<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 3%">On July&nbsp;5, 2011, Grand Canyon Education,&nbsp;Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that,
effective July&nbsp;1, 2011, Gerald J. Colangelo had resigned from his positions as a member of the Board of Directors of
the Company and as a member of the Board&#146;s Audit Committee in order to focus his attention on his various interests in
the sports and hospitality industries, as well as to take a more active role in promoting Grand Canyon University in
Arizona and nationally.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 3%">On July&nbsp;21, 2011,&nbsp;the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (&#147;Nasdaq&#148;) indicating that it no
longer complies with the Nasdaq audit committee requirement for continued listing as set forth in Listing Rule
5605(c)(2)(A), which requires a listed company to have an audit committee composed of at least three independent
directors. As a result of Mr.&nbsp;Colangelo&#146;s resignation, the Company&#146;s Audit Committee consists of only two members
meeting the independence criteria and having the qualifications set forth in the Listing Rules. Consistent with
Listing Rule&nbsp;5605(c)(4), Nasdaq will provide the Company with a cure period in order to regain compliance with the
audit committee requirement. The cure period will extend until the earlier of the Company&#146;s next annual shareholders&#146;
meeting or July&nbsp;1, 2012, provided that if the Company&#146;s next annual shareholders&#146; meeting is held before December&nbsp;28,
2011, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than December&nbsp;28, 2011.&nbsp;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 3%">The Company intends to comply with Nasdaq&#146;s audit committee requirement within the cure period provided by Nasdaq.
The nominating and corporate governance committee of the Company&#146;s board is currently evaluating potential candidates
for appointment to the Board of Directors and to fill the vacancy on its Audit Committee. Any appointments to the
Company&#146;s board and other committee assignments will be announced in a subsequent filing.
