Provides universities with integrated technology, academic, marketing, communication, counseling, and back-office services under long-term agreements.
After selling Grand Canyon University to an independent nonprofit, it stopped operating a higher-education institution. Its systems support faculty recruiting and training, admissions, financial aid, accounting, and technical support. Compensation is tied to a percentage of partner tuition and fee revenue.
University partners are the customer base, with Grand Canyon University the principal scale anchor in the disclosed year-end student population. Continuity of partner relationships, especially GCU, and Title IV treatment shape the service model.
