How to save on your degree
Bachelor’s Transfer Tuition Cap
Eligibility requirements and other details
- You are a new or readmit student registering for the fall 2020 term in a Strayer University bachelor’s degree program. You are not enrolling in a certificate, associates, masters, or DevMountain program.
- You meet Strayer University admission requirements.
- You are transferring in at least 30 qualifying quarter credits into your Strayer University bachelor’s degree. (Example of qualifying would be from a regionally accredited institution or ACE)
- Unofficial transcripts can be used to determine eligibility, but official transcripts are required to award the tuition cap benefits.
- Neither you, an immediate family member of yours, nor a household member of yours currently employed by the University, the University’s parent company, or any other subsidiary of the parent company (Strategic Education, Inc.).
- Once the tuition cap of $10,000 is reached, you no longer pay tuition, technology fees, or for the diploma conferral fee. Your course tuition and technology fees paid contribute to reaching the $10,000 tuition cap.
- You are required to pay for books and course materials with a separate method of payment for the duration of your program. These costs do not count towards the tuition cap and are not covered once you reach the tuition cap of $10,000.
- You will maintain good academic standing (GPA 2.0 or greater) and good financial standing. If you do not, you may no longer earn towards the tuition cap or receive the tuition and fee benefits.
- If you fail to maintain good academic standing, in the quarter following the quarter when you fail to maintain good academic standing, the discount will be cancelled until such time that you return to good academic standing.
- If you drop or fail a course, that tuition charge or any pro-rata withdrawal fees will not accrue towards the $10,000 tuition cap. Only courses successfully completed count towards the $10,000 tuition cap.
- If you drop or fail a course after hitting the tuition cap, you will be responsible to pay the pro-rata withdrawal fees. The program will cover the course if you successfully re-take it.
- Only courses successfully completed will be covered by the tuition cap benefits and not have a tuition or technology fee associated after reaching the $10,000 cap.
- If you choose to change to an ineligible program, discontinue, or withdraw (either actively or administratively) from Strayer, you will become ineligible for capped tuition. Under no circumstance will recipients be eligible for a cash payment or any other compensation for the value of unused tuition cap benefits.
- If you take two or more consecutive quarters off, you will be responsible to pay the pro-rata withdrawal fees. If you take two or more consecutive quarters off, you will permanently forfeit the tuition cap and any benefits associated.
- You will be held to academic consequences of withdrawing from or failing any course.
- This tuition cap benefit can be combined with the laptop offer, but may not be combined with any other scholarships, tuition discounts, or Graduation Fund.
- You are not enrolled in a Degrees@Work program, or VerizonOnsite.
- In all cases, the tuition cap benefit program is at Strayer University’s discretion.
Strayer Graduation Fund
Save on your bachelor’s or select master’s degree with the innovative Strayer Graduation Fund.* For every three classes you complete successfully, you’ll earn one on us, tuition free—so you can pay less to make your dreams come true.
- Eligible students are enrolled automatically, with no GPA requirement
- You’ll earn one tuition-free class for every three you complete successfully
- Your earned courses will be applied at the end of your program

Eligibility requirements and other details
- Books, supplies, and other fees apply.
- Developmental courses (08X/090/091), transfer credits, courses completed prior to readmission, and courses passed by placement exam are excluded from this program and do not count toward earning tuition awards. Fund must be redeemed for the final courses leading to a bachelor’s degree (if you’re enrolled in a bachelor’s-level program) or master’s degree (if you’re enrolled in a master’s-level program). Successful completion means earning the grade required by the curriculum as outlined in the Strayer University Catalog.

- Unless specified in another offer’s eligibility rules you cannot combine Graduation Fund with additional offers. Some of the offers that Graduation Fund cannot be combined with include, but are not limited to: the Supplemental Assistance scholarship, the Experienced Student Completion scholarship, the Law Enforcement Tuition Assistance Program, or the Complete@Strayer Community College program.
