Apollo Group, Inc. announced today that it has been informed by the U.S. Department of Education that the Department intends to conduct an off-site program review focused on University of Phoenix's compliance with requirements to verify student supplied information and report to the Department appropriate verification status codes relating to the federal student financial aid (Title
IV) programs in which the University participates. The review, which is scheduled to commence on July 16, 2012, initially will cover the federal financial aid award years 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 to date. The Department informed the University that an examination of the University's verification reporting for the 2010-2011 award year identified the University as having misreported verification status codes.
