Item 8.01. Other Events.
In its Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 16, 2014, Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (the “University”) disclosed that the University had received official notification from the United States Department of Education (“DOE”) of the DOE’s intent to conduct a program review of the University’s administration of the Title IV programs in which it participates, as well as its administration of the Clery Act and related regulations, and its compliance with the requirements of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, in each case for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 award years.
On June 13, 2014, following completion of the program review, the University received from the DOE an expedited final program review determination letter. The final program review determination letter set 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 DOE’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 has been closed with no further action required.
