VA Reimbursement
For information about Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits (Chapter 33) or the Yellow Ribbon Program, click here.
For the benefit programs other than Chapter 33, VA reimbursement varies depending on whether you attend classes full time or less than full time.
Please see the charts below to learn how full-time and part-time statuses at Strayer University are determined. This chart is used for benefit programs other than Chapter 33.
Undergraduate
| Number of undergraduate classes & length of term | Full-time or Part-time Status |
|---|---|
| 1 undergraduate class; 11-week term | less than 1/2 time |
| 2 undergraduate classes; 11-week term | 1/2 time |
| 3 undergraduate classes; 11-week term | full time |
| 1 undergraduate class; mini 5-week term | 3/4 time |
|
1 undergraduate class; 1st mini 5-week term AND 1 undergraduate class, 2nd mini 5-week term |
3/4 time |
|
1 undergraduate class; 1st mini 5-week term AND 1 undergraduate class, 2nd mini 5-week term AND 1 undergraduate class; 11 week term |
3/4 time |
PLEASE NOTE
-
2 undergraduate (11-week term) + 1 undergraduate (1st mini 5-week term) – during the time the student is enrolled in all three classes, the VA will consider the student full-time; when the mini-session ends, the VA will consider the student as 1/2 for the remainder of the term.
- 2 undergraduate (11-week term) + 1 undergraduate (2nd mini 5-week term) – for the start of the quarter, the VA will consider the student as 1/2 time until the 2nd mini session begins; then the VA will consider the student full-time.

| Number of graduate classes & length of term | Full-time or Part-time Status |
|---|---|
| 1 graduate class; 11-week term | 1/2 time |
| 2 graduate classes; 11-week term | full time |
