Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Board of Directors of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the "Company") has approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $200 million of its common stock. The Board approved the stock repurchase plan because it believes the current and recent valuation of the Company’s stock provides the opportunity for an attractive return on investment. The Company has not repurchased any shares of its common stock during the last twelve months.

Pursuant to the approved program, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time, in amounts, at prices and at such times as it deems appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations. The Company may make repurchases in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated repurchase programs or in structured share repurchase programs, and any repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. The program will be conducted in compliance with applicable legal requirements and shall be subject to market conditions and other factors.

The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. Any repurchases would be funded from available cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility.
