Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On November 21, 2006, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the "Company") announced it received an additional Nasdaq Staff Determination letter on November 15, 2006, stating that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The notice was issued in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) for the Company's failure to file a fiscal 2007 first quarter Report on Form 10-Q ("10-Q") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by the required deadline. The Company had previously filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC indicating that the Company would be unable to file its 10-Q by the original filing deadline of November 9, 2006 due to the Company’s ongoing review of its historic stock option grants.

In October, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter stating that the Company was subject to delisting for failure to file its fiscal 2006 Form 10-K ("10-K") by the required deadline. The Company appeared before the Nasdaq Appeals Panel on November 9, 2006 to appeal the original staff determination and is awaiting the results of the Panel hearing, which is expected within 30-45 days of the hearing date.

The Company expects to file its 10-K and 10-Q as soon as practicable. When both filings have been made, the Company expects Nasdaq to cease delisting proceedings against the Company.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on November 21, 2006 is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.





Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
