Strayer University’s Response to COVID-19
You are our top priority
Our top priority at Strayer University is the health and well-being of our students, faculty, alumni, staff, and the communities in which we live and work.
Strayer University faculty and staff are available to serve our students, welcome new students, and provide support to our alumni even as most campuses remain closed.
- Continuing to serve: Strayer University faculty and staff are available to guide and support new and current students through their educational goals and studies.
- Leaders in online learning: With 93% of Strayer taking all classes online prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Strayer University is uniquely designed to teach and support online learning.
- Help when you need it: To continue to support students, we are offering several flexible academic and financial support options for students.

Financial Support
Strayer University has provided affordable college education for over 125 years. Our commitment to students is unwavering; as such, we have implemented financial support measures to assist students as they continue their education journey.
- Flexible payment plans. We continue to provide increased flexibility when it comes to paying tuition to help students manage their financial well-being.
- Maintaining tuition levels. As a part of our commitment to make college more accessible, we will not increase tuition rates through June 2022.
Academic Support
Earning a degree takes more than just time and money. It requires thoughtful study and concentrated effort. To help students along their education journey, Strayer is providing numerous academic support measures to help students balance coursework with their daily lives:
Assignment flexibility
Faculty will be working with students who may be going through hardships, or are having difficulty with coursework assignments, to provide reasonable accommodations wherever possible.
Faculty availability
Strayer faculty and staff remain available to support students now and in the future. Students can contact their campus staff and instructors by email or phone during normal operating hours.

Additional help and resources are available to students through Student Outreach Assistance Resources (SOAR). (Call 800-932-0034 or visit http://strayer.acisoar.com/.)
