering will not
    constitute a change in control under the Department of
    Education&#146;s regulations. In addition, we have been advised
    by the Higher Learning Commission and the Arizona State Board
    for Private Postsecondary Education that this offering will not

    under the Department of Education&#146;s regulations or the
    Higher Learning Commission&#146;s policies, under the terms of
    the voting agreement with the Richardson Voting Group, if any
    person party to the voting agreement transfers shares covered by
    the proxy in registered or open-market sales, the proxy is no
    longer effective as to such shares. Accordingly, the number of
    shares over which the Richardson Voting Group will continue to
    hold voting power pursuant to the voting agreement will decrease
    over time as shares held by other parties to the voting
    agreement are sold, and we may not be aware of these sales since
    many of the shares subject to the voting agreement are held in
    &#147;street name.&#148; If at any time in the future, as a
    result of such future registered or open-market sales, the
    number of shares over which the Richardson Voting Group holds
    voting power falls below 25%, a change in control will occur. At
    that point, with respect to the Department of Education, we will
    lose our eligibility to participate in the Title&#160;IV
    programs and must apply to the Department of Education in order
    to reestablish such eligibility. If we file the required
    application and follow other procedures, the Department of
    Education may temporarily certify us on a provisional basis
    following the change in control, so that our students retain
    access to Title&#160;IV program funds until the Department of
    Education completes its full review. In addition, the Department
    of Education will extend such temporary provisional
    certification if we timely file other required materials. While
    we expect to file all such applications and other materials
    within applicable deadlines, there is no assurance that we will
    be able to do so because we cannot be certain of the percentage
    of stock that is subject to the Richardson Voting Group at any
    given time in order to be certain if and when the Richardson
    Voting Group falls below the applicable 25% threshold. If we
    fail to meet any of these application and other deadlines, our
    certification will expire and our students will not be eligible
    to receive Title&#160;IV program funds until the Department of
    Education completes its full review, which commonly takes
    several months and may take longer. If the Department of
    Education approves our application after a change in control, it
    will certify us on a provisional basis for a period of up to
    approximately three years, although we cannot predict how the
    Department of Education will process this provisional
    recertification or what restrictions may be imposed if such

    The cumulative impact of recent regulatory and market
    developments and conditions, including the widespread disruption
    in the credit and financial markets, has caused some lenders to
    cease providing Title&#160;IV loans to students, including some
    lenders that previously provided our students with Title&#160;IV
    loans, also known as Federal Family Education program loans, or
    FFEL loans. Other lenders have reduced the benefits and
    increased the fees associated with the Title&#160;IV loans they
    provide. We and other schools have had to modify student loan
    practices in ways that result in higher administrative costs. If
    the cost of Title&#160;IV loans increases or availability
    decreases, some students may not be able to take out loans and
    may not enroll in a postsecondary institution. In May 2008, new
    federal legislation was enacted to attempt to ensure that all
    eligible students would be able to obtain Title&#160;IV loans in
    the future and that a sufficient number of lenders would
    continue to provide Title&#160;IV loans. Among other things,
    that legislation:

    While this legislation appears to have provided some stability
    to the marketplace for Title&#160;IV loans, it is not yet clear
    if it ultimately will be effective in ensuring students&#146;
    access to Title&#160;IV loans. The environment surrounding
    access to and cost of student loans remains in a state of flux.
    The Department of Education proposed new regulations regarding
    student loans in July 2009, which could go into effect on
    July&#160;1, 2010, and Congress is in the process of considering
    legislation to eliminate the FFEL loan program and move all
    federal student lending into the Federal Direct Loan Program,
    known as the FDL program. The uncertainty surrounding these
    issues, and any resolution of these issues that increases loan
    costs or reduces students&#146; access to Title&#160;IV loans,
    may adversely affect our student enrollments. Although we are
    approved to participate in the FDL program, because a
    significant percentage of our revenue is derived from the
    Title&#160;IV programs, any action by Congress that
    significantly reduces Title&#160;IV program funding or our
    ability or the ability of our students to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs could increase our costs of compliance,
    reduce the ability of some students to finance their education
    at our institution, require us to seek to arrange for other
    sources of financial aid for our students and materially
    decrease our student enrollment, each of which could have a
    material adverse effect on us. In addition, a transition to the
    FDL program could cause disruptions in the administration of
    Title&#160;IV program loans to our students if we or the
    Department of Education encounter difficulties with the systems
    or processes necessary for increased FDL program loans.

    regulatory revisions to address those issues before the
    Department of Education formally proposes any regulations.
    Following the conclusion of such negotiated rulemaking, in July
    and August 2009, the Department of Education proposed
    regulations relating to, among other things, the relationships
    between schools and lenders of both private and Title&#160;IV
    loans, the approval and oversight of accrediting agencies, and
    general programmatic requirements applicable to the
    Title&#160;IV programs, including the &#147;90/10 Rule.&#148;
    The Department of Education is expected to publish new final
    regulations by November&#160;1, 2009, which is the required
    deadline in order for such regulations to take effect on
    July&#160;1, 2010. In addition, in May 2009, the Department of
    Education announced its intent to establish new negotiated
    rulemaking committees that are expected to begin their
    discussions as soon as the fall of 2009, and to address a number
    of significant issues, including: compensation paid by
    institutions to persons or entities engaged in student
    recruiting or admission activities; the determination of
    satisfactory academic progress under different academic
    calendars; state authorization as a component of institutional
    eligibility; the definition of a credit hour for purposes of
    determining program eligibility status, particularly in the
    context of awarding Pell Grants; verification of information on
    student financial aid applications; and the definition of a high
    school diploma as a condition of a student&#146;s eligibility

    The issues addressed in the regulations that have been or are
    expected to be proposed by the Department of Education, as well
    as the issues to be addressed in the upcoming negotiated
    rulemaking process, are broad and complex and concern a number
    of significant aspects of the Title&#160;IV programs, including

    school-lender relationships, the &#147;90/10 Rule,&#148;

    For our fiscal years ended December&#160;31, 2007 and 2008, we
    derived cash receipts equal to approximately 70.2% and 74.4%,
    respectively, of our net revenue from tuition financed under the
    Title&#160;IV programs, which include student loans with
    interest rates subsidized by the federal government.
    Additionally, some of our students finance their education
    through private loans that are not subsidized. If our
    students&#146; employment circumstances are adversely affected
    by regional or national economic downturns, they may be more
    heavily dependent on student loans. Interest rates have reached
    relatively low levels in recent years, creating a favorable
    borrowing environment for students. However, in the event
    interest rates increase or Congress decreases the amount
    available for federal student aid, our students may have to pay
    higher interest rates on their loans. Any future increase in
    interest rates will result in a corresponding increase in
    educational costs to our existing and prospective students,
    which could result in a significant reduction in our student
    population and revenues. Higher interest rates could also
    contribute to higher default rates with respect to our
    students&#146; repayment of their education loans. Higher
    default rates may in turn adversely impact our eligibility to
    participate in some or all of the Title&#160;IV programs, which
    could result in a significant reduction in our student
    population and our profitability. See &#147;We may lose our

    related to our core disciplines is weaker than expected, as a
    result of any regional or national economic downturn or
    otherwise, fewer students may seek the types of degrees that we

    During the fiscal year ended December&#160;31, 2008, private
    loans to students at our school represented approximately 2.9%
    of our revenue (calculated on a cash basis) as compared to 5.1%
    of revenue in fiscal 2007. These loans were provided pursuant to
    private loan programs and were made available to eligible
    students to fund a portion of the students&#146; costs of
    education not covered by the Title&#160;IV programs and state
    financial aid sources. Private loans are made to our students by
    lending institutions and are non-recourse to us. The 2008
    reauthorization of the Higher Education Act and related proposed
    and final regulations place significant new restrictions on the
    relationships between institutions and the providers of private
    loans, and require that certain specific terms and disclosures
    accompany such loans. This increased regulatory burden, coupled
    with recent adverse market conditions for consumer and federally
    guaranteed student loans (including lenders&#146; difficulties
    in reselling or syndicating student loan portfolios) have
    resulted, and could continue to result, in providers of private
    loans reducing the availability of or increasing the costs
    associated with providing private loans to postsecondary
    students. In particular, loans to students with low credit
    scores who would not otherwise be eligible for credit-based
    private loans have become increasingly difficult to obtain.
    Prospective students may find that these increased financing
    costs make borrowing prohibitively expensive and abandon or
    delay enrollment in postsecondary education programs. If any of
    these scenarios were to occur, our students&#146; ability to
    finance their education could be adversely affected and our
    student population could decrease, which could have a material
    adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition,

    An institution may lose its eligibility to participate in some
    or all of the Title&#160;IV programs if, for three consecutive
    years, 25% or more of its students who were required to begin
    repayment on their student loans in one year default on their
    payment by the end of the following year. In addition, an
    institution may lose its eligibility to participate in some or
    all of the Title&#160;IV programs if the default rate of its
    students exceeds 40% for any single year. The August 2008
    reauthorization of the Higher Education Act extends by one year
    the period for which students&#146; defaults on their loans will
    be included in the calculation of an institution&#146;s default
    rate, a change that is expected to increase our cohort default
    rates. The new law also increases the threshold for an
    institution to lose its eligibility to participate in the
    relevant Title&#160;IV programs from 25% to 30% over three
    consecutive years, while leaving the threshold at 40% for a
    single year. These changes to the law take effect for
    institutions&#146; cohort default rates for federal fiscal year
    2009, which are expected to be calculated and issued by the
    Department of Education in 2012. While our cohort default rates
    have historically been significantly below these levels, we
    cannot assure you that this will continue to be the case. For
    example, we expect our cohort default rate for the 2008 federal
    fiscal year to increase (but remain well below the Department of
    Education&#146;s thresholds) due primarily to the impact of
    current economic conditions on our students and former students.
    In addition, increases in interest rates or declines in income
    or job losses for our students could contribute to higher
    default rates on student loans. Exceeding the student loan
    default rate thresholds and losing our eligibility to
    participate in the Title&#160;IV programs would have a material
    adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition,
    and results of operations. Any future changes in the formula for
    calculating student loan default rates, economic conditions, or
    other factors that cause our default rates to increase, could
    place us in danger of losing our eligibility to participate in

    The postsecondary education market is highly fragmented and
    competitive. We compete for students with traditional public and
    private two-year and four-year colleges and universities and
    other for-profit schools, including those that offer online
    learning programs. Many public and private schools, colleges,
    and universities, including most major colleges and
    universities, offer online programs. We expect to experience
    additional competition in the future as more colleges,
    universities, and for-profit schools offer an increasing number
    of online programs. Each of these competitors may develop
    platforms or other technologies, including technologies such as
    streaming video, that allow for greater levels of interactivity
    between faculty and students and that are superior to the
    platform and technology we use, and these differences may affect
    our ability to recruit and retain students. Public institutions
    receive substantial government subsidies, and public and private
    non-profit institutions have access to government and foundation
    grants, tax-deductible contributions, and other financial
    resources generally not available to for-profit schools.
    Accordingly, public and private non-profit institutions may have
    instructional and support resources superior to those in the
    for-profit sector, and public institutions can offer
    substantially lower tuition prices. Some of our competitors in
    both the public and private sectors also have substantially
    greater financial and other resources than we do. We may not be
    able to compete successfully against current or future
    competitors, including with respect to our ability to acquire or
    compete with technologies being developed by our competitors,
    and may face competitive pressures that could adversely affect
    our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of

    Our success depends to a large extent on the willingness of
    employers to employ, promote, or increase the pay of our
    graduates. Increasingly, employers demand that their new
    employees possess appropriate technical and analytical skills
    and also appropriate interpersonal skills, such as
    communication, and teamwork skills. These skills can evolve
    rapidly in a changing economic and technological environment.
    Accordingly, it is important that our educational programs
    evolve in response to those economic and technological changes.
    The expansion of existing academic programs and the development
    of new programs may not be accepted by current or prospective
    students or by the employers of our graduates. Even if we are
    able to develop acceptable new programs, we may not be able to
    begin offering those new programs in a timely fashion or as

    These relationships are an important part of our strategy as
    they provide us with a steady source of potential working adult
    students for particular programs and also serve to increase our
    reputation among high-profile employers. As a result of economic
    conditions, a number of employers we work with have reduced the

    result of seasonal variations in our business, principally due
    to changes in enrollment, and are typically lowest in our second
    fiscal quarter and highest in our fourth fiscal quarter.
    Accordingly, our results in any quarter may not indicate the
    results we may achieve in any subsequent quarter or for the full
    year. Student population varies as a result of new enrollments,
    graduations, and student attrition. A significant portion of our
    general and administrative expenses do not vary proportionately
    with fluctuations in revenues. We expect quarterly fluctuations
    in operating results to continue as a result of seasonal
    enrollment patterns. Such patterns may change, however, as a
    result of new program introductions, the timing of colloquia and
    events, and increased enrollments of students. These
    fluctuations may result in volatility or have an adverse effect
    on the market price of our common stock.

    Anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation,
    bylaws, the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, and
    regulations of state and federal education agencies could
    diminish the opportunity for stockholders to participate in
    acquisition proposals at a price above the then-current market
    price of our common stock. For example, while we have no present
    plans to issue any preferred stock, our Board of Directors,
    without further stockholder approval, may issue shares of
    undesignated preferred stock and fix the powers, preferences,
    rights, and limitations of such class or series, which could
    adversely affect the voting power of your shares. In addition,
    our bylaws provide for an advance notice procedure for
    nomination of candidates to our Board of Directors that could
    have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change
    in control. Further, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject
    to provisions of the DGCL regarding &#147;business
    combinations,&#148; which can deter attempted takeovers in
    certain situations. The approval requirements of the Department
    of Education, our regional accrediting commission, and state
    education agencies for a change in control transaction could
    also delay, deter, or prevent a transaction that would result in
    a change in control. We may, in the future, consider adopting
    additional anti-takeover measures. The authority of our board to
    issue undesignated preferred or other capital stock and the
    anti-takeover provisions of the DGCL, as well as other current
    and any future anti-takeover measures adopted by us, may, in

    In addition, in recent years, the stock market has experienced
    extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a
    significant impact on the market price of securities issued by
    many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes
    frequently appear to occur without regard to the operating
    performance of these companies. The price of our common stock
    could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing
    to do with our company, and these fluctuations could materially
    reduce our stock price.

    We are subject to extensive regulation by state education

    through the Department of Education under the Higher Education
    Act. The regulations, standards, and policies of these agencies

    recruiting, financial operations, and financial condition.

    As an institution of higher education that grants degrees and
    certificates, we are required to be authorized by appropriate
    state education authorities. In addition, in order to
    participate in the federal student financial aid programs, we
    must be accredited by an accrediting commission recognized by
    the Department of Education. Accreditation is a non-governmental
    process through which an institution submits to qualitative
    review by an organization of peer institutions, based on the
    standards of the accrediting commission and the stated aims and
    purposes of the institution. The Higher Education Act requires
    accrediting commissions recognized by the Department of
    Education to review and monitor many aspects of an
    institution&#146;s operations and to take appropriate action if
    the institution fails to meet the accrediting commission&#146;s
    standards.

    Our operations are also subject to regulation by the Department
    of Education due to our participation in federal student
    financial aid programs under Title&#160;IV of the Higher
    Education Act. Those Title&#160;IV programs include educational
    loans with below-market interest rates that are guaranteed by
    the federal government in the event of a student&#146;s default
    on repaying the loan, and also grant programs for students with
    demonstrated financial need. To participate in the Title&#160;IV
    programs, a school must receive and maintain authorization by
    the appropriate state education agency or agencies, be
    accredited by an accrediting commission recognized by the
    Department of Education, and be certified as an eligible
    institution by the Department of Education.

    Our business activities are planned and implemented to comply
    with the standards of these regulatory agencies. We employ a
    director of compliance who is knowledgeable about regulatory

    Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer, and General Counsel also
    provide oversight designed to ensure that we meet the
    requirements of our regulated operating environment.

    We are authorized to offer our educational programs by the
    Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education, the
    regulatory agency governing private postsecondary educational
    institutions in the State of Arizona, where we are located. We
    do not presently have campuses in any states other than Arizona.
    We are required by the Higher Education Act to maintain
    authorization from the Arizona State Board for Private
    Postsecondary Education in order to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs. This authorization is very important to
    us and our business. To maintain our state authorization, we
    must continuously meet standards relating to, among other
    things, educational programs, facilities, instructional and
    administrative staff, marketing and recruitment, financial
    operations, addition of new locations and educational programs,
    and various operational and administrative procedures. Failure
    to comply with the requirements of the Arizona State Board for
    Private Postsecondary Education could result in us losing our
    authorization to offer our educational programs, which would
    cause us to lose our eligibility to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs and which, in turn, could force us to
    cease operations. Alternatively, the Arizona State Board for
    Private Postsecondary Education could restrict our ability to
    offer certain degree programs.

    Most other states impose regulatory requirements on
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">out-of-state</FONT>
    educational institutions operating within their boundaries, such
    as those having a physical facility or conducting certain
    academic activities within the state. State laws establish
    standards in areas such as instruction, qualifications of
    faculty, administrative procedures, marketing, recruiting,
    financial operations, and other operational matters, some of
    which are different than the standards prescribed by the
    Department of Education or the Arizona State Board for Private
    Postsecondary Education. Laws in some states limit schools&#146;
    ability to offer educational programs and award degrees to
    residents of those states. Some states also prescribe financial
    regulations that are different from those of the Department of
    Education, and many require the posting of surety bonds.

    In addition, several states have sought to assert jurisdiction
    over educational institutions offering online degree programs
    that have no physical location or other presence in the state
    but that have some activity in the state, such as enrolling or
    offering educational services to students who reside in the
    state, employing faculty who reside in the state, or advertising
    to or recruiting prospective students in the state. State
    regulatory requirements for online education vary among the
    states, are not well developed in many states, are imprecise or
    unclear in some states, and can change frequently. New laws,
    regulations, or interpretations related to doing business over
    the Internet could increase our cost of doing business and
    affect our ability to recruit students in particular states,
    which could, in turn, negatively affect enrollments and revenues
    and have a material adverse effect on our business.

    We have determined that our activities in certain states
    constitute a presence requiring licensure or authorization under
    the requirements of the state education agency in those states.
    In other states, we have obtained approvals as we have
    determined necessary in connection with our marketing and
    recruiting activities or where we have determined that our
    licensure or authorization can facilitate the teaching
    certification process in a particular state for graduates of our
    College of Education. We review the licensure requirements of
    other states when appropriate to determine whether our
    activities in those states constitute a presence or otherwise
    require licensure or authorization by the respective state
    education agencies. Because state regulatory requirements,
    including agency interpretations, can change frequently, and
    because we enroll students in all 50&#160;states and the
    District of Columbia, we expect that state regulatory
    authorities in states where we are not currently licensed or
    authorized will request that we seek licensure or authorization
    in their states in the future. Although we believe that we will
    be able to comply with additional state licensing or
    authorization requirements that may arise or be asserted in the
    future, if we fail to comply with state licensing or
    authorization requirements for a state, or fail to obtain
    licenses or authorizations when required, we could lose our
    state licensure or authorization by that state or be subject to
    other sanctions, including restrictions on our activities in
    that state, fines, and penalties. While we do not believe that
    any of the states in which we are currently licensed or
    authorized, other than Arizona, are individually material to our
    operations, the loss of licensure or authorization in any state
    could prohibit us from recruiting prospective students or
    offering services to current students in that state, which could
    significantly reduce our enrollments.

    Many states have specific requirements that an individual must

    We have been continuously accredited since 1968 by the Higher
    Learning Commission and its predecessor, each a regional
    accrediting commission recognized by the Department of
    Education. Our accreditation was reaffirmed in 2007, and the
    next scheduled comprehensive evaluation will be conducted in
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">2016-2017.</FONT>
    Accreditation is a private, non-governmental process for
    evaluating the quality of educational institutions and their
    programs in areas including student performance, governance,
    integrity, educational quality, faculty, physical resources,
    administrative capability and resources, and financial
    stability. To be recognized by the Department of Education,
    accrediting commissions must adopt specific standards for their
    review of educational institutions, conduct peer-review
    evaluations of institutions, and publicly designate those
    institutions that meet their criteria. An accredited school is
    subject to periodic review by its accrediting commissions to
    determine whether it continues to meet the performance,
    integrity and quality required for accreditation.

    There are six regional accrediting commissions recognized by the
    Department of Education, each with a specified geographic scope
    of coverage, which together cover the entire United States. Most
    traditional, public and private non-profit, degree-granting
    colleges and universities are accredited by one of these six
    regional accrediting commissions. The Higher Learning
    Commission, which accredits Grand Canyon University, is the same
    regional accrediting commission that accredits such universities
    as the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and
    other degree-granting public and private colleges and
    universities in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado,
    Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
    Nebraska, New&#160;Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South

    Accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission is important to
    us for several reasons, including the fact that it enables our
    students to receive Title&#160;IV financial aid. Other colleges
    and universities depend, in part, on an institution&#146;s
    accreditation in evaluating transfers of credit and applications
    to graduate schools. Employers rely on the accredited status of
    institutions when evaluating candidates&#146; credentials, and
    students and corporate and government sponsors under tuition
    reimbursement programs look to accreditation for assurance that
    an institution maintains quality educational standards. If we
    fail to satisfy the standards of the Higher Learning Commission,
    we could lose our accreditation by that agency, which would
    cause us to lose our eligibility to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs.

    The reauthorization of the Higher Education Act in 2008, and
    proposed regulations issued by the Department of Education,
    require accreditors to monitor the growth of programs at
    institutions that are experiencing significant enrollment
    growth. The Higher Learning Commission requires all affiliated
    institutions to complete an annual data report. If the
    non-financial data, particularly enrollment information, and any
    other information submitted by the institution indicate
    problems, rapid change, or significant growth, the Higher
    Learning Commission staff may require that the institution
    address any concerns arising from the data report in the next
    self-study and visit process. The Higher Learning Commission
    staff may also recommend that its Institutional Actions Council
    require additional monitoring. In addition, the Department of
    Education has proposed regulations, which could take effect on
    July&#160;1, 2010, that would require the Higher Learning
    Commission to notify the Department of Education if an
    institution it accredits that offers distance learning programs
    experiences an increase in its headcount enrollment of 50% or
    more in any fiscal year, which could include us based on our
    historical enrollment growth rates, and the Department of
    Education may consider that information in connection with its
    own regulatory oversight activities.

    In addition to institutional accreditation by the Higher
    Learning Commission, there are numerous specialized accrediting
    commissions that accredit specific programs or schools within

    To be eligible to participate in the Title&#160;IV programs, an

    accrediting commission recognized by the Department of

    of Education did not make a decision on our recertification

    The substantial amount of federal funds disbursed to schools
    through the Title&#160;IV programs, the large number of students
    and institutions participating in these programs, and
    allegations of fraud and abuse by certain for-profit educational
    institutions have caused Congress to require the Department of
    Education to exercise considerable regulatory oversight over
    for-profit educational institutions. As a result, our
    institution is subject to extensive oversight and review.
    Because the Department of Education periodically revises its
    regulations (as it will do in 2009 in connection with the August
    2008 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act described

    reauthorize the Higher Education Act on a periodic basis,
    usually every five to six years, and the most recent
    reauthorization occurred in August 2008. The reauthorized Higher
    Education Act reauthorized all of the Title&#160;IV programs in
    which we participate, but made numerous revisions to the
    requirements governing the Title&#160;IV programs, including
    provisions relating to the relationships between institutions
    and lenders that make student loans, student loan default rates,
    and the formula for revenue that institutions are permitted to
    derive from the Title&#160;IV programs. In addition, in 2007
    Congress enacted legislation that reduces interest rates on
    certain Title&#160;IV loans and government subsidies to lenders
    that participate in the Title&#160;IV programs. In May 2008,
    Congress enacted additional legislation to attempt to ensure
    that all eligible students will be able to obtain Title&#160;IV
    loans in the future, and that a sufficient number of lenders
    will continue to provide Title&#160;IV loans. Additional
    legislation is also pending in Congress. In addition, Congress
    is currently considering the Student Aid and Fiscal
    Responsibility Act which, among other things, could eliminate
    the federally guaranteed student loan program and require all
    future student loans to be made through the FDL program. We are
    not in a position to predict with certainty whether any of the
    pending legislation will be enacted. Although we are approved to

    established five negotiated rulemaking committees to begin to
    work on developing such regulations. Negotiated rulemaking is a
    process whereby the Department of Education consults with
    members of the postsecondary education community to identify
    issues of concern and attempts to agree on proposed regulatory
    revisions to address those issues before the Department of

    agreements made in the negotiation process. The five negotiated

    participants in this next round of negotiated rulemaking, but
    the process is expected to begin as soon as the fall of 2009,
    and is expected to address a number of significant issues,
    including: compensation paid by institutions to persons or
    entities engaged in student recruiting or admission activities;
    the determination of satisfactory academic progress under
    different academic calendars; state authorization as a component
    of institutional eligibility; the definition of a credit hour
    for purposes of determining program eligibility status,
    particularly in the context of awarding Pell Grants;
    verification of information included on student aid
    applications; and the definition of a high school diploma as a
    condition of a student&#146;s receipt of Title&#160;IV aid. We
    are still assessing the impact of these proposed regulations and
    the upcoming negotiated rulemaking on our financial aid policies
    and other plans and strategies.

    <I>Eligibility and certification procedures.</I>&#160;&#160;Each
    institution must apply periodically to the Department of
    Education for continued certification to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs. Such recertification generally is
    required every six years, but may be required earlier, including
    when an institution undergoes a change in control. An
    institution may also come under the Department of
    Education&#146;s review when it expands its activities in
    certain ways, such as opening an additional location, adding a
    new educational program or modifying the academic credentials it
    offers. The Department of Education may place an institution on
    provisional certification status if it finds that the
    institution does not fully satisfy all of the eligibility and
    certification standards and in certain other circumstances, such
    as when an institution is certified for the first time or
    undergoes a change in control. During the period of provisional
    certification, the institution must comply with any additional
    conditions included in the school&#146;s program participation
    agreement with the Department of Education. In addition, the
    Department of Education may more closely review an institution
    that is provisionally certified if it applies for
    recertification or approval to open a new location, add an
    educational program, acquire another school, or make any other
    significant change. If the Department of Education determines
    that a provisionally certified institution is unable to meet its
    responsibilities under its program participation agreement, it
    may seek to revoke the institution&#146;s certification to
    participate in the Title&#160;IV programs without advance notice
    or opportunity for the institution to challenge the action.
    Students attending provisionally certified institutions remain
    eligible to receive Title&#160;IV program funds.

    Since May 2005 we have been certified to participate in
    Title&#160;IV programs on a provisional basis. We submitted our
    application for recertification in March 2008 in anticipation of
    the expiration of our provisional certification on June&#160;30,
    2008. The Department of Education did not make a decision on our
    recertification application by June&#160;30, 2008, and therefore
    our provisional certification to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs has been automatically extended on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">month-to-month</FONT>
    basis until the Department of Education makes its decision.
    Since June 2008, we have filed updates with the Department of
    Education and communicated with Department of Education
    personnel in order to update our pending recertification
    application with relevant information, such as our status as a
    publicly-traded corporation and the identity of the members of
    our Board of Directors. Based on our provisional certification,
    the Department of Education may more closely review any
    application we may file for recertification, new locations, new
    educational programs, acquisitions of other schools, or other
    significant changes. For a school that is certified on a
    provisional basis, the Department of Education may revoke the
    institution&#146;s certification without advance notice or
    advance opportunity for the institution to challenge that
    action. For a school that is provisionally certified on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">month-to-month</FONT>
    basis, the Department of Education may allow the
    institution&#146;s certification to expire at the end of any
    month without advance notice, and without any formal procedure
    for review of such action. To our knowledge, such action is very
    rare and has only occurred upon a determination that an
    institution is in substantial violation of material
    Title&#160;IV requirements. For the foreseeable future, we do
    not have plans to initiate new educational programs, acquire
    other schools, or make other significant changes in our
    operations that would require approval of the Department of
    Education. Accordingly, we do not believe that our continued
    provisional certification on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">month-to-month</FONT>
    basis has had or will have any material impact on our
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">day-to-day</FONT>
    operations. However, there can be no assurance that the
    Department of Education will recertify us while the
    investigation by the Office of Inspector General of the
    Department of Education is being conducted, while the <I>qui
    tam</I> lawsuit is pending, or at all, or that it will not
    impose restrictions as a condition of approving our pending
    recertification application or with respect to any future
    recertification. If the Department of Education does not renew
    or withdraws our certification to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs at any time, our students would no longer
    be able to receive Title&#160;IV program funds. Similarly, the
    Department of Education could renew our certification, but
    restrict or delay our students&#146; receipt of Title&#160;IV
    funds, limit the number of students to whom we could disburse
    such funds, or place other restrictions on us that could be
    similar to, or more or less restrictive than, the restrictions
    that the Department of Education imposed on us in connection
    with our recertification in 2005. Any of these outcomes would
    have a material adverse effect on our enrollments and us.

    The Department of Education also recently published proposed
    revisions to the administrative capability regulations. These
    revisions include provisions related to (i)&#160;reporting to
    the Department of Education any reasonable reimbursements paid
    or provided by a lender to institutional employees with loan or
    other financial aid responsibilities and
    (ii)&#160;implementation of the new three year cohort default
    rate rules. Following review of any comments, the Department of
    Education will publish final regulations. If such final
    regulations are published by November&#160;1, 2009, which is
    expected, such new regulations will be effective on July&#160;1,
    2010. We will have to make certain administrative and reporting
    changes to adapt our systems and practices to meet the
    requirements of these new regulations when they take effect, and
    we are still assessing the other potential impacts, if any, of
    these proposed regulations on our business. In addition, as part
    of our transition from a &#147;term-based&#148; financial aid
    system (where all students, including online students, begin
    programs and are eligible to receive financial aid at periodic
    start dates pursuant to a calendar-based term system) to a
    &#147;borrower-based&#148; financial aid system (where each
    student may begin a program and be eligible to receive financial
    aid at any time throughout the year), we are converting our back
    office system from Datatel to a series of programs developed by
    Campus Management Corp., including CampusVue and CampusPortal.
    This conversion is intended to allow us to manage our
    non-traditional online students with greater ease and
    flexibility by providing for rolling and flexible start dates.
    If we do not effectively implement this system or if the system
    does not operate as intended, it could affect our ability to

    capability requirements. If we are found not to have satisfied

    Act and Department of Education regulations establish extensive
    standards of financial responsibility that institutions such as

    the Title&#160;IV programs. The Department of Education

    The Department of Education assigns a strength factor to the
    results of each of these ratios on a scale from negative 1.0 to
    positive 3.0, with negative 1.0 reflecting financial weakness
    and positive 3.0 reflecting financial strength. The Department
    of Education then assigns a weighting percentage to each ratio
    and adds the weighted scores for the three ratios together to
    produce a composite score for the institution. The composite
    score for the institution&#146;s most recent fiscal year must be
    at least 1.5 for the institution to be deemed financially
    responsible without the need for further Department of Education
    oversight. In addition to having an acceptable composite score,
    an institution must, among other things, provide the
    administrative resources necessary to comply with Title&#160;IV
    program requirements, meet all of its financial obligations
    including required refunds to students and any Title&#160;IV
    liabilities and debts, be current in its debt payments, and not

    When we were recertified by the Department of Education in 2005
    to continue participating in the Title&#160;IV programs, the
    Department of Education advised us that we did not satisfy its
    standards of financial responsibility, based on our fiscal year
    2004 financial statements, as submitted to the Department of
    Education. As a result of this and other concerns about our
    administrative capability, the Department of Education required
    us to post a letter of credit, accept restrictions on the growth
    of our program offerings and enrollment, and receive
    Title&#160;IV funds under the heightened cash monitoring system
    of payment rather than by advance payment. In October 2006, the
    Department of Education eliminated the letter of credit
    requirement and allowed the growth restrictions to expire, based
    upon its review of our fiscal year 2005 financial statements. We
    have subsequently submitted our fiscal year 2006, 2007, and 2008
    financial statements to the Department of Education as required,
    and we calculated that our composite score for each such fiscal
    year exceeded 1.5. We therefore believe that we meet the
    Department of Education&#146;s financial responsibility
    standards for our most recently completed fiscal year.

    If the Department of Education were to determine that we did not
    meet the financial responsibility standards due to a failure to
    meet the composite score or other factors, we would expect to be
    able to establish financial responsibility on an alternative
    basis permitted by the Department of Education, which could
    include, in the Department&#146;s discretion, posting a letter
    of credit, accepting provisional certification, complying with
    additional Department of Education monitoring requirements,
    agreeing to receive Title&#160;IV program funds under an
    arrangement other than the Department of Education&#146;s
    standard advance funding arrangement, such as the reimbursement

    Title&#160;IV funds withdraws from school, the institution must
    determine the amount of Title&#160;IV program funds the student
    has &#147;earned.&#148; If the student withdraws during the
    first 60% of any period of enrollment or payment period, the
    amount of Title&#160;IV program funds that the student has
    earned is equal to a pro rata portion of the funds the student
    received or for which the student would otherwise be eligible.
    If the student withdraws after the 60% threshold, then the
    student is deemed to have earned 100% of the Title&#160;IV
    program funds he or she received. The institution must return
    the unearned Title&#160;IV program funds to the appropriate
    lender or the Department of Education in a timely manner, which
    is generally no later than 45&#160;days after the date the
    institution determined that the student withdrew. If such
    payments are not timely made, the institution will be required
    to submit a letter of credit to the Department of Education
    equal to 25% of the Title&#160;IV funds that the institution
    should have returned for withdrawn students in its most recently
    completed fiscal year. Under Department of Education
    regulations, late returns of Title&#160;IV program funds for 5%

    institution&#146;s annual Title&#160;IV compliance audit for
    either of the institution&#146;s two most recent fiscal years or
    in a Department of Education program review triggers this letter
    of credit requirement. We did not exceed this 5% threshold in

    <I>The &#147;90/10 Rule.&#148;&#160;&#160;</I>A requirement of
    the Higher Education Act, commonly referred to as the
    &#147;90/10 Rule,&#148; that is applicable only to for-profit,
    postsecondary educational institutions like us, provides that an
    institution loses its eligibility to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs, if, under a complex regulatory formula
    that requires cash basis accounting and other adjustments to the
    calculation of revenue, the institution derives more than 90% of
    its revenues for each of two consecutive fiscal years from
    Title&#160;IV program funds. This rule provides that an
    institution that violates this revenue limit becomes ineligible
    to participate in the Title&#160;IV programs as of the first day
    of the fiscal year following the second consecutive fiscal year
    in which it exceeds the 90% threshold, and its period of
    ineligibility extends for at least two consecutive fiscal years.
    If an institution exceeds the 90% threshold for two consecutive
    fiscal years and it and its students have received Title&#160;IV
    funds during the period of ineligibility, the institution will
    be required to return those funds to the applicable lender or
    the Department of Education. If an institution&#146;s rate
    exceeds 90% for any single fiscal year, it will be placed on
    provisional certification for at least two fiscal years. The
    August 2008 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act included
    significant revisions to the &#147;90/10 Rule&#148; that became
    effective upon the date of the law&#146;s enactment.

    Recent changes in federal law that increased Title&#160;IV grant
    and loan limits, and any additional increases in the future, may
    result in an increase in the revenues we receive from the
    Title&#160;IV programs, which could make it more difficult for
    us to satisfy the &#147;90/10 Rule.&#148; In addition, economic
    downturns that adversely affect the employment circumstances of
    our students or their parents, or that reduce the availability
    of private loans for our students, could also increase their
    reliance on Title&#160;IV programs. However, such effects may be
    mitigated by other provisions of the 2008 Higher Education Act
    reauthorization that allow institutions, when calculating their
    compliance with this revenue test, to exclude from their
    Title&#160;IV revenues for a three-year period the additional
    federal student loan amounts that became available through the
    Unsubsidized Stafford Loan Program starting in July 2008, and to
    include more non-Title&#160;IV revenues, such as revenues from
    institutional loans under certain circumstances. Using the
    Department of Education&#146;s formula under the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">&#147;90/10&#160;Rule&#148;</FONT>
    that was in effect prior to the August 2008 reauthorization of
    the Higher Education Act, for our 2007 and 2008 fiscal years, we
    derived approximately 74.0% and 78.6%, respectively, of our
    revenues (calculated on a cash basis) from Title&#160;IV program
    funds. These rates have been reviewed by our financial
    accounting firm as reflected in the notes to our audited
    financial statements for each fiscal year. We are reviewing the
    Department of Education&#146;s proposed regulations and other
    factors bearing on the trends in our percentage under the 90/10
    Rule for our 2009 fiscal year and future years. However, as a
    result of recent changes in federal law that increased
    Title&#160;IV grant and loan limits, as well as the current
    economic downturn, which has adversely affected the employment
    circumstances of our students and their parents and increased
    their reliance on Title&#160;IV programs, we expect the
    percentage of our revenue that we receive from the Title&#160;IV
    programs to continue to increase in the future, making it more
    difficult for us to satisfy this requirement.

    <I>Student loan defaults.</I>&#160;&#160;Under the Higher
    Education Act, an educational institution may lose its
    eligibility to participate in some or all of the Title&#160;IV
    programs if defaults by its students on the repayment of their
    FFEL student loans or Federal Direct Loans exceed certain
    levels. For each federal fiscal year, the Department of
    Education calculates a rate of student defaults for each
    institution (known as a &#147;cohort default rate&#148;). An
    institution&#146;s cohort default rate for a federal fiscal year
    historically has been calculated by determining the rate at
    which borrowers who became subject to their repayment obligation
    in one federal fiscal year default in that same year or by the
    end of the following federal fiscal year (the &#147;two-year
    method&#148;). The reauthorization of the Higher Education Act
    in 2008 extended the measurement period for cohort default rates
    so that the rate is calculated by determining the rate at which
    borrowers who became subject to their repayment obligation in
    one federal fiscal year default in that same year or by the end
    of the second following federal fiscal year (the
    &#147;three-year method&#148;), which is expected to increase
    cohort default rates for most if not all institutions.

    The Department of Education has proposed a regulation indicating
    that it will begin to implement this extended measurement period
    for the cohort default rates that will be calculated for loans
    that enter repayment in federal fiscal year 2009, which is the
    year that ends on September&#160;30, 2009. The Department of
    Education has proposed a transition period of three years during
    which it will calculate two cohort default rates for each
    institution for each of federal fiscal years 2009, 2010 and
    2011, with one such rate measured under the two-year method and
    the other such rate measured under the three-year method. The
    cohort default rates for federal fiscal year 2009, 2010 and
    2011, as calculated under the new three-year method, are not
    expected to be published until calendar years 2012, 2013 and

    The Department of Education will apply different legal
    thresholds to measure an institution&#146;s compliance under
    each set of rates. If the Department of Education notifies an
    institution that its cohort default rates exceed 25%, as
    calculated under the two-year method, for each of its three most
    recent federal fiscal years, or exceed 30%, as calculated under
    the three-year method, for each of the three most recent federal
    fiscal years, the institution&#146;s participation in the FFEL
    program, the FDL program and the Pell program ends 30&#160;days
    after that notification, unless the institution appeals that
    determination in a timely manner on specified grounds and
    according to specified procedures. In addition, an
    institution&#146;s participation in the FFEL program and the FDL
    program ends 30&#160;days after notification by the Department
    of Education that its most recent cohort default rate, as
    calculated under either the two-year method or the three-year
    method, is greater than 40%, unless the institution timely
    appeals that determination on specified grounds and according to
    specified procedures. An institution whose participation ends
    under either of these provisions may not participate in the
    relevant programs for the remainder of the fiscal year in which
    the institution receives the notification and for the next two
    fiscal years. If an institution&#146;s cohort default rate for
    any single federal fiscal year equals or exceeds 25% under the
    two-year method, or 30% under the three-year method, the
    Department of Education may place the institution on provisional
    certification status.

    1.6%, respectively. Our draft cohort default rate for the 2007
    federal fiscal year is 1.4%. We expect our cohort default rate
    for the 2008 federal fiscal year to increase due primarily to
    the impact of current economic conditions on our students and
    former students, although we expect such rate to remain well
    below the Department of Education&#146;s thresholds.

    describe payments and arrangements that do not violate the
    incentive compensation rule. The Department of Education&#146;s
    regulations make clear that the safe harbors are not a complete
    list of permissible practices under this law. For example, one
    of these safe harbors permits adjustments to fixed salary for
    enrollment personnel provided that such adjustments are not made
    more than twice during any twelve month period, and that any
    adjustment is not based solely on the number of students
    recruited, admitted, enrolled, or awarded financial aid, but the
    regulations do not address other practices, such as the
    provision of non-cash awards to enrollment personnel. The
    restrictions of the incentive compensation rule also extend to
    any third-party companies that an educational institution
    contracts with for student recruitment, admissions, or financial
    aid awarding services. Since 2005, we have engaged Mind Streams,

    In recent years, several for-profit education companies have
    been faced with whistleblower lawsuits, known as &#147;qui

    one or more individuals (a &#147;relator&#148;) on behalf of the
    federal government for an alleged submission to the government
    of a false claim for payment. The relator, often a current or

    recovery in the case. A <I>qui tam </I>action is always filed
    under seal and remains under seal until the government decides

    it takes over primary control of the litigation. If the

    On September&#160;11, 2008, we were served with a <I>qui tam

    September&#160;5, 2008, when the court unsealed the first
    amended complaint, which had been filed on August&#160;11, 2008.
    The <I>qui tam </I>lawsuit alleges, among other things, that we
    violated the False Claims Act by knowingly making false
    statements, and submitting false records or statements, from at
    least 2001 to the present, to get false or fraudulent claims
    paid or approved, and asserts that we have improperly
    compensated certain of our enrollment counselors in violation of
    the Title&#160;IV law governing compensation of such employees,
    and as a result, improperly received Title&#160;IV program
    funds. The complaint specifically alleges that some of our
    compensation practices with respect to our enrollment personnel,
    including providing non-cash awards, have violated the
    Title&#160;IV law governing compensation. While we believe that
    our compensation policies and practices at issue in the
    complaint have not been based on success in enrolling students
    in violation of applicable law, the Department of
    Education&#146;s regulations and interpretations of the
    incentive compensation law do not establish clear criteria for
    compliance in all circumstances and some of our practices,
    including in respect of non-cash awards, have not been within
    the scope of any specific &#147;safe harbor&#148; provided in

    amount of unspecified damages sustained by the federal
    government in connection with our receipt of Title&#160;IV
    funding, a civil penalty for each violation of the False Claims
    Act, attorneys&#146; fees, costs, and interest. We filed a
    motion to dismiss this case in November 2008, which was denied
    by the court in February 2009, and we have continued to
    vigorously contest this lawsuit.

    Pursuant to the court&#146;s mandatory scheduling order, we have

    that would include, among other things, the resolution by the
    Office of Inspector General of its investigation. Accordingly,

    nationally, as well as Department of Education employees, to
    consider how the current regulations should be revised. The
    Department of Education has stated that it intends for the
    committees to be appointed and to begin their work in the fall
    of 2009. Following a committee&#146;s review and drafting of
    possible revisions to the incentive compensation regulations,
    the Department of Education will develop and publish proposed
    revisions to the regulations, on which members of the public
    will be invited to provide comments. Following review of any
    public comments, the Department of Education will publish final
    new regulations. Under current law, any such revisions to the
    current incentive compensation regulations would not take effect
    any earlier than July&#160;1, 2011.

    <I>Potential effect of regulatory violations.</I>&#160;&#160;If
    we fail to comply with the regulatory standards governing the
    Title&#160;IV programs, the Department of Education could impose
    one or more sanctions, including transferring us to the
    reimbursement or cash monitoring system of payment, requiring us
    to repay Title&#160;IV program funds, requiring us to post a
    letter of credit in favor of the Department of Education as a
    condition for continued Title&#160;IV certification, taking
    emergency action against us, initiating proceedings to impose a
    fine or to limit, suspend, or terminate our participation in the
    Title&#160;IV programs, or referring the matter for civil or
    criminal prosecution. Since we are provisionally certified to
    participate in the Title&#160;IV programs on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">month-to-month</FONT>
    basis, the Department of Education could allow our certification
    to expire at the end of any month without advance notice and
    without any formal procedure for review of such action. In
    addition, the agencies that guarantee FFEL loans for our
    students could initiate proceedings to limit, suspend, or
    terminate our eligibility to provide FFEL loans in the event of
    certain regulatory violations. If such sanctions or proceedings
    were imposed against us and resulted in a substantial
    curtailment or termination of our participation in the

    If we lost our eligibility to participate in the Title&#160;IV
    programs, or if the amount of available Title&#160;IV program
    funds was reduced, we would seek to arrange or provide
    alternative sources of revenue or financial aid for students. We
    believe that one or more private organizations would be willing
    to provide financial assistance to our students, but there is no
    assurance that this would be the case. The interest rate and
    other terms of such financial aid would likely not be as
    favorable as those for Title&#160;IV program funds, and we might
    be required to guarantee all or part of such alternative
    assistance or might incur other additional costs in connection
    with securing such alternative assistance. It is unlikely that
    we would be able to arrange alternative funding on any terms to
    replace all the Title&#160;IV funding our students receive.
    Accordingly, our loss of eligibility to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs, or a reduction in the amount of
    available Title&#160;IV program funding for our students, would

    As a result of the increased scrutiny of student loan programs,
    Congress has passed new laws, the Department of Education has
    enacted stricter regulations, and several states have adopted
    codes of conduct or enacted state laws that further regulate the
    conduct of lenders, schools, and school personnel. These new
    laws and regulations, among other things, limit schools&#146;
    relationships with lenders, restrict the types of services that
    schools may receive from lenders, prohibit lenders from
    providing other types of funding to schools in exchange for
    Title&#160;IV loan volume, require schools to provide additional
    information to students concerning institutionally preferred
    lenders, and significantly reduce the amount of federal payments
    to lenders who participate in the Title&#160;IV loan programs.
    In addition, recent adverse market conditions for consumer loans
    in general have adversely affected the student lending
    marketplace.

    The cumulative impact of these developments and conditions has
    caused some lenders to cease providing Title&#160;IV loans to
    students, including some lenders that previously provided
    Title&#160;IV loans to our students. Other lenders have reduced
    the benefits and increased the fees associated with the
    Title&#160;IV loans they do provide. We and other schools have
    had to modify student loan practices in ways that result in
    higher administrative costs. If the costs of their Title&#160;IV
    loans increase, some students may decide not to take out loans
    and not enroll in a postsecondary institution. In May 2008, new
    federal legislation was enacted to attempt to ensure that all
    eligible students would be able to obtain Title&#160;IV loans in
    the future and that a sufficient number of lenders would
    continue to provide Title&#160;IV loans. Among other things,

    While this legislation appears to have provided some stability
    to the marketplace for Title&#160;IV loans, it is not yet clear
    if it ultimately will be effective in ensuring students&#146;
    access to Title&#160;IV loans. The environment surrounding
    access to and cost of student loans remains in a state of flux.
    The Department of Education proposed new regulations regarding
    student loans in July 2009, which could go into effect on
    July&#160;1, 2010, and Congress is considering legislation to
    eliminate the FFEL loan program and move all federal student
    lending into the FDL program. The uncertainty surrounding these
    issues, and any resolution of these issues that increases loan
    costs or reduces students&#146; access to Title&#160;IV loans,
    may adversely affect our student enrollments. Although we are
    approved to participate in the FDL program, because a
    significant percentage of our revenue is derived from the
    Title&#160;IV programs, any action by Congress that
    significantly reduces Title&#160;IV program funding or our
    ability or the ability of our students to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs could increase our costs of compliance,
    reduce the ability of some students to finance their education
    at our institution, require us to seek to arrange for other
    sources of financial aid for our students and materially
    decrease our student enrollment, each of which could have a
    material adverse effect on us. In addition, a transition to the
    FDL program could cause disruptions in the administration of
    Title&#160;IV program loans to our students if we or the
    Department of Education encounter difficulties with the systems
    or processes necessary for increased FDL program loans.

    With respect to the Department of Education, if an institution
    participating in the Title&#160;IV programs plans to add a new
    location or educational program, the institution must generally
    apply to the Department of Education to have the additional
    location or educational program designated as within the scope
    of the institution&#146;s Title&#160;IV eligibility. However, a
    degree-granting institution such as us is not required to obtain
    the Department of Education&#146;s approval of additional
    programs that lead to an associate, bachelor&#146;s,
    professional, or graduate degree at the same degree level as
    programs previously approved by the Department of Education.
    Similarly, an institution is not required to obtain advance
    approval for new programs that prepare students for gainful
    employment in the same or a related recognized occupation as an
    educational program that has previously been designated by the
    Department of Education as an eligible program at that
    institution if it meets certain minimum-length requirements.
    However, as a condition for an institution to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs on a provisional basis, the Department of
    Education can require prior approval of such programs or
    otherwise restrict the number of programs an institution may add
    or the extent to which an institution can modify existing
    educational programs. If an institution that is required to
    obtain the Department of Education&#146;s advance approval for
    the addition of a new program or new location fails to do so,
    the institution may be liable for repayment of the Title&#160;IV
    program funds received by the institution or students in
    connection with that program or enrolled at that location.

    <I>Acquiring other schools.</I>&#160;&#160;While we have not
    acquired any other schools in the past, we may seek to do so in
    the future. The Department of Education and virtually all state
    education agencies and accrediting commissions require a company
    to seek their approval if it wishes to acquire another school.
    In our case, we would need to obtain the approval of the Arizona
    State Board for Private Postsecondary Education or other state
    education agency that licenses the school being acquired, the
    Higher Learning Commission, any other accrediting commission
    that accredits the school being acquired, and the Department of
    Education. The level of review varies by individual state and
    accrediting commission, with some requiring approval of such an
    acquisition before it occurs while others only consider approval
    after the acquisition has occurred. The Higher Learning
    Commission would require us to obtain its advance approval of
    such an acquisition. The approval of the applicable state
    education agencies and accrediting commissions is a necessary
    prerequisite to the Department of Education certifying the
    acquired school to participate in the Title&#160;IV programs
    under our ownership. The restrictions imposed by any of the
    applicable regulatory agencies could delay or prevent our
    acquisition of other schools in some circumstances.

    The Department of Education may place an institution on
    provisional certification status if it finds that the
    institution does not fully satisfy all of the eligibility and
    certification standards. In addition, if a company acquires a
    school from another entity, the acquired school will
    automatically be placed on provisional certification when the
    Department of Education approves the transaction. During the
    period of provisional certification, the institution must comply
    with any additional conditions or restrictions included in its
    program participation agreement with the Department of
    Education. If the Department of Education finds that a
    provisionally certified institution is unable to meet its
    responsibilities under its program participation agreement, it
    may seek to revoke the institution&#146;s certification to
    participate in the Title&#160;IV programs without advance notice
    or advance opportunity for the institution to challenge that
    action. In addition, the Department of Education may more
    closely review an institution that is provisionally certified if
    it applies for recertification or approval to open a new
    location, add an educational program, acquire another school, or
    make any other significant change. Students attending
    provisionally certified institutions remain eligible to receive
    Title&#160;IV program funds.

    the expiration of our provisional certification on June&#160;30,
    2008. The Department of Education did not make a decision on our
    recertification application by June&#160;30, 2008 and therefore
    our provisional certification to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs has been automatically extended on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">month-to-month</FONT>
    basis until the Department of Education makes its decision.
    Since June 2008, we have filed updates with the Department of
    Education and communicated with Department of Education
    personnel in order to update our pending recertification
    application with relevant information, such as our status as a
    publicly-traded corporation after the initial public offering
    and the identity of the members of our Board of Directors. There
    can be no assurance that the Department of Education will
    recertify us while the investigation by the Office of Inspector
    General of the Department of Education is being conducted, while
    the qui tam lawsuit is pending, or at all, or that it will not
    impose restrictions as a condition of approving our pending
    recertification application or with respect to any future
    recertification.

    Under Department of Education regulations, an institution that
    undergoes a change in control as defined by the Department of
    Education loses its eligibility to participate in the
    Title&#160;IV programs and must apply to the Department of
    Education in order to reestablish such eligibility. In
    connection with our initial public offering in November 2008, we
    submitted a description of the offering to the Department of
    Education, including a description of the voting agreement that
    forms the basis for the Richardson Voting Group. Based on this
    description, the Department of Education concluded that our
    initial public offering did not result in a change in control
    under the Department of Education&#146;s regulations that were
    applicable to us before we became a publicly-traded corporation.
    With respect to publicly-traded corporations, like us,
    Department of Education regulations provide that a change in
    control occurs if either: (i)&#160;there is an event that would
    obligate the corporation to file a Current Report on
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Form&#160;8-K</FONT>
    with the SEC disclosing a change in control, or (ii)&#160;the
    corporation has a stockholder that owns, or has voting control
    over, at least 25% of the total outstanding voting stock of the
    corporation and is the largest stockholder of the corporation
    (defined in the regulations as a &#147;controlling
    shareholder&#148;), and that controlling shareholder ceases to
    own, or have voting control over, at least 25% of such stock or
    ceases to be the largest stockholder. Based on the number of
    shares of common stock expected to be sold by us and the selling
    stockholders in this offering, we believe that the Richardson
    Voting Group will continue to hold voting power with respect to
    25% or more of our total outstanding voting stock after the
    completion of the offering and that this offering will not
    constitute a change in control under the Department of
    Education&#146;s regulations. See &#147;Beneficial Ownership of
    Common Stock.&#148; We have notified the Department of Education
    of this offering and we plan to initiate further communications
    with the Department of Education to seek its confirmation that
    the offering will not constitute a change in control under its
    standards.

    The Higher Learning Commission provides that an institution must
    obtain its approval in advance of a change in ownership,
    corporate control or structure in order for the institution to
    retain its accredited status. In June 2009, the Higher Learning
    Commission adopted new policies and standards for the review of
    transactions that may constitute such a change in control. One
    standard provides that a transaction may be considered a change
    in control if an individual, entity or group increases or
    decreases its control of shares to greater than or

     less than 25% of the total outstanding shares of the stock of a
    parent corporation that owns or controls the accredited
    institution. In addition, in the event of a change in control,
    the Higher Learning Commission requires the institution to
    obtain its approval in advance of the change, and in certain
    circumstances that process may require several weeks or several
    months or more to complete. In addition, following a change in
    control, the Higher Learning Commission will conduct an onsite
    evaluation within six months in order to continue the
    institution&#146;s accreditation. The Higher Learning Commission
    did consider our initial public offering in November 2008 to be
    a change in control under its policies and, while it approved
    our consummation of the offering, it informed us that it would
    conduct a site visit to confirm the appropriateness of the
    approval and to evaluate whether we continue to meet the Higher
    Learning Commission&#146;s eligibility criteria. The Higher
    Learning Commission, after conducting its site visit in March
    2009, determined, among other things, that the initial public
    offering was conducted in a manner that did not disrupt our
    ongoing operations and that no further action would be required
    as a result of the change in control, and formally approved the
    change in control in June 2009. Based on the number of shares of
    common stock expected to be sold by us and the selling
    stockholders in this offering, we believe that the Richardson
    Voting Group will continue to hold voting power with respect to
    25% or more of our total outstanding voting stock after the
    completion of the offering and that this offering will not
    constitute a change in control under the Higher Learning
    Commission&#146;s policies. See &#147;Beneficial Ownership of
    Common Stock.&#148; We have submitted a description of this
    offering to the Higher Learning Commission and have been advised
    by the Higher Learning Commission that the offering will not
    constitute a change in control under its policies and standards.

    Even if this offering will not constitute a change of control
    under the Department of Education&#146;s regulations or the
    Higher Learning Commission&#146;s policies, under the terms of
    the voting agreement with the Richardson Voting Group, if any
    person party to the voting agreement transfers shares covered by
    the proxy in registered or open-market sales, the proxy is no
    longer effective as to such shares. Accordingly, the number of
    shares over which the Richardson Voting Group will continue to
    hold voting power will decrease over time as shares held by
    other parties to the voting agreement are sold, and we may not
    be aware of these sales since many of the shares subject to the
    voting agreement are held in &#147;street name.&#148; If at any
    time in the future, as a result of such future registered or
    open-market sales, the number of shares over which the
    Richardson Voting Group holds voting power falls below 25%, a
    change in control will occur. At that point, with respect to the
    Department of Education, if we file a timely and materially
    complete application, the Department of Education may
    temporarily certify us on a provisional basis following the
    change in control, so that our students would retain access to
    Title&#160;IV program funds until the Department of Education
    completes its full review. In addition, the Department of
    Education will extend our temporary provisional certification if
    we timely file other required materials, including any approval
    of the change of control by the Higher Learning Commission and
    the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education, as
    required, and certain required financial information (consisting
    of our recent SEC filings) showing our financial condition. As a
    general matter, an institution is required to file the
    materially complete application within ten business days after
    the change in control, as measured from the date of the event
    that constitutes the change in control. The deadline for an
    institution to timely file the other materials, including the
    financial documentation, that are required following a change in
    control is the last day of the month following the month in
    which the change of control occurs. For an institution that is
    owned by a publicly traded corporation, like us, a related
    Department of Education regulation provides that the deadline to
    notify the Department of Education of a significant change in
    the distribution of the ownership of the institution is ten
    days, as measured from the date on which management of the
    corporation learns of such significant change or, alternatively,
    the date that the institution notifies its accrediting agency of
    such change. If the Department of Education were to determine
    that we failed to meet any of these application and other
    deadlines, our certification would expire and our students would
    not be eligible to receive Title&#160;IV program funds until the
    Department of Education completes its full review, which
    commonly takes several months and may take longer. If the
    Department of Education approves the application after a change
    in control, it would normally certify us on a provisional basis
    for a period of up to approximately three years. The precise
    conditions and duration of our provisional certification in this
    circumstance and what restrictions, if any, may be imposed, are
    difficult to predict because we have been certified on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">month-to-month</FONT>
    basis for an extended period and are subject to the ongoing
    investigation

    With respect to the Higher Learning Commission, if we anticipate
    that the number of shares over which the Richardson Voting Group
    holds voting power will fall below 25% at any time in the
    future, we would be required to obtain the approval of the
    Higher Learning Commission before such event occurs. However,
    because we may be unaware when such event occurs, we would seek
    the cooperation of the Higher Learning Commission to allow us to
    arrange an appropriate review procedure at that time since there
    may not be an opportunity to obtain the Higher Learning
    Commission&#146;s advance review and approval, as is typically
    required by its policies. Another policy of the Higher Learning
    Commission provides that an institution is obligated to provide
    notice of certain transactions, such as the transfer of stock by
    an investor, promptly after the institution becomes reasonably
    knowledgeable of such transaction. This policy suggests that, in
    certain circumstances, the Higher Learning Commission can adapt
    its procedures to allow an institution, like us, to provide
    notice and seek the necessary approval after the institution
    gains knowledge of an investor transaction such as the sale of
    shares by other parties to the voting agreement, but there can
    be no assurance that would be the case with respect to this
    offering or any such sales of stock that may occur following the
    completion of this offering. In such a circumstance, we cannot
    predict whether the Higher Learning Commission would impose any
    limitations or conditions on us, or identify any compliance
    issues related to us in the context of the change in control
    process, that could result in our loss of accreditation by the
    Higher Learning Commission. Any such loss would result in our
    loss of eligibility to participate in the Title&#160;IV programs
    and cause a significant decline in our student enrollments.

    Many states include the sale of a controlling interest of common
    stock in the definition of a change in control requiring
    approval, but their thresholds for determining a change in
    control vary widely. The standards of the Arizona State Board
    for Private Postsecondary Education provide that an institution
    that is owned by a publicly-traded company whose control is
    vested in the voting members of the board of directors, such as
    Grand Canyon Education, undergoes a change in control if 50% or
    more of the voting members of the board of directors change
    within a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">12-month</FONT>
    period or the chief executive officer of the corporation
    changes. A change in control under the definition of one of the
    other state agencies that regulate us might require us to obtain
    approval of the change in control in order to maintain our
    authorization to operate in that state, and in some cases such
    states could require us to obtain advance approval of the change
    in control.

    <I>Additional state regulation.</I>&#160;&#160;Most state
    education agencies impose regulatory requirements on educational
    institutions operating within their boundaries. Some states have
    sought to assert jurisdiction over
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">out-of-state</FONT>
    educational institutions offering online degree programs that
    have no physical location in the state but that have some
    activity in the state, such as enrolling or offering educational
    services to students who reside in the state, employing faculty
    who reside in the state, or advertising to or recruiting
    prospective students in the state. State regulatory requirements
    for online education vary among the states, are not well
    developed in many states, are imprecise or unclear in some
    states, and can change frequently. In addition to Arizona, we
    have determined that our activities in certain states constitute
    a presence requiring licensure or authorization under the
    requirements of the state education agency in those states, and
    in other states we have obtained approvals as we have determined
    necessary in connection with our marketing and recruiting
    activities. We review the licensure requirements of other states
    when appropriate to determine whether our activities in those
    states require licensure or authorization by the respective
    state education agencies. Because state regulatory requirements,
    including agency interpretations, can change frequently, and
    because we enroll students from all 50&#160;states and the
    District of Columbia, we expect we will have to seek licensure
    or authorization in additional states in the future. If we fail
    to comply with state licensing or authorization requirements for
    any state, we may be subject to the loss of state licensure or
    authorization by that state, or be subject to other sanctions,
    including restrictions on our activities in that state, fines,
    and penalties. While we do not believe that any of the states in
    which we are currently licensed or authorized, other than
    Arizona, are individually material to our operations, the loss
    of licensure or authorization in a state other than Arizona
    could prohibit us from recruiting prospective students or
    offering services to current students in that state, which could
    significantly reduce our enrollments.

    price of $3,500.00 per share, or approximately
    $13.4&#160;million in total gross proceeds, of which
    1,675&#160;shares were sold to the Endeavour Entities, and
    834&#160;shares were sold to an investment entity controlled by
    Brent D. Richardson, our Executive Chairman, and Christopher C.
    Richardson, our General Counsel and a director (which shares
    were paid for, in part, by the exchange of 865 outstanding
    shares of Series&#160;B preferred stock purchased in 2006). All
    outstanding shares of the Series&#160;C preferred stock were
    automatically converted into common stock in connection with our
    initial public offering.

    The Department of Education, the Higher Learning Commission, and
    other accrediting commissions and states require institutions of
    higher education to report or obtain approval of certain changes
    in control and changes in other aspects of institutional
    organization or control. Certain of our stockholders, including
    the Endeavor Entities, have entered into a proxy and voting
    agreement, pursuant to which such persons have granted to Brent
    D. Richardson, our Executive Chairman, and Christopher C.
    Richardson, our General Counsel and a director, on behalf of the
    Richardson Voting Group, a five-year irrevocable proxy to
    exercise voting authority with respect to certain shares of our
    common stock held by such persons, for so long as such shares
    are held by such persons. Upon the completion of our initial
    public offering, as a result of the proxy and voting agreement,
    the Richardson Voting Group had the power to exercise voting
    authority with respect to 19,516,242&#160;shares of our common
    stock, or 42.9% of our common stock at such time.

     Accordingly, the number of shares over which the Richardson
    Voting Group will continue to hold voting power will decrease
    over time as shares held by other parties to the voting
    agreement are sold, which sales we may be not be aware of since
    many of the shares held by such other parties are held in
    &#147;street name.&#148; After giving effect to this offering,
    and based on the number of shares expected to be sold by us and
    the selling stockholders participating in this offering, we
    believe that the Richardson Voting Group will continue to have
    the power to exercise voting authority with respect to more than
    25% of our common stock. See &#147;Regulation&#148; and

    We declared a special distribution that was paid promptly after
    the completion of our initial public offering in November 2008
    to our stockholders who owned shares of record immediately prior
    to the consummation of our initial public offering. The
    aggregate amount of the special distribution was equal to 75% of
    the gross proceeds from the sale of common stock in our initial
    public offering, including 75% of the gross proceeds received by
    us from the underwriters&#146; exercise of their over-allotment
    option. The aggregate amount of the special distribution was
    $108.7&#160;million, or approximately $3.27 per common share on
    an as if converted basis.

    The information in the following table and related footnotes has
    been presented in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Under
    SEC rules, beneficial ownership of a class of capital stock
    includes any shares of such class as to which a person, directly
    or indirectly, has or shares voting power or investment power
    and also any shares as to which a person has the right to
    acquire such voting or investment power within 60&#160;days
    through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other
    right. If two or more persons share voting power or investment
    power with respect to specific securities, each such person is
    deemed to be the beneficial owner of such securities. Except as
    we otherwise indicate below and under applicable community
    property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of the
    common stock listed below, based on information they have
    furnished to us, have sole voting and investment power with
    respect to the shares shown. Unless otherwise noted below, the

    granted to the Richardson Voting Group a five-year irrevocable
    proxy to exercise voting authority with respect to certain
    shares of our common stock held by such persons, for so long as
    such shares are held by such persons. Upon the completion of our
    initial public offering, as a result of the proxy and voting
    agreement, the Richardson Voting Group had the power to exercise
    voting authority with respect to 19,516,242&#160;shares of our
    common stock, or 42.9% of our common stock at such time. Under
    the terms of the voting agreement, if any person party to the

    <I>Blank Check Preferred Stock.</I>&#160;&#160;Our charter
    provides for 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock.
    The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred
    stock may enable our Board of Directors to render more difficult
    or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of
    a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise. For
    example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations,
    our Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover
    proposal is not in the best interests of us or our stockholders,
    our Board of Directors could cause shares of preferred stock to
    be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private
    offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or
    other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder
    or stockholder group. In this regard, our certificate of
    incorporation grants our Board of Directors broad power to
    establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued
    shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred
    stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available
    for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The
    issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers,
    including voting rights, of these holders and may have the

    These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a

    Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common
    stock in the open market after the distribution has been
    completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In
    determining the source of shares to close out the short
    position, the underwriters will consider, among other things,
    the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as
    compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through
    the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares
    than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked
    short position, the position can only be closed out by buying
    shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely
    to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could
    be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open
    market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who
    purchase in the offering.
