Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 8, 2006, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the "Company") received notification from the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools ("ABHES") that its Appeals Panel had remanded, or returned, the final decision regarding continued accreditation of the Company’s Georgia Medical Institute ("GMI") campuses in Atlanta, Marietta and Jonesboro, Georgia back to the full ABHES Commission for further consideration. In December 2005, ABHES denied a grant of continued accreditation for these three GMI schools, and the Company appealed that decision in January 2006. The remand will allow the ABHES Commission to review additional information the Company has provided regarding its retention and placement rates and its general administrative capability at those campuses. ABHES will conduct a site visit in May 2006 at the Atlanta and Jonesboro, Georgia campuses to evaluate these areas of focus. In its letter to the Company, ABHES extended the current grant of accreditation for these schools through May 31, 2006.
