Corinthian Colleges Inc. (COCO) stock increased 4.64 percent to $5.19 in the after-market trading. The company received draft Cohort Default Rates (CDRs) from the federal Department of Education for students of the company's institutions who entered repayment during the federal fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. The company said thirteen institutions exceeded the 25 percent default threshold, compared with the eight institutions which exceeded the 25 percent default rate threshold for the 2008 Cohort.

On an on-going basis, Corinthian Colleges monitor cohort repayment data, and is currently monitoring the repayment and default status of the 2009, 2010, and 2011 Cohorts. The most recent data the company has received regarding defaults from the 2010 Cohort is encouraging. Given the trend data now available, the company believe that none of its institutions will exceed the 25 percent threshold under Department of Education's two-year measurement methodology for three years in a row.

For the 2010 Cohort, Corinthian Colleges does not expect any of its institutions to exceed the required 25 percent threshold. The company believes that these positive trends are the result of three main factors: its substantial investment in cohort default management over the past 18 months; stabilization in the student lending environment; and the increased participation of loan servicers in default management.
