Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

In February 2008, Career Education Corporation (the “Company”) announced plans to teach-out all programs at nine of eleven campuses the Company had previously held for sale. The remaining two campuses will be converted to Sanford-Brown schools. As the eleven campuses are no longer being held for sale, the results of operations of these campuses will be reflected within continuing operations for all periods presented. As such, the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been adjusted to reflect this change. In addition, in February 2008, the Company announced a new management reporting structure. Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Form 8-K (the “Exhibits”) contain certain financial and operating information for the Company giving effect to the reclassification from discontinued operations into continuing operations of the eleven campuses previously held for sale (the “Reclassification”) as well as giving effect to the Company’s new management reporting structure. The Exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1 contains the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2007, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and after giving effect to the Reclassification.

Exhibit 99.2 contains the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of income for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2007, after giving effect to the Reclassification.

Exhibit 99.3 contains certain Company start and population numbers by reportable segment, after giving effect to the Reclassification and the Company’s new management reporting structure.

By filing this report on Form 8-K and furnishing the Exhibits, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD. The Company is furnishing the Exhibits pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation FD. This information is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless the Company specifically incorporates it by reference in a document filed under the Exchange Act, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as previously set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
