Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On March 25, 2013, the Company received draft Cohort Default Rates from the federal Department of Education (“ED”) for students of the Company’s institutions who entered repayment during the federal fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 (the “2010 Cohort”), measured over three federal fiscal years of borrower repayment. (This is a new measurement period.  Previously, defaults were calculated over a two-year repayment period.) The weighted average of the Company’s institutions was 19.0%, a 9.2 percentage point decrease from the 28.2% weighted average for the three-year measurement of the 2009 Cohort. For the 2010 Cohort, none of our institutions exceeded the 30% default threshold.

 

The Company’s institutions also continue to be measured under the prior two-year measurement period through the cohort of students who entered repayment during the federal fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 (the “2011 Cohort”).  However, since none of the Company’s institutions exceeded the applicable 25% default threshold for the 2010 Cohort or the 2011 Cohort (the draft results of which the Company received in February 2013), the Company will no longer report on these two-year repayment results.

 

If any of our institutions, depending on its size, were to lose eligibility to participate in federal student financial aid programs because of high student loan default rates, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Preliminary 2010 Cohort Default Rates by OPEID (under the three-year measurement method):

Certain statements in this Report on Form 8-K may be deemed to be forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that all such statements be subject to the “safe-harbor” provisions of that Act. Such statements include, but are not limited to, those pertaining to the Company’s expectation that its institutions will be able to comply with the limitations on cohort default rates. Many factors may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any such forward-looking statements, including risks associated with the uncertain effectiveness of the Company’s default prevention efforts; possible changes in general macroeconomic and market conditions (including unemployment); and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of the Company’s institutions, depending on its size, were to lose eligibility to participate in federal student financial aid programs because of high student cohort default rates, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. The historical results achieved are not necessarily indicative of future prospects. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
