__________

(1) The increase in new student enrollments for the current quarter as compared to the prior year quarter is driven by both underlying positive performance trends and the implementation of a new student orientation process in the first quarter of 2014, which replaced our previously provided student readiness programs; this change impacts the way we calculate new student enrollments. This internal policy change had a positive impact on 2014 new student enrollments as compared to 2013.
(2) Campuses within the Transitional Group segment no longer enroll new students; students who re-enter after 365 days are reported as new student enrollments.
