 A significant portion of the University&amp;#x2019;s revenue is received
 from federal and state governments on behalf of students who
 participate in government financial aid and assistance programs.
 Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments primarily
 represent amounts received from the federal and state governments
 under various student aid grant and loan programs, such as Title
 IV. The University receives these funds subsequent to the
 completion of the authorization and disbursement process and holds
 them for the benefit of the student. The U.S. Department of
 Education (&amp;#x201C;Department of Education&amp;#x201D;) requires Title IV
 funds collected in advance of student billings to be restricted
 until the course begins. The University records all of these
 amounts as a current asset in restricted cash, cash equivalents and
 investments. The majority of these funds remains as restricted for
 an average of 60 to 90 days from the date of receipt.&lt;/p&gt;

 The University accrues for contingent obligations when it is
 probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is
 reasonably estimable. When the University becomes aware of a claim
 or potential claim, the likelihood of any loss exposure is
 assessed. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount
 of the loss is reasonably estimable, the University records a
 liability for the estimated loss. If the loss is not probable or
 the amount of the potential loss is not reasonably estimable, the
 University will disclose the claim if the likelihood of a potential
 loss is reasonably possible and the amount of the potential loss
 could be material. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to
 future changes include tax, legal, and other regulatory matters,
 which are subject to change as events evolve, and as additional
 information becomes available during the administrative and
 litigation process. The University expenses legal fees as
 incurred.&lt;/p&gt;

 During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the University
 granted 264 shares of common stock with a service vesting condition
 to certain of its executives, officers, faculty and
 employees.&amp;#xA0;The restricted shares have voting rights and vest
 in five annual installments of 20%, with this first installment
 vesting in March of the calendar year following the date of grant
 (the &amp;#x201C;first vesting date&amp;#x201D;) and on each of the four
 anniversaries of the first vesting date.&amp;#xA0;Upon vesting, shares
 will be held in lieu of taxes equivalent to the minimum statutory
 tax withholding required to be paid when the restricted stock
 vests.&amp;#xA0;During the nine months ended September&amp;#xA0;30, 2016,
 the University withheld 113 shares of common stock in lieu of taxes
 at a cost of $4,642 on the restricted stock vesting dates.&amp;#xA0;In
 June 2016, the University granted 11 shares of common stock to
 certain of the non-employee members of the University&amp;#x2019;s board
 of directors.&amp;#xA0;The restricted shares granted to these directors
 have voting rights and vest on the earlier of (a) the one year
 anniversary of the date of grant or (b) immediately prior to the
 following year&amp;#x2019;s annual stockholders&amp;#x2019; meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet
 as assets or liabilities and re-measured at fair value at each
 reporting date.&amp;#xA0;For derivatives designated as cash flow
 hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative
 is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and
 reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during
 which the hedged transaction affects earnings.&amp;#xA0;Gains and
 losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness
 or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness
 are recognized in current earnings.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 Derivative financial instruments enable the University to manage
 its exposure to interest rate risk.&amp;#xA0;The University does not
 engage in any derivative instrument trading activity.&amp;#xA0;Credit
 risk associated with the University&amp;#x2019;s derivatives is limited
 to the risk that a derivative counterparty will not perform in
 accordance with the terms of the contract.&amp;#xA0;Exposure to
 counterparty credit risk is considered low because these agreements
 have been entered into with institutions with strong credit
 ratings, and they are expected to perform fully under the terms of
 the agreements.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 On February 27, 2013, the University entered into an interest rate
 corridor to manage its 30 Day LIBOR interest exposure related to
 its variable rate debt. The fair value of the interest rate
 corridor instrument as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015
 was $205 and $728, respectively, which is included in other assets.
 The fair value of the derivative instrument was determined using a
 hypothetical derivative transaction and Level 2 of the hierarchy of
 valuation inputs. This derivative instrument was originally
 designated as a cash flow hedge of variable rate debt obligations.
 The adjustment of $531 and $699 for the nine months ended September
 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the effective portion of the
 loss on the derivatives is included as a component of other
 comprehensive income, net of taxes.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The interest rate corridor instrument reduces variable interest
 rate risk starting March 1, 2013 through December 20, 2019 with a
 notional amount of $75,000 as of September 30, 2016. The corridor
 instrument&amp;#x2019;s terms permits the University to hedge its
 interest rate risk at several thresholds; the University pays
 variable interest monthly based on the 30 Day LIBOR rates until
 that index reaches 1.5%. If 30 Day LIBOR is equal to 1.5% through
 3.0%, the University pays 1.5%. If 30 Day LIBOR exceeds 3.0%, the
 University pays actual 30 Day LIBOR less 1.5%.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 As of September 30, 2016, no derivative ineffectiveness was
 identified. Any ineffectiveness in the University&amp;#x2019;s
 derivative instrument designated as a hedge is reported in interest
 expense in the income statement. For the nine months ended
 September&amp;#xA0;30, 2016, $8 of credit risk was recorded as a
 reduction in interest expense for the interest rate corridor. At
 September 30, 2016, the University does not expect to reclassify
 gains or losses on derivative instruments from accumulated other
 comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next 12
 months.&lt;/p&gt;

 From time to time, the University is a party to various lawsuits,
 claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary
 course of business, some of which are covered by insurance. When
 the University is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses
 the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a
 loss will result and the amount of the loss is reasonably
 estimable, the University records a liability for the loss. If the
 loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not reasonably
 estimable, the University discloses the nature of the specific
 claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible
 and the amount involved could be material. With respect to the
 majority of pending litigation matters, the University&amp;#x2019;s
 ultimate legal and financial responsibility, if any, cannot be
 estimated with certainty and, in most cases, any potential losses
 related to those matters are not considered probable.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 Upon resolution of any pending legal matters, the University may
 incur charges in excess of presently established reserves.
 Management does not believe that any such charges would,
 individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on
 the University&amp;#x2019;s financial condition, results of operations
 or cash flows.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tax Reserves, Non-Income Tax Related&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 From time to time the University has exposure to various non-income
 tax related matters that arise in the ordinary course of business.
 The University reserve is not material for tax matters where its
 ultimate exposure is considered probable and the potential loss can
 be reasonably estimated.&lt;/p&gt;

 Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net
 income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
 number of common shares outstanding for the period.&amp;#xA0;Diluted
 earnings per common share reflects the assumed conversion of all
 potentially dilutive securities, consisting of stock options and
 restricted stock awards, for which the estimated fair value exceeds
 the exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased
 with the related proceeds, unless anti-dilutive.&amp;#xA0;For employee
 equity awards, repurchased shares are also included for any
 unearned compensation adjusted for tax.&amp;#xA0;The table below
 reflects the calculation of the weighted average number of common
 shares outstanding, on an as if converted basis, used in computing
 basic and diluted earnings per common share.&lt;/p&gt;

 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude the incremental
 effect of shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of
 stock options and vesting of restricted stock. For the nine months
 ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, approximately 458 and 373,
 respectively, of the University&amp;#x2019;s stock options outstanding
 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as
 their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.&amp;#xA0;These options
 and restricted stock awards could be dilutive in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

 The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, investments,
 accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued compensation and
 benefits and accrued liabilities expenses approximate their fair
 value based on the liquidity or the short-term maturities of these
 instruments.&amp;#xA0;The carrying value of notes payable approximates
 fair value as it is based on variable rate index.&amp;#xA0;The carrying
 value of capital lease obligations approximate fair value based
 upon market interest rates available to the University for debt of
 similar risk and maturities.&amp;#xA0;Derivative financial instruments
 are carried at fair value, determined using Level 2 of the
 hierarchy of valuation inputs, with the use of inputs other than
 quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.&lt;/p&gt;

 The fair value of investments, primarily municipal securities,
 including municipal bond portfolios and a mutual fund holding
 municipal securities, were determined using Level 1 and Level 2 of
 the hierarchy of valuation inputs, with the use of quoted market
 prices and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
 the assets. The unit of account used for valuation is the
 individual underlying security. The municipal securities are
 comprised of city and county bonds related to schools, water and
 sewer, utilities, transportation, healthcare and housing. Because
 these securities are held by the University as investments,
 assessment of non-performance risk is not applicable as such
 considerations are only applicable in evaluating the fair value
 measurements for liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;

 In July 2016, the University notified a current landlord of its
 intent to vacate leased space by the end of the fourth quarter of
 2016. As part of that notification, the University was required to
 pay a termination fee to its landlord of $3,363 which was recorded
 as an expense in the third quarter of 2016. The new lease
 termination date is in July 2017. At the date the University
 vacates the space, it will expense the remaining amounts due under
 the lease net of remaining deferred rent. We estimate this amount
 to be $300.&lt;/p&gt;

 The University evaluates the recoverability of our long-lived
 assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
 indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
 recoverable.&amp;#xA0;Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
 measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
 undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the
 assets.&amp;#xA0;If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
 impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
 carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
 assets.&lt;/p&gt;

 In May 2014, the FASB issued &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Revenue from Contracts with
 Customers&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The standard is a comprehensive new revenue
 recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a
 manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at
 an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received
 in exchange for those goods or services. The accounting guidance
 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount,
 timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
 customer contracts, including significant judgements and changes in
 judgements and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or
 fulfill a contract. After the FASB amended the standard in July
 2015, the standard is effective for us on January 1, 2018 using
 either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach
 and early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2017. The FASB
 has also issued the following standards which clarify this standard
 and have the same effective dates: &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Revenue from Contracts
 with Customers: Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting
 Revenue Gross versus Net&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#x201D;; and &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Revenue from
 Contracts with Customers; Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical
 Expedients&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The University is currently evaluating which
 transition approach to use and the impact that the new revenue
 recognition standards will have on our consolidated financial
 statements.&lt;/p&gt;

 In February 2016, the FASB issued &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Leases&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The
 standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on
 the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12
 month. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim
 periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and
 early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective
 for us on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach.
 We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have
 on our consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 In March 2016, the FASB issued &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Compensation &amp;#x2013; Stock
 Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment
 Accounting&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The standard is intended to simplify several
 areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements,
 including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of
 cash flows and forfeitures. While aimed at reducing the cost and
 complexity of the accounting for share-based payments, the
 amendments are expected to significantly impact net income,
 earnings per share and the statement of cash flows as discussed
 further in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. This standard is effective for
 fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning
 after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted.
 Accordingly, the University will adopt this update as of January 1,
 2017 using the prospective method.&lt;/p&gt;

 In June 2016, the FASB issued &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Financial Instruments
 &amp;#x2013; Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
 Instruments&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#x201D;.&amp;#xA0;The new guidance revises the
 accounting requirements related to the measurement of credit losses
 on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are
 recorded.&amp;#xA0;The standard is effective for fiscal years, and
 interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15,
 2019.&amp;#xA0;Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years and interim
 periods within those years, beginning after December 15,
 2018.&amp;#xA0;Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January
 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach, and we are
 currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our
 consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 The University has determined that no other recent accounting
 pronouncements apply to its operations or could otherwise have a
 material impact on its financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 The University records an allowance for doubtful accounts for
 estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure or refusal
 of its students to make required payments, which includes the
 recovery of financial aid funds advanced to a student for amounts
 in excess of the student&amp;#x2019;s cost of tuition and related fees.
 The University determines the adequacy of its allowance for
 doubtful accounts based on an analysis of its historical bad debt
 experience, current economic trends, the aging of the accounts
 receivable and student status. The University applies reserves to
 its receivables based upon an estimate of the risk presented by the
 age of the receivables and student status. The University writes
 off accounts receivable balances at the earlier of the time the
 balances are deemed uncollectible, or one year after the revenue is
 generated. The University accelerates the write off of inactive
 student accounts such that the accounts are written off by day 150.
 The University reflects accounts receivable with an offsetting
 allowance as long as management believes there is a reasonable
 possibility of collection. Bad debt expense is recorded as an
 instructional costs and services expense in the consolidated income
 statement.&lt;/p&gt;

 up to $175,000 in aggregate of common stock, from time to time,
 depending on market conditions and other considerations.&amp;#xA0;The
 current expiration date on the repurchase authorization is December

 discretion.&amp;#xA0;Repurchases may be made in the open market or in
 privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to the applicable
 Securities and Exchange Commission rules.&amp;#xA0;The amount and
 timing of future share repurchases, if any, will be made as market

 The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
 statements of the University have been prepared in accordance with
 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and pursuant to the
 rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange
 Commission and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10,
 consistent in all material respects with those applied in its
 financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
 the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.&amp;#xA0;They do not include
 all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally
 accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
 Such interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all
 adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for the
 fair presentation of the interim periods presented.&amp;#xA0;Interim
 results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
 year.&amp;#xA0;These consolidated financial statements should be read
 in conjunction with the University&amp;#x2019;s audited financial
 statements and footnotes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
 for the fiscal year ended December&amp;#xA0;31, 2015 from which the
 December 31, 2015 balance sheet information was derived.&lt;/p&gt;

 A significant portion of the University&amp;#x2019;s revenue is received
 from federal and state governments on behalf of students who
 participate in government financial aid and assistance programs.
 Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments primarily
 represent amounts received from the federal and state governments
 under various student aid grant and loan programs, such as Title
 IV. The University receives these funds subsequent to the
 completion of the authorization and disbursement process and holds
 them for the benefit of the student. The U.S. Department of
 Education (&amp;#x201C;Department of Education&amp;#x201D;) requires Title IV
 funds collected in advance of student billings to be restricted
 until the course begins. The University records all of these
 amounts as a current asset in restricted cash, cash equivalents and
 investments. The majority of these funds remains as restricted for
 an average of 60 to 90 days from the date of receipt.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;

 The University considers its investments in municipal bonds, mutual
 funds and municipal securities as available-for-sale
 securities.&amp;#xA0;Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair
 value, determined using Level 1 and Level 2 of the hierarchy of
 valuation inputs, with the use of quoted market prices and inputs
 other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets, with
 unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate
 component of other comprehensive income.&amp;#xA0;Unrealized losses
 considered to be other-than-temporary are recognized currently in
 earnings.&amp;#xA0;Amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts,
 interest and dividend income and realized gains and losses are
 included in interest and other income.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Derivatives and Hedging&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet
 as assets or liabilities and re-measured at fair value at each
 reporting date.&amp;#xA0;For derivatives designated as cash flow
 hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative
 is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and
 reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during
 which the hedged transaction affects earnings.&amp;#xA0;Gains and
 losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness
 or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness
 are recognized in current earnings.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 Derivative financial instruments enable the University to manage
 its exposure to interest rate risk.&amp;#xA0;The University does not
 engage in any derivative instrument trading activity.&amp;#xA0;Credit
 risk associated with the University&amp;#x2019;s derivatives is limited
 to the risk that a derivative counterparty will not perform in
 accordance with the terms of the contract.&amp;#xA0;Exposure to
 counterparty credit risk is considered low because these agreements
 have been entered into with institutions with strong credit
 ratings, and they are expected to perform fully under the terms of
 the agreements.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 On February 27, 2013, the University entered into an interest rate
 corridor to manage its 30 Day LIBOR interest exposure related to
 its variable rate debt. The fair value of the interest rate
 corridor instrument as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015
 was $205 and $728, respectively, which is included in other assets.
 The fair value of the derivative instrument was determined using a
 hypothetical derivative transaction and Level 2 of the hierarchy of
 valuation inputs. This derivative instrument was originally
 designated as a cash flow hedge of variable rate debt obligations.
 The adjustment of $531 and $699 for the nine months ended September
 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the effective portion of the
 loss on the derivatives is included as a component of other
 comprehensive income, net of taxes.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 The interest rate corridor instrument reduces variable interest
 rate risk starting March 1, 2013 through December 20, 2019 with a
 notional amount of $75,000 as of September 30, 2016. The corridor
 instrument&amp;#x2019;s terms permits the University to hedge its
 interest rate risk at several thresholds; the University pays
 variable interest monthly based on the 30 Day LIBOR rates until
 that index reaches 1.5%. If 30 Day LIBOR is equal to 1.5% through
 3.0%, the University pays 1.5%. If 30 Day LIBOR exceeds 3.0%, the
 University pays actual 30 Day LIBOR less 1.5%.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 As of September 30, 2016, no derivative ineffectiveness was
 identified. Any ineffectiveness in the University&amp;#x2019;s
 derivative instrument designated as a hedge is reported in interest
 expense in the income statement. For the nine months ended
 September&amp;#xA0;30, 2016, $8 of credit risk was recorded as a
 reduction in interest expense for the interest rate corridor. At
 September 30, 2016, the University does not expect to reclassify
 gains or losses on derivative instruments from accumulated other
 comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next 12
 months.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fair Value of Financial Instruments&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, investments,
 accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued compensation and
 benefits and accrued liabilities expenses approximate their fair
 value based on the liquidity or the short-term maturities of these
 instruments.&amp;#xA0;The carrying value of notes payable approximates
 fair value as it is based on variable rate index.&amp;#xA0;The carrying
 value of capital lease obligations approximate fair value based
 upon market interest rates available to the University for debt of
 similar risk and maturities.&amp;#xA0;Derivative financial instruments
 are carried at fair value, determined using Level 2 of the
 hierarchy of valuation inputs, with the use of inputs other than
 quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 The fair value of investments, primarily municipal securities,
 including municipal bond portfolios and a mutual fund holding
 municipal securities, were determined using Level 1 and Level 2 of
 the hierarchy of valuation inputs, with the use of quoted market
 prices and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
 the assets. The unit of account used for valuation is the
 individual underlying security. The municipal securities are
 comprised of city and county bonds related to schools, water and
 sewer, utilities, transportation, healthcare and housing. Because
 these securities are held by the University as investments,
 assessment of non-performance risk is not applicable as such
 considerations are only applicable in evaluating the fair value
 measurements for liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 Net revenues consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from
 courses taught by the University online, on ground at its over
 250-acre campus in Phoenix, Arizona, and at facilities it leases or
 those of employers, as well as from related educational resources
 that the University provides to its students, such as access to
 online materials. Tuition revenue and most fees from related
 educational resources are recognized pro-rata over the applicable
 period of instruction, net of scholarships provided by the
 University. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015,
 the University&amp;#x2019;s revenue was reduced by approximately
 $123,112 and $114,660, respectively, as a result of scholarships
 that the University offered to students. The University maintains
 an institutional tuition refund policy, which provides for all or a
 portion of tuition to be refunded if a student withdraws during
 stated refund periods. Certain states in which students reside
 impose separate, mandatory refund policies, which override the
 University&amp;#x2019;s policy to the extent in conflict. If a student
 withdraws at a time when only a portion, or none, of the tuition is
 refundable, then in accordance with its revenue recognition policy,
 the University continues to recognize the tuition that was not
 refunded pro-rata over the applicable period of instruction.
 However, for students that have taken out financial aid to pay
 their tuition and for which a return of such money to the
 Department of Education is required as a result of his or her
 withdrawal, the University recognizes revenue after a student
 withdraws only at the time of cash collection. Sales tax collected
 from students is excluded from net revenues. Collected but
 unremitted sales tax is included as an accrued liability in the
 consolidated balance sheets. The University also charges online
 students an upfront learning management fee, which is deferred and
 recognized over the average expected term of a student.&amp;#xA0;Costs
 that are direct and incremental to new online students are also
 deferred and recognized ratably over the average expected term of a
 student. Deferred revenue and student deposits in any period
 represent the excess of tuition, fees, and other student payments
 received as compared to amounts recognized as revenue on the income
 statement and are reflected as current liabilities in the
 accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The University&amp;#x2019;s
 educational programs have starting and ending dates that differ
 from its fiscal quarters. Therefore, at the end of each fiscal
 quarter, a portion of revenue from these programs is not yet
 earned. Other revenues may be recognized as sales occur or services
 are performed.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Allowance for Doubtful Accounts&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 The University records an allowance for doubtful accounts for
 estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure or refusal
 of its students to make required payments, which includes the
 recovery of financial aid funds advanced to a student for amounts
 in excess of the student&amp;#x2019;s cost of tuition and related fees.
 The University determines the adequacy of its allowance for
 doubtful accounts based on an analysis of its historical bad debt
 experience, current economic trends, the aging of the accounts
 receivable and student status. The University applies reserves to
 its receivables based upon an estimate of the risk presented by the
 age of the receivables and student status. The University writes
 off accounts receivable balances at the earlier of the time the
 balances are deemed uncollectible, or one year after the revenue is
 generated. The University accelerates the write off of inactive
 student accounts such that the accounts are written off by day 150.
 The University reflects accounts receivable with an offsetting
 allowance as long as management believes there is a reasonable
 possibility of collection. Bad debt expense is recorded as an
 instructional costs and services expense in the consolidated income
 statement.&lt;/p&gt;

 The University evaluates the recoverability of our long-lived
 assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
 indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
 recoverable.&amp;#xA0;Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
 measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
 undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the
 assets.&amp;#xA0;If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
 impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
 carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
 assets.&lt;/p&gt;

 Instructional costs and services consist primarily of costs related
 to the administration and delivery of the University&amp;#x2019;s
 educational programs. This expense category includes salaries,
 benefits and share-based compensation for full-time and adjunct
 faculty and administrative personnel, information technology costs,
 bad debt expense, curriculum and new program development costs
 (which are expensed as incurred) and costs associated with other
 support groups that provide services directly to the students. This
 category also includes an allocation of depreciation, amortization,
 rent, and occupancy costs attributable to the provision of
 educational services, primarily at the University&amp;#x2019;s Phoenix,
 Arizona campus.&lt;/p&gt;

 General and administrative expenses include salaries, benefits and
 share-based compensation of employees engaged in corporate
 management, finance, human resources, compliance, and other
 corporate functions. General and administrative expenses also
 include an allocation of depreciation, amortization, rent, and
 occupancy costs attributable to the departments providing general
 and administrative functions.&lt;/p&gt;

 In July 2016, the University notified a current landlord of its
 intent to vacate leased space by the end of the fourth quarter of
 2016. As part of that notification, the University was required to
 pay a termination fee to its landlord of $3,363 which was recorded
 as an expense in the third quarter of 2016. The new lease
 termination date is in July 2017. At the date the University
 vacates the space, it will expense the remaining amounts due under
 the lease net of remaining deferred rent. We estimate this amount
 to be $300.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;

 The University accrues for contingent obligations when it is
 probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is
 reasonably estimable. When the University becomes aware of a claim
 or potential claim, the likelihood of any loss exposure is
 assessed. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount
 of the loss is reasonably estimable, the University records a
 liability for the estimated loss. If the loss is not probable or
 the amount of the potential loss is not reasonably estimable, the
 University will disclose the claim if the likelihood of a potential
 loss is reasonably possible and the amount of the potential loss
 could be material. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to
 future changes include tax, legal, and other regulatory matters,
 which are subject to change as events evolve, and as additional
 information becomes available during the administrative and
 litigation process. The University expenses legal fees as
 incurred.&lt;/p&gt;

 The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
 with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires
 management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
 reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and
 accompanying notes.&amp;#xA0;Actual results could differ from those
 estimates.&lt;/p&gt;

 In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
 (&amp;#x201C;FASB&amp;#x201D;) issued, &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Simplifying the Presentation
 of Debt Issuance Costs&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The guidance requires that debt
 issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented
 in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount
 of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. As the
 guidance permits, the University has elected to have debt issuance
 costs related to lines of credit to be reported as an asset and
 amortized over the term of the line. The guidance is effective for
 the University&amp;#x2019;s annual reporting period beginning January 1,
 2016. The University adopted this new standard on January 1, 2016
 on a retrospective basis, and the adoption of this guidance did not
 have a material impact on its financial condition, results of
 operations, or disclosures.&amp;#xA0;The University did not have to
 restate or adjust any of our previously issued consolidated
 financial statements as our current accounting policy for the
 presentation of debt issuance costs is in compliance with the new
 guidance.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 1px &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12px; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;

 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 In April 2015, the FASB issued, &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Intangibles-Goodwill and
 Other-Internal-Use Software, Customer&amp;#x2019;s Accounting for Fees
 Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The guidance
 requires customers to determine whether a cloud computing
 arrangement contains a software license. If the arrangement
 contains a software license, customers must account for fees
 related to the software license element in a manner consistent with
 how the acquisition of other software licenses is accounted for
 under ASC 350-40; if the arrangement does not contain a software
 license, customers must account for the arrangement as a service
 contract. The University adopted this standard on January 1, 2016
 on a prospective basis, and the adoption of this guidance did not
 have a material impact on its financial condition, results of
 operations, or disclosures. The University did not have to restate
 or adjust any of our previously issued consolidated financial
 statements as our current accounting policy for cloud computing
 arrangements is in compliance with the new guidance.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 In November 2015, the FASB issued, &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Income Taxes: Balance
 Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The standard
 requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as
 noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into
 current and noncurrent. This standard is effective for fiscal
 years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after
 December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may
 be applied either retrospectively or on a prospective basis to all
 deferred tax assets and liabilities. The University early adopted
 this standard on January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis.
 Accordingly, we reclassified the current deferred taxes to
 noncurrent on our December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet,
 which decreased current deferred tax assets by $6,448 and decreased
 noncurrent deferred tax liabilities from $21,303 to $14,855.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 18pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;

 In May 2014, the FASB issued &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Revenue from Contracts with
 Customers&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The standard is a comprehensive new revenue
 recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a
 manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at
 an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received
 in exchange for those goods or services. The accounting guidance
 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount,
 timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
 customer contracts, including significant judgements and changes in
 judgements and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or
 fulfill a contract. After the FASB amended the standard in July
 2015, the standard is effective for us on January 1, 2018 using
 either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach
 and early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2017. The FASB
 has also issued the following standards which clarify this standard
 and have the same effective dates: &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Revenue from Contracts
 with Customers: Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting
 Revenue Gross versus Net&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#x201D;; and &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Revenue from
 Contracts with Customers; Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical
 Expedients&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The University is currently evaluating which
 transition approach to use and the impact that the new revenue
 recognition standards will have on our consolidated financial
 statements.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 In February 2016, the FASB issued &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Leases&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The
 standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on
 the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12
 month. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim
 periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and
 early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective
 for us on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach.
 We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have
 on our consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 In March 2016, the FASB issued &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Compensation &amp;#x2013; Stock
 Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment
 Accounting&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The standard is intended to simplify several
 areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements,
 including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of
 cash flows and forfeitures. While aimed at reducing the cost and
 complexity of the accounting for share-based payments, the
 amendments are expected to significantly impact net income,
 earnings per share and the statement of cash flows as discussed
 further in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. This standard is effective for
 fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning
 after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted.
 Accordingly, the University will adopt this update as of January 1,
 2017 using the prospective method.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 1px &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12px; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;

 In June 2016, the FASB issued &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Financial Instruments
 &amp;#x2013; Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
 Instruments&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#x201D;.&amp;#xA0;The new guidance revises the
 accounting requirements related to the measurement of credit losses
 on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are
 recorded.&amp;#xA0;The standard is effective for fiscal years, and
 interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15,
 2019.&amp;#xA0;Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years and interim
 periods within those years, beginning after December 15,
 2018.&amp;#xA0;Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January
 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach, and we are
 currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our
 consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: 10pt &apos;Times New Roman&apos;; WIDOWS: 1; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"&gt;
 The University has determined that no other recent accounting
 pronouncements apply to its operations or could otherwise have a
 material impact on its financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

 Net revenues consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from
 courses taught by the University online, on ground at its over
 250-acre campus in Phoenix, Arizona, and at facilities it leases or
 those of employers, as well as from related educational resources
 that the University provides to its students, such as access to
 online materials. Tuition revenue and most fees from related
 educational resources are recognized pro-rata over the applicable
 period of instruction, net of scholarships provided by the
 University. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015,
 the University&amp;#x2019;s revenue was reduced by approximately
 $123,112 and $114,660, respectively, as a result of scholarships
 that the University offered to students. The University maintains
 an institutional tuition refund policy, which provides for all or a
 portion of tuition to be refunded if a student withdraws during
 stated refund periods. Certain states in which students reside
 impose separate, mandatory refund policies, which override the
 University&amp;#x2019;s policy to the extent in conflict. If a student
 withdraws at a time when only a portion, or none, of the tuition is
 refundable, then in accordance with its revenue recognition policy,
 the University continues to recognize the tuition that was not
 refunded pro-rata over the applicable period of instruction.
 However, for students that have taken out financial aid to pay
 their tuition and for which a return of such money to the
 Department of Education is required as a result of his or her
 withdrawal, the University recognizes revenue after a student
 withdraws only at the time of cash collection. Sales tax collected
 from students is excluded from net revenues. Collected but
 unremitted sales tax is included as an accrued liability in the
 consolidated balance sheets. The University also charges online
 students an upfront learning management fee, which is deferred and
 recognized over the average expected term of a student.&amp;#xA0;Costs
 that are direct and incremental to new online students are also
 deferred and recognized ratably over the average expected term of a
 student. Deferred revenue and student deposits in any period
 represent the excess of tuition, fees, and other student payments
 received as compared to amounts recognized as revenue on the income
 statement and are reflected as current liabilities in the
 accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The University&amp;#x2019;s
 educational programs have starting and ending dates that differ
 from its fiscal quarters. Therefore, at the end of each fiscal
 quarter, a portion of revenue from these programs is not yet
 earned. Other revenues may be recognized as sales occur or services
 are performed.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 The University is subject to extensive regulation by federal and
 state governmental agencies and accrediting bodies. In particular,
 the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the &amp;#x201C;Higher
 Education Act&amp;#x201D;), and the regulations promulgated thereunder
 by the Department of Education, subject the University to
 significant regulatory scrutiny on the basis of numerous standards
 that schools must satisfy in order to participate in the various
 federal student financial assistance programs under Title IV of the
 Higher Education Act.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 To participate in the Title IV programs, an institution must be
 authorized to offer its programs of instruction by the relevant
 agency of the state in which it is located, accredited by an
 accrediting agency recognized by the Department of Education and
 certified as eligible by the Department of Education. The
 Department of Education will certify an institution to participate
 in the Title IV programs only after the institution has
 demonstrated compliance with the Higher Education Act and the
 Department of Education&amp;#x2019;s extensive regulations regarding
 institutional eligibility. An institution must also demonstrate its
 compliance to the Department of Education on an ongoing basis. As
 of September 30, 2016, management believes the University is in
 compliance with the applicable regulations in all material
 respects.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;page-break-before:always"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 Because the University operates in a highly regulated industry, it,
 like other industry participants, may be subject from time to time
 to investigations, claims of non-compliance, or lawsuits by
 governmental agencies or third parties, which allege statutory
 violations, regulatory infractions, or common law causes of action.
 While there can be no assurance that regulatory agencies or third
 parties will not undertake investigations or make claims against
 the University, or that such claims, if made, will not have a
 material adverse effect on the University&amp;#x2019;s business, results
 of operations or financial condition, management believes the
 University is in compliance with applicable regulations in all
 material respects.&lt;/p&gt;

 In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
 (&amp;#x201C;FASB&amp;#x201D;) issued, &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Simplifying the Presentation
 of Debt Issuance Costs&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The guidance requires that debt
 issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented
 in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount
 of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. As the
 guidance permits, the University has elected to have debt issuance
 costs related to lines of credit to be reported as an asset and
 amortized over the term of the line. The guidance is effective for
 the University&amp;#x2019;s annual reporting period beginning January 1,
 2016. The University adopted this new standard on January 1, 2016
 on a retrospective basis, and the adoption of this guidance did not
 have a material impact on its financial condition, results of
 operations, or disclosures.&amp;#xA0;The University did not have to
 restate or adjust any of our previously issued consolidated
 financial statements as our current accounting policy for the
 presentation of debt issuance costs is in compliance with the new
 guidance.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 12px"&gt;
 &amp;#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 In April 2015, the FASB issued, &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Intangibles-Goodwill and
 Other-Internal-Use Software, Customer&amp;#x2019;s Accounting for Fees
 Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The guidance
 requires customers to determine whether a cloud computing
 arrangement contains a software license. If the arrangement
 contains a software license, customers must account for fees
 related to the software license element in a manner consistent with
 how the acquisition of other software licenses is accounted for
 under ASC 350-40; if the arrangement does not contain a software
 license, customers must account for the arrangement as a service
 contract. The University adopted this standard on January 1, 2016
 on a prospective basis, and the adoption of this guidance did not
 have a material impact on its financial condition, results of
 operations, or disclosures. The University did not have to restate
 or adjust any of our previously issued consolidated financial
 statements as our current accounting policy for cloud computing
 arrangements is in compliance with the new guidance.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
 In November 2015, the FASB issued, &amp;#x201C;&lt;i&gt;Income Taxes: Balance
 Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;#x201D; The standard
 requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as
 noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into
 current and noncurrent. This standard is effective for fiscal
 years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after
 December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may
 be applied either retrospectively or on a prospective basis to all
 deferred tax assets and liabilities. The University early adopted
 this standard on January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis.
 Accordingly, we reclassified the current deferred taxes to
 noncurrent on our December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet,
 which decreased current deferred tax assets by $6,448 and decreased
 noncurrent deferred tax liabilities from $21,303 to $14,855.&lt;/p&gt;
