Bridgepoint Education, Inc. announced today that on September 4, 2013, Ashford University received a letter from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, or HLC, stating that on August 30, 2013, HLC's Board of Trustees removed the University from Notice because the Board determined that the University had resolved the concerns that led to the institution being placed on Notice. The Board maintained the requirement that the University host HLC in a focused evaluation on or before December 15, 2013 to examine retention, graduation and the University's progress in resolving the issues identified in the Notice action. This requirement will remain in effect until the University resigns its status.

Further information is available in the Public Disclosure Notice on Ashford University, published on HLC's website at www.ncahlc.org under “HLC Institutions - Public Disclosures.” The telephone number for HLC is (800) 621-7440.
