to furnish proxy materials to its stockholders on the Internet, in lieu of mailing a printed copy of proxy materials to each stockholder of record. You will not receive a printed copy of proxy materials unless you request a printed copy. The Notice,
which was first mailed to our stockholders on or about May&nbsp;1, 2018, instructs you as to how you may access and review on the Internet all of the important information contained in the proxy materials. The Notice also instructs you as to how you
may vote your proxy. If you received a Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of the Company&#146;s proxy materials and annual report, you must follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice.
Alternatively, you may download or print these materials, or any portion thereof, from any computer with Internet access and a printer. The Company believes this process provides its stockholders the information they need in a more timely manner,

specifies a stockholder&#146;s choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with that specification. If no choice is indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted in favor of the proposal. You may
revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by submitting to our Secretary a written notice of revocation, submitting a properly executed proxy bearing a later date, voting by telephone or via the Internet at a later time (if initially able
to vote in that manner) so long as such vote or voting direction is received by the applicable date and time set forth above for stockholders of record, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. If you hold your shares through a bank,
broker, trustee or nominee and you have instructed the bank, broker, trustee or nominee to vote your shares, you must follow the directions received from your bank, broker, trustee or nominee to change those instructions. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="tx518835_11"></A>Corporate Governance Philosophy </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The business affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors in accordance with the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as implemented by the Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The role of the Board of Directors is to effectively govern the affairs of the Company for the benefit of its stockholders and other constituencies. The
Board of Directors strives to ensure the success and continuity of business of the Company through the selection of qualified management. It is also responsible for ensuring that the Company&#146;s activities are conducted in a responsible and
ethical manner. The Company is committed to having sound corporate governance principles. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="tx518835_12"></A>Board of Directors Meetings and
Attendance </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During our 2017 fiscal year, our Board of Directors held nine meetings and each of our directors attended 100% of such
meetings. We do not have a formal policy regarding attendance of our directors at annual meetings of our stockholders, but we do encourage each of our directors to attend. All of our directors attended our 2017 annual meeting in person or
telephonically. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="tx518835_13"></A>Director Independence </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Board of Directors periodically reviews the independence of each director. During these reviews, our Board of Directors considers
transactions and relationships between each director (and his or her immediate family and affiliates) and the Company and management to determine whether any such transactions or relationships are inconsistent with a determination that the director
was independent. Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each director other than Brian E. Mueller, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer, is &#147;independent,&#148; as defined by the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock
Market. Under the Marketplace Rules, a director can be independent only if the director does not trigger a categorical bar to independence and our Board of Directors affirmatively determines that the director does not have a relationship which, in
the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment by the director in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="tx518835_14"></A>Board Leadership Structure </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:14pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s governance framework provides the Board with flexibility to select the appropriate Board leadership structure for the
Company. In making leadership structure determinations, the Board considers many factors, including the specific needs of the business and what is in the best interests of the Company&#146;s stockholders. Having the flexibility to select the
appropriate structure based on the specific needs of the business is critical, and it is part of the judgment the Board believes it should exercise. The Board understands that Board leadership structure is an important topic for many stockholders,
and the Board takes stockholder feedback into account when making determinations around Board leadership structure. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Board leadership
structure comprises a &#147;combined&#148; Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, a lead independent director, Board committees led entirely by independent directors and active engagement by all directors. In selecting Mr.&nbsp;Mueller
to serve as Chairman, the Board determined that having Mr.&nbsp;Mueller serve in the combined role provides certain synergies and efficiencies that can serve to enhance the functioning of the Board and serve the business and stockholders well over
time. The Company operates in a complex business and regulatory environment, which requires a chief executive officer with deep knowledge of the business and the industry within which we operate. Because the Chief Executive Officer is the Board
member closest to our complex business, he is best able to identify many of the business issues that need to be on the Board agenda, and, as Chairman of the Board, he can focus directors&#146; attention on the most critical business matters.
Further, the Board believes that, at this time, a combined Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer will facilitate timely and unfiltered communication with the Board on critical business and regulatory issues. The Board also believes that
there are benefits in having the same person represent both the Company and the Board with regulators, stockholders and other stakeholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:14pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Importantly, all of our directors play an active role in overseeing the Company&#146;s business both at the Board and committee levels. At
least twice per year as part of regularly scheduled Board meetings, the independent directors meet in executive session without the Chief Executive Officer present. These sessions allow our independent directors to discuss issues of importance to
the Company, including the business and affairs of the Company as well as matters concerning management, without any member of management present. </P>

laws. Our Audit Committee met five times during 2017. Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for, among other things, the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm. The oversight
includes reviewing the plans and results of the audit engagement with the firm, approving any additional professional services provided by the firm and reviewing the independence of the firm. The Audit Committee is also responsible for discussing
the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting with the firm and relevant financial management. Our Board of Directors determined that each of Messrs. Henry, Warren and Johnson qualified as an &#147;audit committee financial

qualified. Pursuant to an amendment to our bylaws adopted during 2014, at any meeting of stockholders for the election of one or more directors at which a quorum is present, each director shall be elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast
with respect to the director, provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the election.
For purposes of the foregoing, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast &#147;for&#148; a director exceeds the number of votes cast &#147;against&#148; that director. Under our corporate governance principles and practices,
the Board shall nominate for election or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-election</FONT> as director only candidates who agree to execute, in connection with their nomination, irrevocable resignations that will be effective upon (1)&nbsp;the
failure to receive a majority vote in an uncontested election at an annual meeting and (2)&nbsp;the Board&#146;s acceptance of such resignation within ninety (90)&nbsp;days following certification of the stockholder vote. If a director then serving
on the Board of Directors does not receive the required majority vote, the director shall tender his or her resignation to the Board. Within ninety (90)&nbsp;days after the date of the certification of the election results, the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee or other committee that may be designated by the Board will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken, taking into account such factors
as it deems relevant. Such factors may include the stated reasons why stockholders voted against such director&#146;s reelection, the qualifications of the director and whether accepting the resignation would cause us to fail to meet any applicable
listing standards or would violate state law. Within such ninety (90)&nbsp;day period, the Board will act on the committee&#146;s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with its initial public offering in 2008, the Company adopted an insider trading policy that includes restrictions and
limitations on the ability of the Company&#146;s directors, officers and other employees to engage in transactions involving the hedging and pledging of Company stock. Under the policy, hedging or monetization transactions, such as <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">zero-cost</FONT> collars and forward sale contracts, which allow an employee to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the
stock, and thus to continue to own Company stock without the full risks and rewards of ownership, are prohibited. In addition, the policy addresses the practices of holding Company stock in a margin account, under which the securities may be sold by
the broker without the customer&#146;s consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call, and of pledging Company stock as collateral for a loan, in which event the securities may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan.
Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company securities, directors, officers and other employees of the Company are
prohibited from holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan. An exception to this prohibition may be granted where a person wishes to pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan (not
including margin debt) and clearly demonstrates the financial capacity to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities. Any person wishing to enter into such an arrangement must first receive
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-approval</FONT> for the proposed transaction from the Company&#146;s compliance officer in accordance with the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-approval</FONT> procedures set forth in the policy. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:14pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Effective January&nbsp;26, 2017, the Board of Directors adopted an Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy that authorizes the Company to
recover incentive compensation previously paid to its Section&nbsp;16 officers. The policy provides that, in the event of a restatement of the Company&#146;s financial statements for any fiscal year commencing after December&nbsp;31, 2015 that is
due to the misconduct of any employee, the Board or, if so designated by the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board, is authorized to take action to recoup all or part of any incentive compensation received by a Section&nbsp;16 officer of
the Company. For purposes of this policy, incentive compensation means any cash compensation paid by or any equity compensation awarded by the Company that is based in whole or in part on the achievement of financial results by the Company,
including, but not limited to, any bonus or other performance-based cash or equity arrangement or award, but excluding base salary. The policy defines misconduct as the willful commission of an illegal act, fraud, intentional misconduct or gross
recklessness in the performance of a Section&nbsp;16 officer&#146;s duties and responsibilities, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. In determining whether to take action to recoup any incentive compensation received by a
Section&nbsp;16 officer of the Company, the Board or, if so designated, the Compensation Committee of the Board, will take into consideration whether the Section&nbsp;16 officer engaged in the misconduct or was in a position, including in a
supervisory role, to have been able to have reasonably prevented the misconduct that caused the restatement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As directed by the
Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC has issued proposed rules which, if adopted in final form, would require issuers to seek recovery from executive officers in certain circumstances involving financial restatements. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the
SEC has not issued final rules implementing this portion of the Dodd-Frank Act. Once the SEC issues final rules regarding the required form of a clawback policy under the Dodd-Frank Act, we expect to amend our Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy
accordingly. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="tx518835_25"></A>Compensation of Directors </B></P>

motivate, retain, and reward our executive officers by relating compensation to performance and making our compensation package competitive and cost-effective.&nbsp;We pay our executive officers based on business performance and individual
performance, and, in setting compensation levels, we take into consideration our past practices, our current and anticipated future needs, and the relative skills and experience of each individual executive officer.&nbsp;The <I>Compensation
Discussion and Analysis</I> section of this proxy statement provides a more detailed discussion of our executive compensation program.&nbsp;We believe that the compensation program we follow helps us achieve our principal compensation objectives.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The vote solicited by this Proposal No.&nbsp;2 is advisory, and therefore is not binding on us, our Board of Directors or our
Compensation Committee, nor will its outcome require us, our Board of Directors or our Compensation Committee to take any action. Moreover, the outcome of the vote will not be construed as overruling any decision by us or our Board of Directors.
Furthermore, because this <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-binding,</FONT> advisory vote primarily relates to the compensation of our named executive officers that we have already paid or are otherwise contractually committed to pay, there is
generally no opportunity for us to revisit these decisions. However, our Board of Directors, including our Compensation Committee, values the opinions of our stockholders and, to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive
officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our stockholders&#146; concerns and evaluate what actions, if any, may be appropriate for us to take in the future to address those concerns. In 2017, our <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Say-on-Pay</FONT></FONT> proposal received the support of 95.0% of the shares voted, which we believe indicates strong support for our compensation program and practices. Nevertheless, we
will continue to solicit feedback, engage with our investors, and evaluate the effectiveness of our pay practices in aligning management and stockholder interests. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Stockholders will be asked at the Annual Meeting to approve the following resolution pursuant to this Proposal No.&nbsp;2: </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a comprehensive regionally accredited university that offers over 225 graduate and undergraduate degree programs, emphases and
certificates across nine colleges both online and on ground at our over 275 acre campus in Phoenix, Arizona, at leased facilities and at facilities owned by third party employers of our students. We are committed to providing an academically
rigorous educational experience with a focus on professionally relevant programs that meet the objectives of our students. Our undergraduate programs are designed to be innovative and meet the future needs of employers, while providing students with
the needed critical thinking and effective communication skills developed through a Christian-oriented, liberal arts foundation. We offer master&#146;s and doctoral degrees in contemporary fields that are designed to provide students with the
capacity for transformational leadership in their chosen industry, emphasizing the immediate relevance of theory, application, and evaluation to promote personal and organizational change. We believe the growing brand of the University and the value
proposition for both traditional aged students attending on our campus in Phoenix, Arizona and working adult students attending on our campus or at <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">off-site</FONT> locations in cohorts (referred to by us as
professional studies students) or online, has enabled us to increase enrollment to approximately 90,300 students at December&nbsp;31, 2017. At December&nbsp;31, 2017, 79.1% of our students were enrolled in our online programs, and, of our working
adult students (online and professional studies students), 50.5% were pursuing master&#146;s or doctoral degrees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We define working
adults as students age 25 or older who are pursuing a degree while employed. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017, 86.1% of our online and professional studies students were age 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, particularly those who have some college experience, represent an
attractive student population because they are better able to more readily recognize the benefits of a post-secondary degree, have higher persistence and completion rates than other students, and to finance their education generally. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2017, we continued to increase the number of students in attendance at our expanding traditional ground campus. We attribute the
significant growth in our enrollment to our increasing brand recognition and the value proposition that our ground traditional campus affords to traditional-aged students and their parents. After scholarships, our ground traditional students pay for
tuition, room, board, and fees, often half to a third of what it costs to attend a private, traditional university in another state and an amount comparable to what it costs to attend a public university. We plan to continue increasing enrollment
growth for our traditional campus over the next few years, and seek to have more than 20,500 ground students in attendance at the beginning of our 2018-2019 academic year. In November 2012, we accepted an invitation to become a member of the
Division I Western Athletic Conference beginning with the 2013-2014 academic year, and in 2013 we began the four-year process to reclassify our NCAA membership from Division II to Division I. In July 2017, the University successfully completed all
&#147;year four&#148; requirements and is now a full member of Division I Western Athletic Conference and is eligible for post-season play. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We continue to experience growth in enrollment, net revenue, and operating income. Our enrollment at December&nbsp;31, 2017 was approximately
90,300, representing an increase of approximately 10.2% over our enrollment at December&nbsp;31, 2016. We seek to achieve continued growth in a manner that reinforces our reputation for providing academically rigorous, professionally relevant
educational programs that advance the educations and careers of our students. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>2017 Financial Results</I>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our senior

provide any perquisites to our named executive officers. We generally determine the nature and amount of each element of compensation as follows: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

individual executive&#146;s past experience, future potential, knowledge, scope of anticipated responsibilities, skills, expertise, and potential to add value through performance, as well as competitive industry salary practices. Although minimum
base salaries for each of our current named executive officers are set by their respective employment agreements, as described below, we review executive officer salaries annually and may increase them based on an evaluation of the Company&#146;s
performance for the year and the performance of the functional areas under a named executive officer&#146;s scope of responsibility. We also consider qualitative criteria, such as education and experience requirements, complexity, and scope or
impact of the position compared to other executive positions internally. </TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Annual Cash Incentive Plan, the actual bonus that a named executive officer could
earn for a given fiscal year ranges from 0% to a maximum of 150% of his or her annual target bonus. To illustrate how the plan functions, assume that a named executive officer&#146;s base salary for 2017 is $300,000 and that the target bonus is 50%
of base salary. Of this target bonus of $150,000, $75,000 (or 50%) would be paid based upon the Company&#146;s achievement of the revenue target and $75,000 (or 50%) would be paid based on the Company&#146;s achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA
target. If the revenue target is achieved at the threshold level (so only 50% of the revenue component is payable at that level) and the Adjusted EBITDA target is achieved at the target level (so that 100% of the Adjusted EBITDA component is payable
at that level) the participant would be entitled to a potential bonus of $112,500, calculated as $37,500 (50% of the revenue component) plus $75,000 (100% of the Adjusted EBITDA component). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The plan for eligible senior management other than the named executive officers differs in that it continues to include achievement of
individual performance targets as a primary element of the bonus calculation, such that achievement of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets each account for 30% of target bonus and the achievement of individual performance targets accounts for 40% of
target bonus.&nbsp;In addition, for eligible senior management other than the named executive officers, the bonus is calculated based on two <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">six-month</FONT> cycles, such that the determination of the bonus payable
for each half of the applicable year is determined on the basis of the achievement of the revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and individual performance targets established for each such period. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Changes to performance goals and target awards</I>. In accordance with the terms of the Annual Cash Incentive Plan, at any time prior to
the final determination of bonuses earned, the Compensation Committee may adjust the performance goals and target awards to reflect a change in corporate capitalization (such as a stock split or stock dividend), or a corporate transaction (such as a
merger, consolidation, separation, reorganization or partial or complete liquidation), or to reflect equitably the occurrence of any extraordinary event, any change in applicable accounting rules or principles, any change in the Company&#146;s
method of accounting, any change in applicable law, or any other change of a similar nature. In addition, under the Annual Cash Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may reduce (but not increase) the bonus amount for each named executive
officer based on the committee&#146;s determination of the participant&#146;s achievement of personal and other performance goals established by the Compensation Committee and other factors as the committee determines. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>2017 financial goals.</I> The following table shows the company-wide financial goals established for the named executive officers for 2017.
These financial goals were selected based upon a combination of the Company&#146;s internal budget and analyst estimates, which the Board of Directors believes establishes an appropriate level at which to set goals in order to maximize the incentive
for superior performance. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Mr.&nbsp;Roberts, one individual performance goal was to manage their individual departments within budget. The individual performance goals for Mr.&nbsp;Mueller, Dr.&nbsp;Meyer, and Mr.&nbsp;Bachus included continuing to work on initiatives to
increase the percentage of students studying in high retention rate programs, expanding public good projects in our surrounding neighborhoods and developing campus infrastructure. The individual performance goals for Mr.&nbsp;Mueller, Dr.&nbsp;Meyer
and Mr.&nbsp;Bachus also included participation in a specified number of investor conferences and/or investor meetings. Mr.&nbsp;Mueller&#146;s individual performance goals included continuing to develop economic drivers to enhance the surrounding
community and serve the public good. Dr.&nbsp;Meyer&#146;s individual performance goals included demonstrating leadership over key functional areas such as marketing, online operations and campus operations. Mr.&nbsp;Bachus&#146; individual
performance goals included managing the financial and reporting functions to ensure that no material weaknesses occurred within the Company&#146;s financial reporting structure. Mr.&nbsp;Mildenhall&#146;s individual performance goals included
improving and building additional software engineering capabilities to address key needs in student scheduling, demonstration of improvement in application availability, managing the learning management system and overseeing the relationship with
CampusVue and LoudCloud to ensure continued improvements are made to the product to eliminate manual processes. Mr.&nbsp;Roberts&#146; individual performance goals included Company compliance with regulatory and Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and regulations and timely resolution to litigation matters. Mr.&nbsp;Roberts&#146;s individual performance goals also included demonstrating leadership over key functional areas such as legal, real estate and government relations. Based on
each individual named executive officer&#146;s achievement or substantial achievement of their individual performance goals, and in light of the superior financial performance achieved by the Company in 2017, the Compensation Committee determined
that cash bonuses under the Annual Cash Incentive Plan should be paid out at the maximum level achieved as a result of the achievement of the company-wide financial goals, and that no reductions were otherwise merited. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prior to January&nbsp;1, 2018, Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (&#147;Section&nbsp;162(m)&#148;) generally placed a limit of
$1.0&nbsp;million on the amount of compensation that we may deduct in any calendar year with respect to our Chief Executive Officer and each of our three most highly paid executive officers (excluding our Chief Financial Officer). However, an
exception to the $1.0&nbsp;million limitation was provided for commission-based and performance-based compensation meeting certain requirements. Pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was signed into law on December&nbsp;22, 2017 (the
&#147;Tax Act&#148;), for taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017, the remuneration of a publicly-traded corporation&#146;s chief financial officer is also subject to the deduction limit. In addition, subject to certain transition rules
(which apply to remuneration provided pursuant to written binding contracts which were in effect on November&nbsp;2, 2017 and which are not subsequently modified in any material respect), for taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017, the
exemptions from the deduction limit for commission-based and performance-based compensation are no longer available. Consequently, for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017, all remuneration in excess of $1.0&nbsp;million paid to a
specified executive generally will not be deductible. Our Compensation Committee reserves the discretion, in its judgment, to approve compensation payments that may not be deductible as a result of the deduction limit of Section&nbsp;162(m) when it
believes that such payments are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent and are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:5%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;409A of the Code (&#147;Section&nbsp;409A&#148;) requires that &#147;nonqualified deferred compensation&#148; be deferred and paid
under plans or arrangements that satisfy the requirements of the statute with respect to the timing of deferral elections, timing of payments and certain other matters. Failure to satisfy these requirements can expose employees and other service
providers to accelerated income tax liabilities and penalty taxes and interest on their vested compensation under such plans. Accordingly, as a general matter, it is our intention to design and administer our compensation and benefits plans and
arrangements for all of our employees and other service providers, including our named executive officers, so that they are either exempt from, or satisfy the requirements of, Section&nbsp;409A. With respect to our compensation and benefit plans
that are subject to Section&nbsp;409A, in accordance with Section&nbsp;409A and regulatory guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service, we believe we are currently operating such plans in compliance with Section&nbsp;409A. </P>

The Compensation Committee considers the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, including in connection with decisions that relate to our equity award programs. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs

and regulations limit the amount of time a student-employee can work for us and most do not work during the summer and holiday breaks. At December&nbsp;31, 2017, we employed 1,378 adjunct faculty, representing 15.1% of our total employees. These are
faculty instructors that are paid for course instruction on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">course-by-course</FONT></FONT> basis and therefore often take breaks between courses. Pursuant to Item 402(u) of
Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K,</FONT> we are required to include our student- employees and adjunct faculty in our employee population when determining our median employee for purposes of the Pay Ratio Disclosure. If student
employees and adjunct only employees were excluded from consideration in the Pay Ratio Disclosure, the annual total compensation of our median employee for 2017 would have been $44,373 for 2017. As a result, the ratio of the compensation of the
Chief Executive Officer to the median annual total compensation of all other employees (excluding student employees and adjunct faculty) would have been approximately 63.1 to 1. </P>

to ascertain the view of our stockholders. In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the selection of KPMG, the adverse vote will be considered a direction to the Audit Committee to consider other auditors for next year. However, because of the
difficulty in making any substitution so long after the beginning of the current year, the appointment of KPMG for fiscal 2018 will stand, unless the Audit Committee finds other good reason for making a change.&nbsp;Even if the selection is
ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the Company&#146;s
and its stockholders&#146; best interests. Proxies solicited by our Board of Directors will, unless otherwise directed, be voted to ratify the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending

appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party&#146;s interest in the transaction. Under
