Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair market
value of net assets acquired, including identified intangible
assets. Goodwill is tested annually or more frequently if
circumstances indicate potential impairment. The Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued guidance
that permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to
determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step
quantitative goodwill impairment test. The University performed its
annual goodwill impairment test, by performing a qualitative
assessment. Following this assessment, the University determined
that it is more likely than not that its fair value exceeds its
carrying amount.</p>

A significant portion of the University’s revenue is received
from students who participate in government financial aid
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 (“Department of Education”)
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 remain as
restricted for an average of 60 to 90 days from the date of
receipt.</p>

<b><i>Commitments and Contingencies</i></b></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
The University accrues for a contingent obligation 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 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 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.</p>

In 2012, we entered into a new credit agreement, which increased
our term loan to $100,000 with a maturity date of December 2019.
Additionally, this facility, as amended in January 2016, provides a
revolving line of credit in the amount of $150,000 through December
2017 to be utilized for working capital, capital expenditures,
share repurchases and other general corporate purposes. The
amendment to this facility increased the revolving line of credit
from $50,000 to $150,000. Indebtedness under the credit facility is
secured by our assets and is guaranteed by certain of our
subsidiaries. The Agreement contains standard covenants that, among
other things, restrict the University’s ability to incur
additional debt or make certain investments, require the University
to maintain compliance with certain applicable regulatory
standards, and require the University to achieve certain financial
ratios and maintain certain financial condition. As of
December 31, 2016, the University is in compliance with its
debt covenants. As of December 31, 2016, $25,000 was drawn on
the revolver with $125,000 available to be drawn.</p>

The University believes the credit risk related to cash equivalents
and investments is limited due to its adherence to an investment
policy that required investments to have a minimum BBB rating,
depending on the type of security, by one major rating agency at
the time of purchase. All of the University’s cash
equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2016 and 2015
consist of investments rated BBB or higher by at least one rating
agency. Additionally, the University utilizes more than one
financial institution to conduct initial and ongoing credit
analysis on its investment portfolio to monitor and lower the

A majority of the University’s revenues are derived from
tuition financed under the Title IV programs of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (the “Higher Education
Act”). The financial aid and assistance programs are subject
to political and budgetary considerations and are subject to
extensive and complex regulations. The University’s
administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by
various regulatory agencies. Any regulatory violation could be the
basis for the initiation of potentially adverse actions including a
suspension, limitation, or termination proceeding, which could have
a material adverse effect on the University.</p>

Students obtain access to federal student financial aid through a
Department of Education prescribed application and eligibility
certification process. Student financial aid funds are generally
made available to students at prescribed intervals throughout their
predetermined expected length of study. Students typically apply
the funds received from the federal financial aid programs first to
pay their tuition and fees. Any remaining funds are distributed
directly to the student.</p>

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. This instrument did not contain
financing elements. The contractual terms of the University’s
derivative instrument have not been structured such that net
payments made by one party in the earlier periods are to be
subsequently returned by the counterparty in later periods of the
derivative’s term. The University’s derivative
instrument has not been amended or modified since inception. The
fair value of the interest rate corridor instrument as of
December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $490 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 adjustments of $245,
$602, and $486 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and
2014, respectively, for the effective portion of the gain/loss on
the derivative is included as a component of other comprehensive
income, net of taxes.</p>

The interest rate corridor instrument reduces variable interest
rate risk starting March 1, 2013 through December 20,
2019 with a notional amount of $73,333 as of December 31,
2016. The corridor instrument’s terms permit 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%.
Therefore, the University has hedged its exposure to future
variable rate cash flows through December 20, 2019.</p>

As of December 31, 2016 no derivative ineffectiveness was
identified. Any ineffectiveness in the University’s
derivative instrument designated as a hedge would be reported in
interest expense in the income statement. As of December 31,
2016, $2 of credit default risk interest expense was recorded in
interest expense in the income statement. At December 31,
2016, the University does not expect to reclassify any gains or
losses on derivative instruments from accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next 12
months.</p>

On September 27, 2008 the University’s shareholders
approved the adoption of the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan
(“Incentive Plan”) and the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase
(“ESPP”). A total of 4,200 shares of the
University’s common stock was originally authorized for
issuance under the Incentive Plan. On January 1 of each
subsequent year in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Plan,
the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Incentive
Plan automatically increases by 2.5% of the number of shares of
common stock issued and outstanding on the applicable
December 31, unless the Compensation Committee of our Board of
Directors elects to decline the increase or chooses a lower
increase. The Compensation Committee elected to decline the
increase that would have gone into effect as of January 1,
2016 and 2017, leaving the number of shares of common stock
authorized for issuance under the Incentive Plan at 12,167. The
University has only registered 8,729 of the shares authorized for
issuance under the Incentive Plan and of the registered shares
1,804 are available for grant as of December 31, 2016.
Although the ESPP has not yet been implemented, a total of 1,050
shares of the University’s common stock have been authorized
for sale under the ESPP.</p>

During fiscal year 2016, 2015, and 2014, the University granted
264, 315 and 308 shares of common stock, respectively, with a
service vesting condition to certain of its executives, officers,
faculty and employees. The restricted shares have voting rights and
vest evenly at 20% over each of the next five years. 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. In 2016, 2015, and 2014, the University granted 11, 9,

No options were granted in 2016, 2015 and 2014. Prior to 2012, the

over a period of five years and expire ten years from the date of
grant. A summary of the activity related to stock options granted
under the University’s Incentive Plan is as follows:</p>

The University has established a 401(k) Defined Contribution
Benefit Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides eligible
employees, upon date of hire, with an opportunity to make
tax-deferred contributions into a long-term investment and savings
program. All employees over the age of 21 are eligible to
participate in the plan. The Plan allows eligible employees to
contribute to the Plan subject to Internal Revenue Code
restrictions and the Plan allows the University to make
discretionary matching contributions. The University plans to make
a matching contribution to the Plan of approximately $1,920 for the
year ended December 31, 2016. The University made
discretionary matching contributions to the Plan of $1,769 and
$1,508 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014,
respectively.</p>

<b><i>Derivatives and Hedging</i></b></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet
as assets or liabilities and <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">re-measured</font> at fair value at each
reporting date. 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 period during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative
representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components
excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in
current earnings.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 12pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
Derivative financial instruments enable the University to manage
its exposure to interest rate risk. The University does not engage
in any derivative instrument trading activity. Credit risk
associated with the University’s derivatives is limited to
the risk that a derivative counterparty will not perform in
accordance with the terms of the contract. Exposure to counterparty
credit risk is considered low because these agreements have been
entered into with institutions with Aa or higher credit ratings,
and they are expected to perform fully under the terms of the
agreements.</p>

From time to time, the University is 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 can be reasonably
estimated, the University records a liability for the loss. If the
loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably
estimated, the University discloses the nature of the specific
claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible
and the amount involved is material. With respect to the majority
of pending litigation matters, the University’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.</p>

Basic earnings 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. Diluted
earnings per common share reflects the assumed conversion of all
potentially dilutive securities, consisting of stock options, for
which the estimated fair value exceeds the exercise price, less
shares which could have been purchased with the related proceeds,
unless anti-dilutive. For employee equity awards, repurchased
shares are also included for any unearned compensation adjusted for
tax.</p>

would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options in

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. The fair
value of the prepaid royalty asset relating to the settlement of
future royalty payment obligations to the former owner was
determined using an income approach, based on management’s
forecasts of revenue to be generated through its online education
program using Level 3 of the hierarchy of valuation inputs. The
rate utilized to discount net cash flows to their present values
was 35%. This discount rate was determined after consideration of
the University’s weighted average cost of capital giving
effect to estimates of the University’s risk-free rate, beta
coefficient, equity risk premium, small size risk premium, and
company-specific risk premium.</p>

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
The University enters into various lease agreements in conducting
its business. At the inception of each lease, the University
evaluates the lease agreement to determine whether the lease is an
operating or capital lease. In addition, many of the lease
agreements contain renewal options and tenant improvement
allowances. When such items are included in a lease agreement, the
University records a deferred liability on the balance sheet and
records the rent expense evenly over the term of the lease.
Leasehold improvements are included as investing activities and are
included as additions to property, plant and equipment. For leases
with renewal options, the University records rent expense and
amortizes the leasehold improvement on a straight-line basis over
the initial <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">non-cancelable</font>
lease term unless it intends to exercise the renewal option. Once
it extends the renewal option, the University amortizes any tenant
improvement allowances over the extended lease period as well as
the leasehold improvement asset (unless the extended lease term is
longer than the economic life of the asset). The University
expenses any additional payments under its operating leases for
taxes, insurance or other operating expenses as incurred.</p>

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. As of December 31,
2016, the University had vacated the space, and expensed an
additional $160 in the fourth quarter of 2016 related to the
remaining amounts due under the lease net of remaining deferred
rent.</p>

The University considers its investments in municipal bond, mutual
funds and municipal securities as available-for-sale securities.
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. Unrealized losses considered to be
other-than-temporary are recognized currently in earnings.
Amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts, interest and
dividend income and realized gains and losses are included in
interest and other income.</p>

The University has deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect
the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets
are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Realization of
the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities is
principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable
income. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and
projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the
deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is
more-likely-than-not that the University will realize the benefits
of these deductible differences. The University has no valuation
allowance at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The components of
income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:</p>

The University recognizes the impact of a tax position in its
financial statements if that position is more-likely-than-not to be
sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.
The University discloses all unrecognized tax benefits, which
includes the reserves recorded for uncertain tax positions on filed
tax returns and the unrecognized portion of affirmative claims. The
University recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions in income tax expense. Unrecognized tax benefits as

The University evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived
assets for impairment, other than goodwill, whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. 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. 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.</p>

In May 2014, the FASB issued “<i>Revenue from Contracts with
Customers</i>, as amended.” 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. In July 2015, the FASB approved a
one-year delay in the effective date. The University will adopt
this new standard January 1, 2018 using either of two
acceptable adoption methods: (i) retrospective adoption to
each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect
certain practical expedients as defined with the standard; or
(ii) adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying
the standard recognized at the date of initial application and
providing certain additional disclosure as defined within the
standard. Management is in the diagnostic phase of assessing the
financial and business impacts of implementing, <i>Revenue from Contracts with
Customers</i>, including identifying revenue sources within the
University and developing a preliminary assessment. The majority of
our revenues are related to tuition due from our students. Tuition
revenues are recognized pro-rata over the applicable period of
instruction which the University believes is consistent with the
revenue recognition method required by the new standard. Thus, we
anticipate the adoption of this standard will not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of
operations. The University is continuing to evaluate the impact the
adoption of this standard will have on our other revenues and fees
in our consolidated financial statements and the method of adoption
to be used. Management expects that there may be some changes as a
result of implementing the new standard.</p>

In January 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Financial Instruments
– Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities</i>.” The standard addresses
certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and
disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the
amendments is the requirement for changes in the fair value of
equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be recognized
through net income rather than other comprehensive income
(“OCI”). This standard is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted.
Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1,
2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will
have on our consolidated financial statements.</p>

In February 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Leases</i>.” The
standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that
requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability on
the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms longer than 12
months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating,
with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in
the income statement. 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 transition approach. A modified
retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for
capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after,
the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the
financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.
The University has begun evaluating the impact that the future
adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial
statements and we believe the adoption will slightly increase our
assets and liabilities, and will increase our financial statement
disclosures.</p>

In March 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Compensation – Stock
Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment
Accounting</i>.” 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 7, <i>Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations,</i> of
this Form 10-K. 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.</p>

In June 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Financial Instruments
– Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments</i>”. 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. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years and interim periods
within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.
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.</p>

In August 2016, the FASB issued a new standard that clarifies how
certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and
classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,

permitted. Accordingly, the new standard is effective for us on

In November 2016, the FASB issued a new standard that requires
restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and
cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. The new standard
is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption
permitted. Accordingly, the new standard is effective for us on
January 1, 2018 using a retrospective approach. Based on the
significant restricted cash balances on our consolidated balance
sheets, we anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a
significant impact on the presentation of our consolidated
statement of cash flows by removing the changes in restricted cash
balances from our cash flows from operations.</p>

Canyon University from a non-profit foundation on February 2,
2004. On August 24, 2005, the University converted from a
limited liability company to a corporation and changed its name to
Significant Education, Inc. On May 9, 2008, the University
changed its name to Grand Canyon Education, Inc.</p>

The University accounts for income taxes payable or refundable for
the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future
tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the
University’s consolidated financial statements or tax
returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary
differences are expected to be realized.</p>

The University applies a more-likely-than-not threshold for
financial statement recognition and measurement of an uncertain tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The
University recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016
and 2015, the University has reserved approximately $1,981 and
$1,706, respectively, for uncertain tax positions, including
interest and penalties, which is classified within accrued
liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.</p>

The University has deferred tax assets, which are subject to
periodic recoverability assessments. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount that more likely than not will be realized. Realization of
the deferred tax assets is principally dependent upon achievement
of projected future taxable income.</p>

University’s discretion. Repurchases may be made in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to the
applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The amount and
timing of future share repurchases, if any, will be made as market
and business conditions warrant. Since its approval of the share
repurchase plan, the University has purchased 3,491 shares of
common stock at an aggregate cost of $75,782, which includes 416
shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $15,367 during the

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
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’s cost of tuition and related fees
that we may have to return under Title IV after a student drops.
The University determines the adequacy of its allowance for
doubtful accounts based on an analysis of its historical bad debt
experience, current economic trends, and 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 of active students at the earlier
of the time the balances were 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 continues to reflect
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.</p>

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method. Normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Expenditures that materially extend the useful life of an asset are
capitalized. Construction in progress represents items not yet
placed in service and are not depreciated. Internally developed
software represents qualifying salary and consulting costs for time
spent on developing internal use software and is included in
construction in progress until its completion. The University
capitalizes interest using its interest rates on the specific
borrowings used to finance the improvements, which approximated
2.2% in 2016, and 1.9% in 2015 and 2014. Interest cost capitalized
and incurred in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and

computer equipment, and vehicles generally have estimated useful

A significant portion of the University’s revenue is received
from students who participate in government financial aid
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 (“Department of Education”)
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 remain as
restricted for an average of 60 to 90 days from the date of
receipt.</p>

The University considers its investments in municipal bond, mutual
funds and municipal securities as available-for-sale securities.
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. Unrealized losses considered to be
other-than-temporary are recognized currently in earnings.
Amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts, interest and
dividend income and realized gains and losses are included in
interest and other income.</p>

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method. Normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Expenditures that materially extend the useful life of an asset are
capitalized. Construction in progress represents items not yet
placed in service and are not depreciated. Internally developed
software represents qualifying salary and consulting costs for time
spent on developing internal use software and is included in
construction in progress until its completion. The University
capitalizes interest using its interest rates on the specific
borrowings used to finance the improvements, which approximated
2.2% in 2016, and 1.9% in 2015 and 2014. Interest cost capitalized
and incurred in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and

The University enters into various lease agreements in conducting
its business. At the inception of each lease, the University
evaluates the lease agreement to determine whether the lease is an
operating or capital lease. In addition, many of the lease
agreements contain renewal options and tenant improvement
allowances. When such items are included in a lease agreement, the
University records a deferred liability on the balance sheet and
records the rent expense evenly over the term of the lease.
Leasehold improvements are included as investing activities and are
included as additions to property, plant and equipment. For leases
with renewal options, the University records rent expense and
amortizes the leasehold improvement on a straight-line basis over
the initial non-cancelable lease term unless it intends to exercise
the renewal option. Once it extends the renewal option, the
University amortizes any tenant improvement allowances over the
extended lease period as well as the leasehold improvement asset
(unless the extended lease term is longer than the economic life of
the asset). The University expenses any additional payments under
its operating leases for taxes, insurance or other operating
expenses as incurred.</p>

The University evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived
assets for impairment, other than goodwill, whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. 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. 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.</p>

In connection with the February 2004 acquisition of the assets
of Grand Canyon University from a non-profit foundation, the
University entered into a royalty fee arrangement with the former
owner in which the University agreed to pay a stated percentage of
cash revenue generated by its online programs. The University
settled all future royalty obligations with the former owner in
April 2008 when it finalized an agreement to pay $22,500 to the
former owner. Of this payment $5,920 was considered as settlement
of the future royalty payment obligation and is included in the
accompanying balance sheet as a component of “Prepaid
Royalty” and is being amortized over a period of 20
years.</p>

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair market
value of net assets acquired, including identified intangible
assets. Goodwill is tested annually or more frequently if
circumstances indicate potential impairment. The Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued guidance
that permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to
determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step
quantitative goodwill impairment test. The University performed its
annual goodwill impairment test, by performing a qualitative
assessment. Following this assessment, the University determined
that it is more likely than not that its fair value exceeds its
carrying amount.</p>

The University measures and recognizes compensation expense for
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors,
including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. The
University calculates the fair value of share-based awards on the
date of grant. The University amortizes the share-based
compensation expense over the period that the awards are expected
to vest, net of estimated forfeiture rates. If the actual
forfeitures differ from management estimates, adjustments to
compensation expense are recorded. The University reports cash
flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation
cost realized for those options (excess tax benefits) as financing
cash flows. The University reports cash flows resulting from tax
deductions that are less than the compensation cost realized for
those options (tax shortfalls) as a noncash transaction in the
consolidated statement of cash flows. The fair value of the

Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet
as assets or liabilities and re-measured at fair value at each
reporting date. 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 period during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative
representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components
excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in
current earnings.</p>

Derivative financial instruments enable the University to manage
its exposure to interest rate risk. The University does not engage
in any derivative instrument trading activity. Credit risk
associated with the University’s derivatives is limited to
the risk that a derivative counterparty will not perform in
accordance with the terms of the contract. Exposure to counterparty
credit risk is considered low because these agreements have been
entered into with institutions with Aa or higher credit ratings,
and they are expected to perform fully under the terms of the
agreements.</p>

and benefits and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value
based on the liquidity or the short-term maturities of these
instruments. The carrying value of notes payable approximate fair
value based on its variable rate index. The carrying value of other
notes payable and capital lease obligations approximate fair value
based upon market interest rates available to the University for
debt of similar risk and maturities. Derivative financial
instruments are carried at fair value, determined using Level 2 of
the hierarchy of valuation inputs as defined in the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (“Codification”), with the use
of inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the

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. The fair
value of the prepaid royalty asset relating to the settlement of
future royalty payment obligations to the former owner was
determined using an income approach, based on management’s
forecasts of revenue to be generated through its online education
program using Level 3 of the hierarchy of valuation inputs. The
rate utilized to discount net cash flows to their present values
was 35%. This discount rate was determined after consideration of
the University’s weighted average cost of capital giving
effect to estimates of the University’s risk-free rate, beta
coefficient, equity risk premium, small size risk premium, and
company-specific risk premium.</p>

The University accounts for income taxes payable or refundable for
the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future

financial statement recognition and measurement of an uncertain tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The
University recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016
and 2015, the University has reserved approximately $1,981 and
$1,706, respectively, for uncertain tax positions, including
interest and penalties, which is classified within accrued
liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.</p>

The University accrues for a contingent obligation 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 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 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.</p>

Net revenues consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from
courses taught by the University online, at its over 260 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 years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the
University’s revenue was reduced by approximately $179,230,
$163,893 and $139,962, 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’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 to Title IV 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 our consolidated balance sheet. The University also
charges online students an upfront learning management fee, which
is deferred and recognized over the average expected term of a
student. 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 consolidated income statement and are reflected as
current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. The University’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.</p>

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’s cost of tuition and related fees
that we may have to return under Title IV after a student drops.
The University determines the adequacy of its allowance for
doubtful accounts based on an analysis of its historical bad debt
experience, current economic trends, and 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 of active students at the earlier
of the time the balances were 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 continues to reflect
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.</p>

The University uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance
for a number of risks, including claims related to employee health
care, workers’ compensation, general liability, and business
interruption. Liabilities associated with these risks are estimated
based on, among other things, historical claims experience,
severity factors, and other actuarial assumptions. The
University’s loss exposure related to self-insurance is
limited by stop loss coverage on a per occurrence and aggregate
basis. The University regularly analyzes its reserves for incurred
but not reported claims, and for reported but not paid claims
related to self-funded insurance programs. While the University
believes reserves are adequate, significant judgment is involved in
assessing these reserves such as assessing historical paid claims,
average lags between the claims’ incurred date, reported
dates and paid dates, and the frequency and severity of claims.

The University believes the credit risk related to cash equivalents
and investments is limited due to its adherence to an investment
policy that required investments to have a minimum BBB rating,
depending on the type of security, by one major rating agency at
the time of purchase. All of the University’s cash
equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2016 and 2015
consist of investments rated BBB or higher by at least one rating
agency. Additionally, the University utilizes more than one
financial institution to conduct initial and ongoing credit
analysis on its investment portfolio to monitor and lower the
potential impact of market risk associated with its cash
equivalents and investment portfolio.</p>

A majority of the University’s revenues are derived from
tuition financed under the Title IV programs of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (the “Higher Education
Act”). The financial aid and assistance programs are subject
to political and budgetary considerations and are subject to
extensive and complex regulations. The University’s
administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by
various regulatory agencies. Any regulatory violation could be the
basis for the initiation of potentially adverse actions including a
suspension, limitation, or termination proceeding, which could have
a material adverse effect on the University.</p>

Students obtain access to federal student financial aid through a
Department of Education prescribed application and eligibility
certification process. Student financial aid funds are generally
made available to students at prescribed intervals throughout their
predetermined expected length of study. Students typically apply
the funds received from the federal financial aid programs first to
pay their tuition and fees. Any remaining funds are distributed
directly to the student.</p>

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued, “<i>Simplifying the Presentation
of Debt Issuance Costs</i>.” 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’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. 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.</p>

In April 2015, the FASB issued, “<i>Intangibles-Goodwill and
Other-Internal-Use Software, Customer’s Accounting for Fees
Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement</i>.” 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. Our current accounting policy for cloud
computing arrangements is in compliance with the new guidance.</p>

In November 2015, the FASB issued, “<i>Income Taxes: Balance
Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes</i>.” 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.</p>

In May 2014, the FASB issued “<i>Revenue from Contracts with
Customers</i>, as amended.” 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. In July 2015, the FASB approved a
one-year delay in the effective date. The University will adopt
this new standard January 1, 2018 using either of two
acceptable adoption methods: (i) retrospective adoption to
each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect
certain practical expedients as defined with the standard; or
(ii) adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying
the standard recognized at the date of initial application and
providing certain additional disclosure as defined within the
standard. Management is in the diagnostic phase of assessing the
financial and business impacts of implementing, <i>Revenue from Contracts with
Customers</i>, including identifying revenue sources within the
University and developing a preliminary assessment. The majority of
our revenues are related to tuition due from our students. Tuition
revenues are recognized pro-rata over the applicable period of
instruction which the University believes is consistent with the
revenue recognition method required by the new standard. Thus, we
anticipate the adoption of this standard will not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of
operations. The University is continuing to evaluate the impact the
adoption of this standard will have on our other revenues and fees
in our consolidated financial statements and the method of adoption
to be used. Management expects that there may be some changes as a
result of implementing the new standard.</p>

In January 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Financial Instruments
– Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities</i>.” The standard addresses
certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and
disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the
amendments is the requirement for changes in the fair value of
equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be recognized
through net income rather than other comprehensive income
(“OCI”). This standard is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted.
Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1,
2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will
have on our consolidated financial statements.</p>

In February 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Leases</i>.” The
standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that
requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability on
the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms longer than 12
months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating,
with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in
the income statement. 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 transition approach. A modified
retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for
capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after,
the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the
financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.
The University has begun evaluating the impact that the future
adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial
statements and we believe the adoption will slightly increase our
assets and liabilities, and will increase our financial statement
disclosures.</p>

In March 2016, the FASB issued “<i>Compensation – Stock
Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment
Accounting</i>.” 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 7, <i>Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations,</i> of
this Form 10-K. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and

recorded. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim

<b><i>Revenue Recognition</i></b></p>

Net revenues consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from
courses taught by the University online, at its over 260 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 years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the
University’s revenue was reduced by approximately $179,230,
$163,893 and $139,962, 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’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 to Title IV 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 our consolidated balance sheet. The University also
charges online students an upfront learning management fee, which
is deferred and recognized over the average expected term of a
student. 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 consolidated income statement and are reflected as
current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. The University’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.</p>

The University measures and recognizes compensation expense for
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors,
including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. The
University calculates the fair value of share-based awards on the
date of grant. The University amortizes the share-based
compensation expense over the period that the awards are expected
to vest, net of estimated forfeiture rates. If the actual
forfeitures differ from management estimates, adjustments to
compensation expense are recorded. The University reports cash
flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation
cost realized for those options (excess tax benefits) as financing
cash flows. The University reports cash flows resulting from tax
deductions that are less than the compensation cost realized for
those options (tax shortfalls) as a noncash transaction in the
consolidated statement of cash flows. The fair value of the
University’s restricted stock awards is based on the market
price of its common stock on the date of grant.</p>

provide seed funding for entrepreneurial ventures initiated by the
University’s students. The University’s President, CEO

seats are taken by University executives. The University is not the
primary beneficiary of GCUCF, and accordingly, the University does
not consolidate GCUCF’s statement of activities with its
financial results. The University contributed $0, $500 and $500 for
the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, of which $0

<b><i>Insurance/Self-Insurance</i></b></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; MARGIN-TOP: 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 4%">
The University uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance
for a number of risks, including claims related to employee health
care, workers’ compensation, general liability, and business
interruption. Liabilities associated with these risks are estimated
based on, among other things, historical claims experience,
severity factors, and other actuarial assumptions. The
University’s loss exposure related to self-insurance is
limited by stop loss coverage on a per occurrence and aggregate
basis. The University regularly analyzes its reserves for incurred
but not reported claims, and for reported but not paid claims
related to self-funded insurance programs. While the University
believes reserves are adequate, significant judgment is involved in
assessing these reserves such as assessing historical paid claims,
average lags between the claims’ incurred date, reported
dates and paid dates, and the frequency and severity of claims.
There may be differences between actual settlement amounts and
recorded reserves and any resulting adjustments are included in
expense once a probable amount is known.</p>

In connection with the February 2004 acquisition of the assets
of Grand Canyon University from a non-profit foundation, the
University entered into a royalty fee arrangement with the former
owner in which the University agreed to pay a stated percentage of
cash revenue generated by its online programs. The University
settled all future royalty obligations with the former owner in
April 2008 when it finalized an agreement to pay $22,500 to the
former owner. Of this payment $5,920 was considered as settlement
of the future royalty payment obligation and is included in the
accompanying balance sheet as a component of “Prepaid
Royalty” and is being amortized over a period of 20

of December 31, 2016, management believes the University is in
compliance with the applicable regulations in all material
respects. The University has a program participation agreement with
full certification from the Department of Education, which gives
the University the ability to participate in the Title IV programs
through September 30, 2017.</p>

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’s business, results
of operations or financial condition, management believes the
University is in compliance with applicable regulations in all
material respects.</p>

A program review, focused on the University’s administration
of the Title IV programs in which it participates, its
administration of the Clery Act and related regulations, and its
compliance with the requirements of the Drug-Free Schools and
Communities Act for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 award years, was
initiated in April 2014. The final program review determination
letter received in June 2014 sets forth three findings, each of
which involved individual student-specific information gathering
and/or reporting errors and all of which the University promptly
corrected to the Department of Education’s satisfaction.
Accordingly, the final program review determination letter
concluded that the University had taken all corrective actions
necessary to resolve the findings and that the program review had
been closed with no further action required.</p>

The University derives a substantial portion of its revenues from
student financial aid received by its students under the Title IV
programs administered by the Department of Education pursuant to
the Higher Education Act. To continue to participate in the student
financial aid programs the University must comply with the
regulations promulgated under the Higher Education Act. The
regulations restrict the proportion of cash receipts for tuition
and fees from eligible programs to not more than 90 percent from
Title IV programs (the “90/10 revenue test”). If an
institution fails to satisfy the test for one year, its
participation status becomes provisional for two consecutive fiscal
years. If the test is not satisfied for two consecutive years,
eligibility to participate in Title IV programs is lost for at
least two fiscal years. Using the Department of Education’s
cash-basis, regulatory formula under the 90/10 Rule as currently in
effect, for its 2016, 2015, and 2014 fiscal years, the University
derived 72.3%, 74.8%, and 76.5%, respectively, for its 90/10
revenue from Title IV program funds.</p>

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued, “<i>Simplifying the Presentation
of Debt Issuance Costs</i>.” 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’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. 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.</p>

In April 2015, the FASB issued, “<i>Intangibles-Goodwill and
Other-Internal-Use Software, Customer’s Accounting for Fees
Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement</i>.” 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. Our current accounting policy for cloud
computing arrangements is in compliance with the new guidance.</p>

In November 2015, the FASB issued, “<i>Income Taxes: Balance
Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes</i>.” 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.</p>
