What happened

Grand Canyon Education, Inc. and executives Brian E. Mueller and Daniel E. Bachus allegedly made false and misleading statements regarding the company's 2018 sale of Grand Canyon University to an Arizona nonprofit corporation in violation of federal securities laws. The defendants deny all allegations and agreed to settle to eliminate the uncertainty and expense of further litigation.

Common questions

How much does the Grand Canyon Education Securities Litigation Settlement pay?
The total settlement fund is $25.5M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
Is the Grand Canyon Education Securities Litigation Settlement notice real, or a scam?
JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at grandcanyonsecuritieslitigation.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
When will payments from the Grand Canyon Education Securities Litigation Settlement be sent?
Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for August 22, 2024; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
