    Frequently asked questions

    Why transfer to Strayer?

    Build on your academic goals or pursue your next degree with Strayer University online or at one of our campus locations. Strayer has partnerships with businesses, organizations and community colleges which help us serve students from all backgrounds.

    You can enroll all the way up to the add/drop period, one week after the start of classes.

    If possible, we can order your transcripts for you after you complete a transcript request form. Otherwise, request your transcripts directly and have them sent to [email protected] or P.O. BOX 211625, Dallas TX 75211.

    Our transcript evaluation team will review and process your transcripts. The moment we’ve opened your transcript, you’ll receive a notification that it’s under review. After that, it should take about 3-5 business days to be posted on iCampus. There, you’ll be able to see what transferred.

    If you’re a graduate student, you’ll need to submit your transcripts before the quarter ends. If you’re transferring as an undergrad, plan to submit as early as possible, so you don’t wind up having to retake classes.

    That depends on your program. You can transfer up to 126 credits into an undergraduate program or up to 18 credits into a graduate program.

    No. Strayer only accepts transfer credits from accredited universities. Only credits approved by our transcript evaluation team will be applied toward your degree program.
