Item 8.01. Other Events.

On January 30, 2015, following approval by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company engaged Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson, LLP (“Squar Milner”) as the Company’s independent accountant for the limited purpose of performing an audit, in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for its 2014 fiscal year, in order for the Company to be able to submit those audited financial statements to the U.S. Department of Education, as well as to certain other regulatory agencies and accreditors, in accordance with their respective regulatory requirements.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, and during the subsequent interim period through December 31, 2014, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted Squar Milner with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Squar Milner concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions or a “reportable event” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Ernst & Young LLP has not been dismissed by the Company or resigned as the Company’s principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements. Squar Milner has been engaged only for the limited purposes described above.
