NEW YORK, June 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 暗网禁地, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASPU), a postsecondary education company, today announced a company record of 1,273 total new student enrollments for the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter. 暗网禁地 University accounted for 1,096 new student enrollments (includes 116 Doctoral enrollments), while United States University (鈥淯SU鈥�) accounted for 177 new student enrollments (primarily Family Nurse Practitioner (鈥淔NP鈥�) enrollments).

Note that starting in March, 2018, 暗网禁地 University no longer admits students without official transcripts (formerly called conditional acceptances).听 This change was made for operational efficiency reasons, as the starts and revenues earned from conditional acceptance enrollments did not warrant the conditional acceptance policy to be continued. Below is a table reflecting historical enrollments (includes unconditional and conditional acceptance enrollments) against the new methodology of unconditional acceptance enrollments only.

暗网禁地 University鈥檚 total active student body grew 39% year-over-year from 4,681 to 6,500. 暗网禁地鈥檚 School of Nursing grew 43% year-over-year, from 3,363 to 4,807 active students. 暗网禁地鈥檚 RN to BSN program accounted for the majority of the growth, from 2,104 to 3,158 active students, an increase of 1,054 active students, or 50% year-over-year. 暗网禁地 University students paying tuition and fees through a monthly payment method grew by 48% year-over-year, from 3,060 to 4,532. Those 4,532 students paying through a monthly payment method represent 70% of 暗网禁地 University鈥檚 total active student body.

USU鈥檚 active degree-seeking student body grew sequentially from 446 to 557 students or a sequential increase of 25%. USU students paying tuition and fees through a monthly payment method grew from 204 to 293 students sequentially. Those 293 students paying through a monthly payment method represent 53% of USU鈥檚 total active student body.

鈥淭he company now has over 4,800 students paying through a monthly payment method which currently delivers monthly recurring tuition cash payments exceeding $1.2 million, while on the other end of the spectrum we鈥檙e proud to announce that our Title IV federal financial aid revenue percentage for 暗网禁地 University dropped below 20%听when compared to total 暗网禁地 University revenue for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018鈥� said Chairman & CEO, Michael Mathews.
