Strayer University Reviews

Those two names I have mentioned above, are the people that I dealt with. I don't know how people can actually promise to help you and do not keep their promise. You pay money for your education and you do not learn anything let alone getting some help to pass your classes. I should have known that Strayer is one of those schools that finance matters instead of teaching students. I should have done my research before registering though. Thank you Strayer. Lesson learned.

I absolutely recommend Strayer University to anyone aspiring to a degree. I am a current student. I've been with Strayer for 2 years, now and a President's list member. My favorite aspect is the classroom. It's catered to recent events, interactive content, and innovative instruction. The Strayer Stories are so great! They star celebrities such as Queen Latifah and Mannie Fresh, as well as local heroes. Communication is top of the line and honestly, as long as you try your best, complete your work, and don't have a sense of entitlement, you are going to go far with Strayer University.

Nothing but liars. I have been waiting since august so 2 months to get my clearance letter stating I have withdrawn. Because they are dragging their feet I have been tossed out of another school. They need to be shut down.

Suspended me for 1 bad grade and appeal twice. She told it was still processing and email again. She said start class in 10/6/20. But when that day came I found out I'm still suspended and the only thing she said sorry for that!!! "Can we reappeal?" I said. No. I'm done. And tired, exhausted, frustrated so I file complain to students affairs. They said they would look into it.

I completed my bachelors and masters degrees with Strayer. I took all but two classes online while working full time and raising my three kids. Strayer was so convenient and I had no issues with my financial aide, notably at the end of my bachelors I ran out of aide and was offered assistance that I was not aware of by my counselor. I had support from my instructors whenever I needed. I’d recommend Strayer to work adults hands down.

While there is a small percentage of legitimate “professors” and capable students, the vast majority are a joke. It’s more so a business driven by profit margins at the expense of misguided students who receive a substandard education at exorbitant costs. Stay away!

This unaccredited college is bias and has cause me some extreme stress to the point I am not able to continue with this school at all. It's not good for my psyche!!! I have been lied to and on, disrespected on numerous occasions, and to top it off this ** school has the nerve to throw stones and hide their hands. I don't care how many times you call me threatening me about being dropped and how I'll be forced to pay for the dropped class. Oh damn well!!! I can write a book about all the illegal BS this school has done to me with no care at all. Smh. Financial Aid will be doing a thorough investigation. So see you in court you ** false advertising fake review posting unaccredited college! ✌???

I was enrolled with Strayer but not anymore after submitting the documents and all the information. They reject it after doing all assignments they take a while to upload the gradee they chose who they feel should get the grade. My success coach doesn't respond to me unless I have to call and complain at least 10x a week because of them not approving my documents. Oh and the refund money I never received a dime of it so before you apply to this school you better rethink they may act all sweet and nice but Hunny they can play you.

Strayer University is a great School. The instructors in the graduates program are informative and helpful. Essentially, I applied myself and received great results and experience. The business, management and human resource classes were relevant to my career. I took what I learned from my classes and applied the information to my project management duties. I enjoyed learning at Strayer University.

The truth of the matter is this school has POTENTIAL! While most are fussing about their financial aid & the ones who rave so they’re fussing about the refund, “I” can personally tell you that aside from the “REFUND” side of this, they all are telling the truth. I entered this college without properly researching it & I have my concerns!

So let me just start by saying I had issues understanding my financial aid and I was kind of annoyed and sent an email where you could tell I was annoyed. Erin ** is the woman who was assigned to help me and let me tell you how Patient and helpful she was even when I sent the email where I was so frustrated. She fixed everything for me ON A SUNDAY and made sure I understood everything about my disbursement and refund and payment plan upcoming for winter 2020 quarter. So so helpful. I am reading all these bad reviews but honestly I had a good experience. I think it really depends on who is assigned to you.

Strayer is a joke, me and my daughter attended the same year 2016. Let me start by saying my daughter was going for social worker, so I question the success coach man name Scott. He said yes Strayer specialize in that degree. Here it is 2020. I realize why he taking so many business class and not nothing to do with social worker. So one of the success coaches stated that they never had classes there for that. I e-mailed the man that use to be the dean at Lithonia campus. He ask for the name. Said he was going contact me back and look into the case. Never did. It's been 6 months now.

I attended Strayer for 2018 fall semester. I for whatever reason wasn't given tuition disbursement until December. 2018. They never could tell me why it was disbursed two months after disbursement date. Then they start to send letters to my house saying I after only attending one semester, on behalf of the Pell Grant. They have now began to make false accusations saying I owe them money for courses. I wasn't even working at the time and wasn't receiving support from family so I couldn't even qualify for a loan. Plus my two courses I took there wasn't even 2500 for the semester which was why my disbursement amount was only 400 dollars after they charged me 600 for that cheap ** Dell computer which they said would be free in the beginning. I met Pell Grant requirements due to being a minority. Why is this school trying to destroy me for greed.

I graduated from there in 2012 with BA in Criminal Justice. They didn't do anything to help me find a job, academic advisor never contacted me after graduated or anything. I feel it was a wasted of money that I know how to pay back.

I attended Strayer University to receive a BA degree in HR Management as I was told by the Admissions and Guidance Counselors they had. I clearly stated I did not want a degree in Business as I was not interested. I completed my course work in 12/2011 and when I received my degree it stated BA in Business Administration. I immediately contacted the school and was told they would investigate and get back to me. Needless to say, if the school indeed did not offer a degree in HR Management, I should have been told when I made the call about receiving the incorrect major on my degree. This showed me that they concocted a story to provide to me advising me the degree in in Business with the minor in HR. How is that when I took very little to no business classes and all HR Classes. The school has deceptive practices.

Halfway through the semester I was nominated for verification. Now know I've done all this work up to halfway through and there's three weeks left of the semester. I'm told my financial aid isn't my official transcripts until the money is paid. Strayer needs to handle all financial aid documents and what's needed before a semester starts not till a student in the middle of the semester and expect them to pay thousands of dollars. They are out for money and if you do use financial aid I feel like they make it very difficult for it to be approved. Now we also know I was a transfer from a different University with the same exact tax here in financial aid. Strayer University is the only college I've ever had a problem with. I regret going with them as my school. If I were you I would think twice before attending.

I can't speak on the undergrad level but at the Graduate Level it is no joke. The teachers are extremely helpful but they'll also fail you in a heartbeat and if you GPA falls below 3.2, consider yourself dropping out. They make this very clear during orientation to let people know to take this seriously. When I first started, I had read reviews online and notice almost everyone is complaining about refunds and lack of resources, etc. I can honestly say, those reviews are not true in my experience. I got my refund no problem, the financial aid office even went ahead and schedule a interview with me to go over my financial aid. They basically tell you what your classes and course material cost and how much you can get from student loans. Even though they are for profit, they highly suggest against taking out the maximum amount you can borrow as they explain the interest rates and how much you could potentially be paying back upon graduation.

I am absolutely in shock and appalled at more than half of these reviews. These sound like a bunch of entitled brats. They are completely biased. Half of these people are complaining about financial aid or how they failed classes because either "there was a death in the family" or " my kid was in prison". I attended NVCC community college for 4 years and only was able to accomplish 45 percent of my degree, it was incredibly expensive and they were MONEY HUNGRY.

So far this degree is useless. Not even Strayer would hire me after I applied with them. To me this degree is so useless not even they take it seriously. After doing some research, I realized no one takes for profit universities seriously. I wish I had done the research before I enrolled, but I was so drawn to their format (online for working adults). My experience past the enrollment part (it was horrible trying to reach anyone!) was great. I enjoyed it. But like I said, not even they would hire me. I have a useless Masters Degree now. Do your research before you choose this school.

If you notice, most of the people complaining about this school is because of failed financial aid or failing of classes. Well, it's not the school's job to find you financial aid. And yes, if you don't withdraw from a class, you will be charged. Whether you take it or not. All of this IS IN THE NEW STUDENT HANDBOOK. And for the individual who said that their class was over 6,000, what class were you taking because mine are 1440 a piece. And the one that used his G.I. BILL, IT SUCKS THAT YOU HAD ISSUES BECAUSE I HAD ZERO. I contacted them one day and 3 days later got my approval from the VA and was enrolled in classes that are all paid for. So if you're bashing this place due to your lack of financial aid or pack of reading/understanding the student handbook, that is your problem, not this university's.

Strayer is Liars. I don't know why Queen Latifah chooses to advocate for such a money hungry school. They have ripped me off for years, claiming to give me something at the end and a computer that tore up and locked up after about 6 months. I wished I never went to this school and racked up so much debt. I will assist my daughter in finding another school before she ends up like me with so much debt. I wish they would investigate this school and shut them down!!!!

I went to school at Strayer for two years, and in that time, I was diagnosed with cancer. I could not go to school because I was getting treatments, and I withdrew from one class and failed the other. They suspended my financial aid, and I filed an appeal. I gave them every document they asked for and provided a note from my doctor giving me the all clear to go back. They denied my appeal, saying I did not satisfy the requirements for the appeal. Mind you this was over winter quarter when I withdrew and failed the classes. I was able to return the spring quarter and passed my classes and had my financial aid.

I'm so done with Strayer University! If you are a veteran thinking about going there please do not! They just want your money and that is it all! They are lazy and worse than the VA when it comes to processing your papers or issues and it will cause you to so much stress and have monthly BAH issues and prevent you from the VA work study. I am done with this school and it is my last quarter. Take your money elsewhere when it comes to your GI Bill and your education and be careful of what school you attend period. These schools are greedy when it comes to making money...

My experience with Strayer is a one star experience to date. I am not enrolled, but I view with interest the numerous soliciting emails in my Gmail account. I am dazzled by the fact that Strayer sets up business wherever there is an online internet connection. Throw in a Title IX "umbrella" & I see a fascinating topic for legal scholars.

I would not recommend this school to anyone who is looking for an actual, challenging college experience. I completed two years at an actual university, and it was MUCH more challenging than the quarter I attended at Strayer. There are NO admission requirements for this school, no ACT/SAT score, no college essay, and it doesn't matter how you did in high school. Anyone is accepted. I don't know of another University (besides University of Phoenix, which is also a joke) that has admission standards that are so lax.

The professors, specifically Dr. ** in MKT 100, uses standardized feedback. They just randomly select from a "bank of comments," and they assigned it to students. Videos are used for feedback, but as long as you have "8 sentences," you will get an A. This is an educational scam. If you have a 4.0, don't think because you earned it. They just give "A's" away at this university.

I've been enrolled at Strayer University since 1/2019. So far there's been no problem with teachers responding or financial aid. My success coach Akinola ** always answers my calls and helps to solve any issues within the next day. I give this school a 5 star.

I began classes at Strayer on 1/2/2019 and continuing. When I filed my FA paperwork, I was told that I was chosen by the Government for "Verification", which required much more Financial Documentation. Thankfully, I do ask a lot of questions and love talking to people, AND have a friend who enrolled with me that did receive his FA and had taken on-line courses before and was familiar with all the paperwork. This kept me going to complete everything, IN SPITE of the government SHUT DOWN (Thanks TRUMP). So, a few weeks from finish, I will receive my refund, HOPEFULLY.

As an online college student at Strayer, I have had a great experience so far. This will be my 3rd term at Strayer and I am so excited about where my future degree will take me. The enrollment process was very easy. I spoke with a recruiter, she asked the necessary questions, told me what she needed from me, I explained to her what my goals and expectations were and I was enrolled. Financial Aid needed documents from me as well, and I was able to get the department what they needed in a timely manner. If there was a document requested from me that I wasn't familiar with I asked questions and they were able to provide me instructions to get the issue resolved.

From Day One enrolling at Strayer University has been one of the worse college experiences of my life. The PG Campus staff have attitude problem, and they don't know what they are talking about, and a staff member at the LRC lied on me to other staff. One Academic Dean when I had an issue with them not providing me tutoring or they had no tutoring program set up as they advertise, told me "I already have my Degree" as if she was doing me a favor assisting me with my issues. I had a death in my family and provided proof and my English teacher disregarded my proof and took late points off on assignments. They changed my success coach in 2018 and she had an attitude, and got mad that I went to someone else for help 'cause she doesn't know what she is doing.

Strayer is a challenging school. You must be self motivated and put in the time for study. It is difficult. Testing is comprehensive. Writing and defending my 160 page Thesis was the most difficult educational challenge. I would average 4 hours each night and most Saturdays were spent studying and researching Thesis material. It took two years and $30,000 to complete my MBA. I found the online material professional and most instructors very knowledgeable as compared with my BBA instructors at Dallas Baptist University. This school is not easy and every student looking for an easy degree needs to stay away from this program. It takes commitment and from experience you must be able to comprehend and apply concepts.

I attended North Campus which is in Concord, NC. My experience was horrible. They kept giving me the runaround about documents that needed to be turned in. Then they wanted to charge me for some classes that I never took. Remind you while I was there I kept an GPA of 4.0. Now that I am trying to go to another school they won't let me get my transcripts because they are saying that I owe them money. Strayer isn't nothing but a scam and need to be dealt with accordingly. It's not fair that they are trying to hinder me from going to another school because they know you need your official transcripts. This is a horrible school and I wouldn't recommend this bull crap to anyone.

I am in my 3rd term at Strayer University, I have a 4.0 goal and made president's list this last term. The professors are knowledgeable, professional, and fair. The tools to be successful are abundant. My financial aid was easy, as I see many have issues with financial aid. My success coach is awesome. I have truly enjoyed every professor I have had so far. Out of six professors two were PHD in their field. I put a lot of hard work and dedication into my studies, I work full time and have a family. At Strayer University you can do everything you ever dreamed of if you are dedicated. I can’t remember the last time I was so proud of my accomplishments. I look forward to achieving my Bachelor's in Business Management with a concentration in Business Finance, and seeing where my future takes me. I would like to add I am 43 yrs old and have been out of school for 25 years. If I can do it you can too. Best of luck and God Bless!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Strayer University. I have been attending the school since 2016. The success coaches have been super supportive. There is no reason why any student attending this school should fail a course. There are so many resources available to help you. Sure classes are pricier than other schools, but it is a private school that has been around since 1892 and has been providing quality education since. They now offer tuition credits that can be earned each semester. You can earn up to 10 tuition credits to go towards your Bachelor's degree. The financial aid department can use some improvement as far as the processing of information, but once it is established for me I had no more issues. Prospective students should utilize the site information for tuition rates, programs, and accreditations.

I would not attend this school! I have been yanked around, forced to repeat classes while burning through FA due to personality clashes with the Instructor. I've been written up for using profanity and insubordination for telling her to collect her overly inflated ego and using the word "damn" and a dude calling from Falls Church area telling me that I cannot be taken out of her class because it would not be in my favor with it being the 4th week in the term. This is MY journey and MY money - I chose SU originally because I thought they were a reputable school, but after repeated issues from the FA side to the Admissions side, and everything in between this is a school that is only concerned about preying on certain economical status students and will say/do whatever they can to save their own skin.

Strayer charges double price for classes and will not INVEST into better systems. I have been working on my Financial Aid since last year for RANDOM verification. Since July 2018, they've been losing my legal documents, asking for me to keep submitting them, meanwhile I am losing time in school, losing money, being scrutinized by Financial Affairs. I did a Conference call with Financial Aid online, after the call, she states Strayer is by far the most difficult educational system.

Strayer has put a out of pocket balance on my financial aid. This is my 7th term. Now my future degree ruin. I don't have the funds to get my degree. I spoke with other students attended Strayer and they had the same problem, they get almost to finishing and end up with a balance.

I just finished reading the reviews. This is my second year. I'm almost into my 3rd year. I wish I would have read the reviews before I attended this school. I guess God is showing me that I went to the wrong school. MONEY, MONEY. I did poorly and failed a few classes, More than willing to repeat. WHY did I fail? I am clinically diagnosed with severe depression. I had a mental breakdown. There were several issues that led me to this such as 2 deaths in my immediate family. A son that's facing several years in federal prison, husband away going on 5 years. A nine year old son to care for and due to certain circumstances I became homeless with My GPA never dropping below 2.0. As of this moment I am supposedly suspended and it's been suggested by my mental health provider to seek legal counsel. They are breaking the law.

I started this university in January 2017. At first everything was great. They required documentation that I was more than happy to give them so I could get financial aid. Classes are great. You learn a lot but being a for profit school throws my thought of them being supposedly being for us but instead for the money! Summer 2018, I just randomly checked my account details online Strayer University iCampus website and found out my financial aid was reduced a bit to where I owed $250.00.

I went to Strayer to get a MSHA and will graduate in December 2018 with a 4.0. Luckily I had corporate help with tuition and make a good living as a RN. The professors were great and challenging. I would recommend this school to anyone but you have to be self-motivated especially when attending graduate school. The staff is extremely helpful. I will go back in January 2019 to get a MBA.

Strayer University have yet to explain why I owe them and the education department both for a semester I drop. The university holds your transcript which prevents you from further education possibilities. The school is very expensive. I need some government agency to investigate this institution because I believe they are stealing money.

I’ve had a great start to the Semester. I like the dashboard, and feel supported already. Plus my company is covering all educational cost, and my free laptop from Strayer is on the way. Can’t go wrong.

This school is For Profit, and does ANYTHING it can to not give you your refund. They piece by piece the information that you need to submit INSTEAD of asking for everything up front. They are a joke... and once I get my crap settled... I'm transferring to a NON for profit college. All I want to do, is better myself at my job... and they make it so you don't want to!

Applied at Strayer. Would call it a university, but it does not qualify. I have been applying for financial aid since February. Enrolled in classes and attended the orientation. Enjoyed the time in class (one week) and the instructors are above excellent. Later May, was told my financial aid papers were incomplete. Send in the appropriate forms and everything was okay. First of April received another email need more information by Ashley ** (Houston Northwest Coordinator), additional forms sent in.

Strayer University is a scam. People there are so money hungry. My success coach stop replying to my emails and calls because I was behind on expensive payments. I ask them over and over to lower my payments and they told me they couldn't. Now going into this school I was a single mother who was living place to place. I showed them where I didn't have a place to stay and they still wanted 500.00 a month. I am so glad that I am done with this school. My best bet is to continue my education at a community college where it is much cheaper and you get the proper education you need. RUN from this school or better yet this LOAN SHARK PLACE CALLED STRAYER. WORST THAN THE MAFIA.

I was very disappointed on how I had a change of grade request and it never got changed until over a year. Then I never received my financial aid back from it. The school say I still owe them when they messed up. How is it my fault that it took a year to process a change grade at the end of the semester. Now I can’t get my official transcript because they want me to pay for the semester that was covered. How can you say it’s cover then when the semester is over for over a month now you see I owe. I am so disappointed in the Birmingham campus and the financial aid staff. I would get an email that someone would contact me. I just want someone to fix their mistakes so I can get my transcript. One angry and disappointed former student.

I am very disgusted with Strayer University. I thought that it was going to be a great college to go to. First I want to know how two classes that I took there cost $6,955. That is totally ridiculous and unrealistic. Now the thing that really gets my blood boiling is that I apply for financial aid and I was expecting to get my financial aid paid for my classes that I was taking.

This university lacks the proper faculty to properly advise students on the best way to pursue their educational goals. The device you by not giving you the complete information on adequate staffing for your degree plan. Their bullying attempts to force you to continue your studies at their institution by promising you a graduation fund that is compiled of amounts withheld from your Financial Aid, and when you attempt to redeem these funds you are denied.

I would not even give a 1 star to this establishment. These people are bunch of money hungry thief and lairs. I transferred from ITT tech due to school closing and out of the 156 credits they only transferred 94 of them. When asked them to re-evaluate my transcript nothing good came back. The professors are bunch of racist because I always got treated unfairly and 2 classes are not satisfactory due to their system errors and absurd policies even getting a passing grade. Now I have paid for 80 some credits on my loan and I am at my limit. They won't accept credits and my legit CompTIA and Microsoft certifications. Was suppose to graduate 6 months ago but to make money off me they extended me to another year. This is crazy and daytime robbery. Why is this allowed in this day and age.

I was enrolled at Strayer for 1 1/2 years and changed my education plans that they did not offer so I have been trying to transfer to another university. I withdrew from Strayer in August 2017 and now it is the end of December 2017, and they have finally released my federal financial aid, in all I have submitted the paperwork to cancel my financial aid 6 times. Every time I would check on it there was some kind of error. In the meantime it has delayed me a total of six months, the next session with the new university is Feb 2018.

I have been enrolled in classes for 9 weeks and they keep requesting more information, saying doc aren't signed correctly. I have had all my information in the school for over 15 weeks and I bug them every day. I'm about to lose my stuff due to them not processing my aid. I need paper, printer Ink too. My pay my Wi-Fi service so I can do my classes. No one I mean no one has moved on this other than to ask for more stuff, more document. I applied and have already got my loans and everything done and ready. All they have to do is process my application. They allow you in classes then cause you to fail. They have no idea how much work it is for someone to work full-time and attend classes full time. They sign you up to fail. And funny thing is my aid still is not processed.

I've been trying to find a college to finish my degree mostly online due to my health. Strayer was one of several. I asked for more information, but instead, they started the enrollment process for the winter quarter for me and asked me to start sending in my information. Not what I expected at all, and it put me right off.

I recently enrolled in Strayer University and started my coursework on 10/3/2017 and it has been downhill ever since!! The Financial Aid department is very UNORGANIZED and does not care about its students. After my 30 day hold was up with the Department of Education Strayer employees continued to lie to me about funds and disbursements. First I was told by my success coach that the servers weren't communicating properly and the issue was fixed. Two days later I was told my MPN wasn't linked to my loans but now it's fixed. Then I was told the loans would disburse Friday 11/3 and they did not.

I was very skeptical about attending Strayer to obtain my Masters at first. But after a few quarters I realized that the teachers were very knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects they were teaching. When I came to the realization that it was I who determined my own destiny, I opened up, dug deep and received intrinsically meaningful education that I wouldn't trade for the world. My Strayer teachers challenged me. But I also challenged them with my thirst to learn.

I finished my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice at the end of March 2017! I graduated in Charlotte at the end of July as valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA. While I was a student at Strayer, I had some wonderful professors and awesome staff and faculty at my campus which is part of the reason my undergraduate program was such a success. Getting involved in clubs and being a blogger on iCampus helped me interact with students. I loved Strayer and highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking about going back to school and needs the flexibility they offer.

Overall, this school has been great. I've been a part-time student for several years now and have seen how Strayer continues to improve and upgrade the user experience. The registration process, book purchases, and other services have become very efficient. I can register, buy books and be enrolled just by following the steps on the website. The classes have varying degrees of difficulty. I have found some classes to be incredibly easy, while others required me to spend 15 to 20 hours a week to complete the weekly assignments.

Taking my last 3 classes this coming October to finish up my Bachelor's. I definitely recommend Strayer to my peers, it's a great institution to further your education. Teachers do a great of working with you to help you achieve your goals.

Strayer University online classes gave me an opportunity to work towards my Bachelor's degree as well as grow professionally and personally. I was able to take classes while still keeping a full time job and taking care of my baby. The staff at the University was always friendly and helpful, checking in and providing answers whenever they arise.

I have been very happy with my experience with Strayer. I take both online and on campus classes each semester. I've been attending for a year and had credits transfer from community college I had taken many years ago. I am utilizing the G.I. Bill and keep on top of the finances each semester so I will not be caught off guard. The instructors that I have are all professionals in the field that they are teaching and knowledgeable about the subject matter. I work hard for my grades and keep aware to turn in assignments on time, if not early. I still have 2 years to go to finish my bachelor's degree, but I may accelerate that a little by testing out of a couple classes. I am optimistic that with diligence on my part, the rest of my time will be more than worthwhile.

I have tried other colleges as an adult learner, and none seem to be a perfect fit. Then, I enrolled in Strayer and it was perfect. The enrollment process was a breeze and the staff is very hands on. I began my journey with Strayer by attending one campus class and an online class. All professors were so helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make sure students understand the material and pass the classes. They provided supplemental instruction time when needed and were only a phone call, text message, or email away.

Major firms do not recognize a degree from this school. If you try to transfer to another business school, the school will not recognize any credits you have from Strayer. It is a degree that costs a lot of money and is worthless when it comes to getting you a job.

I attended Strayer, I believe from 1998 to 2005 (I believe) and was 4 credits short of my degree when I went to sign up for my last class. That is when the financial aid office informed me that I had no money left in my grant. That was the ONE AND ONLY TIME THEY HAD COMMUNICATED THIS TO ME. Financial Aid said I should have handled my money better but I was under the impression that I had enough to complete my full degree. Now I have an huge bill and no degree and can get no one to help me. I am a senior citizen and want to continue my education in West Virginia. Strayer is saying that I owe them $2000.00 and will not release my transcripts. I do not know what that money is for and get no one to speak to me about it. I now live on my Social Security and have this opportunity to continue my education.

Strayer University is a great school. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot using their online services. It's a great way to learn, very convenient and more at your pace than a traditional sit in the classroom type school. I really love how it's very hands on and descriptive about everything you do. It's a perfect way to school.

Enrolling at Strayer is pretty easy. All you really have to do is log into your account and go from there. You do need to make sure you have proper software and at least halfway decent internet though.Online programs can be very difficult depending on the degree you are going for. I find accounting and some business classes are better off in an actual classroom. But they make it easier. I wish there was a way to actually do an in person study group or something of that nature. Especially with some courses it's easier to talk it out with others and it can be challenging to convey what part confuses you over a computer rather than in person.

It is easy to engage and navigate. The courses are only helpful when you do the work. But it is very easy to pass the class without doing the readings or studies because a student can just use Google, Wiki or Youtube for information and I don’t like it. The student does not learn the details and how to’s by doing this and so missing crucial pieces of information. There is no way to ensure the student read or did the correct things to finish an assignment. I like however that we can work on our own time and watch the lessons whenever I am able to. No schedule that you have to adhere to, only deadlines. Also, there are lots of resources to reach out to for help. But it takes a lot of self discipline to stick to your studies because there is no one there to force you to put aside time for school.

With Strayer University I just request information online, register on the website, choose the career to take, send the requirements and receive information on how to start. Then I receive study material and information references. I like their degree program, personal coach, campus and online, individual and group tutoring. As well as their master degree and personal treatment. There are great job opportunities, experience in the field of work, and schedule facilities. There is nothing in particular that I dislike, in general the process is easy and satisfactory, and meets my expectations. It is accessible for all people, fast and uncomplicated.

The Strayer University has so many good features. It is very reliable, valuable, unique and different. The courses are very helpful for us. The enroll system fits us very well and would like to use it in the future. I also like the online program they provide because they get so many good positive reviews by the people who enrolled before me. In fact, there are no features I dislike about the online program. The process of enrolling and taking courses are very easy to engage with the online platform.

The whole process was very simple and painless from enrolling to each class 6 week period all the way to graduation. There is always someone to help you each step of the way. I really liked the fact that I was able to work and keep going to school at my time when I was able. Never needed to take off work or try and find a babysitter. Although some of the classes you have group work which is to help in getting you to work well with others but you have those who don’t really care and wait 2 hrs before deadline to turn in their portion of work.

It was easy to enroll, and provided a platform for everyone to get education. I appreciated that the cost was reasonable and credits transferable. I find it easy to engage. The classes allowed for self-starters to take control of their education while still engaging in their own lives. However, there is something that could be improved upon. Perhaps providing more classes that aren't as structured upon the semester system. Perhaps it would be easier to engage with the class when it wasn't forced discussion topics that everyone had to participate in. It was difficult to be present when it felt like we had to be forced into discussion topics, even every discussion. I often found people copying and pasting or cheating-which wasn't helpful. Plus it's hard to engage when there isn't face time.

It was a very simple process to enroll at Strayer University. But I didn't like that I had to provide my transcripts. Other institutions retrieved your transcripts for you saving everyone time. Other than that, the start dates are flexible once everything was filled out and submitted so I started classes two weeks later. I like the live seminars we have twice a week. They are archived and you can go back to re-watch them anytime. You also have the option to pick seminar days and times that fit your schedule. Pearson offers so many ways to interact with the book. I had one professor use features like multiple choice questions that when answered wrong you were given the book page to reference to. More activities ensure I am retaining the information I'm learning would be beneficial.

Strayer University offers efficient way of learning for a full time working mother like me. They offer various schedule to match up my schedule so I could balance up between work, home and school. They also have good educators and various major and I have learnt so much these 6 months. Besides that, the convenient Atlanta locations are very good for me. I am currently major in Accounting and most of the courses are very useful to improve quality of work for my company. The organizational skill I learnt from them is really an important subject to improve the organization I am in. I am getting better and more reliable. I am just hoping that we could have one on one chat, do Skype, Google or even build Stayer Facebook group with the professor and other students to discuss about study materials or the team project we currently working on.

My experience with Strayer University has been remarkable. I am very happy having the freedom to study and do assignments at home or anywhere I choose. I also like being able to work full time without schooling issues and class times to meet. I never had an issue with staff, curriculum, financial aid, or non-cooperation from my success coach or any other entity within the community. I have encountered challenges while attending; however, any concern was addressed timely and professionally. I am proud to say that I am a Strayer University student, and I would recommend the university to any adult that is serious about obtaining higher education.

Enrolling was quite easy. You were assigned a mentor/coach who ensured you turned in all of the proper documents that were needed to complete the enrollment process and that you were always prepared for class. They also assist you when choosing the right course and amount. I like that the classes were smaller than a regular university and you are able to get one-on-one attention with the professor. The professor ensured that you had everything that was needed in order to pass the courses.

I applied online at Strayer University and classes are given in a virtual setting. The signing up process simply takes a few minutes to fill out the application. It is fun and convenient. I like the fact that I am able to work on my free times at the convenient of my own home. I don’t need to spend on gas or be stuck in traffic to get to school. It’s a fast pace environment to catch up with homeworks. I often find myself falling behind and due dates come pretty quick.

Their work study program is good for me because of work, being wife and having other obligations. Honestly it just worked out well. Even if it meant that it was going to take a little longer to achieve, I was still satisfied. I found it easy to engage in online classes. It was helpful to me as I was working full time and taking classes at the same time. It would have been much more difficult for me to obtain my degree otherwise. Overall I think their setup is easy enough that anyone should be able to follow the necessary steps need to enroll and get register to take classes online.

It was easy to enroll, take classes and testing. Online is the way to go if you have a full-time job and are not available to take classes during the day. The ease of study and flexible times at my choosing to study is what I like. At the beginning I thought online courses would be difficult but after trying them out I was amazed how it easy it was. The only thing I would change if I could would be to make it less expensive.

I like that I am able to do whatever I want online and that I am able to take my classes online and do whatever I want to do. I also love how quickly the professor responds to my inquiries and I love that I am able to do my course work easily on my own time without any problems. I sometimes dislike that I cannot go in person to get any help that I need on any assignments and not being able to interact with other classmates as well. But I do like that I do not have to travel that often. The traveling aspect makes me very sick. However, it can sometimes be difficult to engage with the online platform because it can be really boring sometimes. Sometimes we are staring at black and white screens all day and reading boring texts that I'm disinterested in. I really do not like this aspect. I also dislike the long hour of watching YT videos.

Easy to engage and enroll. There's flexibility to work when I wanted. Nice interaction with instructors and other students. Met my scheduling issues. However, I was lied to about help with term papers in the school learning center. The Teays Valley dean was obnoxious! Failed to keep the promise of local support and term paper editing and review. The dean should have been fired! A lack of local support. But wish I was still enrolled. I have not been able to finish my degree. Wish that I can!!! Without my masters I cannot do what I want!

I went to Kaplan University and the enrolling process was easy. Things were laid out for me in a very clear manner. I was asked what I was looking for in my future and was advised to start with a two year plan so I don't get burned out then to go back later for the next two years once I have had a chance to take a break. I was told that the concern is more about the students and their success because they are not successful if the students are not happy or successful.

It was very easy from starting the process to finishing the course. Phoenix maintains extensive, easy to access records and online interaction with their program is a joy to learn with. Very helpful! The feature most helpful was utilizing their online portal for easy access and communication. University of Phoenix has designed an extremely useful online component that is worth considering when looking into online courses. Follow-up as a previous student is easy for accessing records.

It is somewhat easy, a little time consuming but so are most worthwhile ventures. It is worth it, the education plans are worth it for a quality and competitive advantage in the world. I like that you can take class online at your own pace and the price is lower than a traditional college and I will be happy to see more from this university. You would have to change the stigma that somehow online college is lesser than big college institutions and I will not only be supported by the college I will feel proud.

Online platform is extremely easy if you have knowledge of computers, have taken classes before and know how to buckle down to get your work done without a school atmosphere but would not recommend to students that are young. They get distracted easily or not computer savvy. I like that I can take the classes anywhere, working well with my business travel and are often flexible for when you will have time to sit down and do them from week to week. Having to work in groups for projects can often be tricky as there are all different age groups, levels of experience (ie intelligence) and some think that because they hide behind that computer can treat others poorly without respect.

Strayer University is a top online and campus school. The courses they have there are phenomenal. There is financial aid for those who qualify. The teachers there are always pleasant and easy to work with. Although I would improve the financial aid aspect of this school. I personally did not have a problem but I had a friend who did. She said the financial aid department was very unorganized and lost an important piece of mail that she had turned into them. But that is really the only bad thing I have heard. It's very easy to enroll online and begin classes. It is a fairly simple set up. If you have questions there is always someone available to guide you along the way.

It is simple and easy to navigate and access the online platform anytime. I also enjoy that I am able to send emails to my professors and the teachers enjoy what they do. However, I dislike that it takes a while to contact my teacher or administrators when I have a question, buy materials for my classes and need help with my studies or make a payment on my classes. But when I am able to contact them, they are very helpful and willing to answer questions I have.

The enrolling process at Strayer University was straight forward and easy. Picking up courses, their availability and the online platform are all great although not being able to have a face to face interaction with the faculty and other students makes the experience slightly different. The online program allows me to stay at my current job while pursuing my education goals and getting a degree. I can take them from anywhere as long as I have access to internet so they are easy to take. I would like to see more science courses even though I understand that teaching science courses online might be challenging.

I have a 612.00 balance due. At the maximum amount it should Only be $200.00. I registered to attend Strayer University back in 2011. I'm 2 classes short of my associate's degree. I called & spoke with Marcus ** on October 8, 2016. I told him to withdraw me from the semester due to them not processing my information (financial aid) timely. I informed him that I would gladly attend the winter quarter, simply because that would give them plenty of time to finish. So that I would not have any problems.

I think Strayer is a great university. The counselors are super friendly and helpful. The process of enrolling and taking courses was basically very easy. All I had to do is send in my school transcript and from there on the counselors just kept in touch with me and helped me apply for financial funds to help pay for my education. They have great professors and the university is technology advanced. It is great to work with my goals and everyone is very friendly. I have made many new friends that are very kind and help me when I have questions and concerns on my assignments. Everything is just perfect for me. I love this university and I would recommend to all my family and friends.

My experience at this higher educational institution was phenomenal. Strayer University is absolutely what I would recommend to future change agents wanting to pursue and excel beyond anything that they could imagine. The online platform wasn't easy nor difficult but the process was fun, and the courses has been very helpful. Great curriculum, but once completed it takes FOREVER for them to send you your diploma.

Very Good University. I have an MBA from Strayer University. I read the reviews, most of them related to personal experience with the financial office, not the education quality. The school is very good, I liked the lectures, schedule flexibility, the warm environment, and the quality of the education courses and learning materials.

This schools financial aid is a joke. They know absolutely nothing about IRS tax law or filing taxes. They lie and say the department of education is requesting more information when the department of education states they have not requested anything at all. They request that you refile your taxes and LIE about your living situation to meet what they think you should put down. Sorry but I am not going to commit a federal crime to satisfy what Strayer thinks my tax return should say when it was filed 100% legally with CORRECT information. When I discussed this with the financial aid and told them if financial aid did not go through I would be looking for another school I was told they didn't care as they have 50,000 other students. They do not care about their students whatsoever, as long as they get money from you that is all they care about. Seriously find someplace else to attend.

Good for working adults. I began online classes at Strayer in January 2014 and graduated with my Bachelors in December 2016. The experience of returning to college after 27 years was filled with challenges. My participation with their internal social media echoed some of the reviews here: financial aid is a problem for some. I did not encounter any of the problems with financial aid (I prepared all documents on time, and when I had questions or concerns, a call to my local campus returned answers promptly). The instructors were either good or excellent; all online classes require a lot of papers to be written, and as with all college classes, there was a lot of reading assignments. This is college, after all. I would recommend Strayer to family or friends, noting to them there is a lot of work involved in pursuing a degree.

As I was reading all of the reviews below, my husband and I can only shake our heads. Reason being is due to the exact same Financial Aid problems everyone was stating below has occurred with us as well. They will continue to send papers (esp the V4 and V5 forms) stating that something is missing or the signature isn't in the correct spot (not sure how that is considering there is a line and says student signature, but OK!), or the fact that my husband signs his name at times with his middle initial for which Strayer contacts us stating that we didn't provide them his middle name, therefore we need to redo the entire registration. I mean the list goes on and on. Needless to say, finally almost towards the end of week 4 our fin aid was processed! After weeks of the back and forth.

The financial department in this school is a joke. No one there is trained to know what is required for you to successfully be verified. Employees keep your documents on their desk month and not upload them to the system, just to make sure you don't get approved. They find every reason to stop you from achieving your dream, the process is so stressful in this school that it takes away your focus on your classes. The whole financial aid team needs to be replaced, they are simply " incompetent". I will never refer a friend or family to this nightmare school. Please think twice before choosing this place.

I been with Strayer since November and since then I have fax, emailed and mail documents that are supposedly missing. The whole department has send me emails about the documents missing but when I asked who is reviewing so I can just send it to them, they refused to give me an answer or will change topics. I was suppose to be cleared by now. After 5 months of dealing with this, I got super depressed and end up failing my classes. I was a top student with 98.88 averages. I will never ever recommend Strayer to anyone. I am in the process of seeking a lawyer to sue.

I've graduated college twice, in all those years I have never been given the runaround by a finance department ever. For 3 months they found a reason not to process my financial aid. They started with a month after I was accepted to the college and into my class about 44 days and decided to ask me for my high school diploma and that's why my aid was not processed. I provided that, then it was form after form, week after week. I've never been so stressed going to school, I could barely focus on my classes which are now out and I still have issues. This is the worst school I ever attended. The financial aid department is a joke and I do not plan on just sitting back letting them put me through this, neither should you!

I have been a student at Strayer in Charlotte, NC for 3 years. I have 4 classes left to graduate. I must say my experience at this University has been awesome. I came to Strayer from a community college where I felt as if I was just a number. I did not receive the attention to my specific education goals as I do at Strayer and this was one of the major community colleges here in Charlotte. I have been in amazed at some of the reviews I have read regarding Stayer. I have not had any issues regarding my financial aid. I am a working adult with a family who has totally relied on loans to pay for my education.

I see all of the reviews on here about Strayer and I have to say that you have to make the school. It does not make you. What I mean is that when you attend a college, university or a business school you have to take charge and do the work. I do not depend on the school to take care of anything for me unless I am having issues with a professor or something.

The whole finance department need to be replace. No one is accurate with their information. I started in April. My school was giving me a hard time for my diploma. When I received my documents, Strayer kept saying I am missing some papers? So I completed the paperwork, one week later they e-mail and stated the papers was filled out wrong. So I had the finance department on the phone along with my school adviser. The finance department told me what to do while I'm in my adviser's office. Two week later they told me it was wrong. So they told me to go back to the school and fill it out again. I told the finance department, it is hard for me to go to the school. I do not have a vehicle, and I don't have no one at this time to take me to the school. That girl in the finance department told me "Oh well, then I guess you just won't be able to take care of your paperwork. I can't help you, this is your future not mine."

I've been striving to attend school again. So I chose Strayer. Started on Jan 2. and everything was ok. I turned in all the documents I needed for FA right. Well I had a verification process which I needed to get documents for. Which was easy. I called and asked if they needed both parents' tax returns or just my mother's. Ashley ** from huntersville Nc campus said "just your mother's". Turned it in. BAM. FA said they needed my father's as well. Ok. Got my father's uploaded it online. Did my V4/V5 verification submitted as well. BUT I DIDN'T TURN THAT IN. Because the FA officer that helped me named Marcella ** turned it in for me. Then just when or after I turned in everything that needed to be turned in like they had requested and I thought I was done. THEY MESSAGE ME SAYING I was missing page numbers on the bottom of a page. I know for sure the tax returns didn't have any numbers on anything.

I've been attending Strayer for 2 years. I don't like online classes because it's more work than on campus. Strayer never changes course assignment which cause a conflict when submitting assignments. They always come back plagiarized. The instructor's quick to say "You copied another student's work." I've been thinking about transferring to another university.

Just so you all know. I somehow maintained my grades and the honor roll for 2015-2016. Even though my dad was on hospice and my instructor copped an attitude because hospice didn't have internet. Hospice is not a hotel. He was sent there to die in the VA facility of his choice. He is no longer there by the way. I had to inform the Ambassador of the Bookstore of how a book voucher works. He didn't know what that was?? I am constantly having issues with financial aid because no one knows anything. It has been horrific. I have had some decent instructors. I do have the President on speed dial. He gave me information to contact him if I had anymore issues and I did.

The campus in Henrico, VA WILL NOT STOP CALLING ME. I had enrolled in August of 2016, and after reading all of the reviews, I immediately dropped. My classes weren't even close to starting, so they shut me down and it was done. Now, for the past 2 weeks, this girl Molly at Strayer calls me every single day. I call back, she does not answer. I've left numerous messages asking her to stop calling me, I've said that I don't go to school there, I have no interest in going to school there and still she calls. Don't even express interest in this place. They are the least helpful when enrolling, even less once you're already enrolled, and not at all when you need to drop classes. Avoid at all costs, and change your number if they have it.

I am extremely upset with Strayer. I busted my butt getting back into school and they made it real easy, which made me even more happy. I was doing great in my online classes only to be dropped from them two days ago because my high school transcripts had not been "scanned in." I asked why and it was because "the records department has a higher than usual amount of transcripts to scan in, they get to them in the order they were received." So... my transcripts are in THEIR office, but I have to suffer because they aren't moving fast enough??

I had surgery, and I was under doctor care when classes started back. After my follow up appointment, I thought it would be necessary to stop by Strayer next to Kaiser to inform them of my recover status. I communicated to Dean Sharnee ** that it will take longer than two weeks to recover. I needed financial aid to get the resources to get through my online class. Given information from Mr. ** (financial aid advisor) I had to be in school by the fourth week to obtain financial aid, so I took a chance and reported to class. I did not think about the consequences at the time because taking an online class, you need the internet and I needed financial aid to help with that resource. July 18, 2016, I went to class, and attended the town hall meeting. During the meeting, there were staff handing out pizza to students as they walk inside the meeting. While sitting, I noticed that my classmates had left, so I headed back to class.

I have been going here over a semester, I was so excited because I was finally going to be able to go to school and work at the same time. I did very well and was excelling in all my classes with As and Bs from the Summer to the Fall term but I just received a phone call from this campus saying I cannot continue due to no longer being on the Reimbursement plan from my former employer. I emailed Krystal, who was supposedly my advisor but never seemed to reply to any emails or phone calls from me, months ago that I no longer worked at that job and found a new one and wanted to make sure that I could set up a payment plan. I was always told at the front desk that she would 'call me back', she never did.

It is sad to see so many bad reviews on Strayer. I have taken 15 classes so far with the Strayer and I plan to continue on to my masters degree after I graduate this summer. I use government benefits, so I do not deal with the financial aid aspect of Strayer. But the staff has always been very pleasant and easy to work with and they always keep me in the loop when there are changes within the schedule. It has been smooth sailing for me these past few months, I am a 4.0 student working very hard to get my bachelors degree. I would recommend Strayer to my friends, in fact I have already recommended it to two friends and I have made many friends in school.

I would never in my life refer anyone to come to strayer university. When I first came to Strayer I was pumped and ready to begin my last journey at college with my master's and I'm sorry I ever came to this school. First admissions put me in the wrong course and still didn't rectify the problem until a week later only because I kept harassing them to do so. This semester will be over December 13 and I have yet to receive my financial aid because clearly upper management don't know with they are doing. I just got my bachelor's in August of 2016 and the only change was that I stop work study so they didn't even have much to do... So what the hell is the problem. The steps and processes are ridiculous and needs to be changed, but in the end I'm transferring to another college because I definitely can't deal with this ** fa real.

The main issue I have with Strayer University, is their trustworthiness. It seems that leaving out pertinent information is the norm with this business, and when it comes to financial aid, just forget about it! Strayer is definitely in the market for making money, more than what is required for an educational institution. They prey on mature working adults that desire a degree, an education and the opportunity to advance in life. They make it easy for working adults to see the so called benefits of their programs due to the fact that they have mastered online classes, which is a major plus for working adults, that normally do not work nine to five. However, just because you make getting a degree appear easy, it's actually more of an encumbrance when dealing with this institution.

Admissions had no issues to start me in classes... however, at the end of the semester they tell me they need my driver's license and high school transcript. I provide it to them within 3 days, and they come back telling me that it's unacceptable as I made changes to it. Absolutely absurd... I forwarded them the email from the school. My transcript is from 1984 from a small school with 84 students in the class, everything was handwritten back then. Now they want to tell me my student loans are not going to go through. They need to start talking before actually registering people.

I went to this school for my Associate degree. I have enough credits for the degree with high honors (3.85 GPA). I never missed a quarter and always put in full effort. Things were fine until the final quarter when I was waiting for my final stipend check. When I never received it, I contacted them about it. I found out that they made a mistake and sent the funds that were meant to cover my current quarter as my stipend check the previous quarter. Due to this, my final quarter wasn't paid for. The financial advisor agreed with me that it wasn't my fault that this happened and I shouldn't be held responsible. No one took the time to contact me about the mistake, which I don't have proof but am pretty sure they knew about right away. To top it off, they didn't even request enough to cover the final quarter.

This all started back in the Spring of 2015 when I first inquired about if I could obtain a second master's degree in accounting but in a different concentration. After some researching I was told from the registrar that there should not be a problem with me getting another degree under accounting with a different concentration. I checked with financial aid and found that I would be able to pay for the classes I need with the remaining student loans I was able to take from the Department of Education. I enrolled and completed the 5 courses within a year and a half. Here I am waiting for my Second Master's Degree to come in the mail. I have note the accomplishment on my resume and have sent this around to 100s of potential employers.

I was in constant contact with the office in reference to my financial aid and registering for classes. Left at least 8 to 10 messages for two different individuals and sent emails but somehow when it came time for them to contact me back, they had the wrong phone number and email address on file. Even when I spoke with someone they never bothered to verify my contact information until I asked what information they had on file for me. Again, every time that I left a voicemail I made sure to leave a contact number and my signature on my emails have my phone number under it. Now it's too late to sign up for the fall semester and now I have to wait until January. Also, when I signed up for financial aid, I was told that there was no further information needed but somehow I'm not getting a refund because something is "needed" but no one has been in contact with me to tell me what is needed. I'm so disappointed!

I worked as an Admissions Officer for one of Strayer's local campuses in the early 2000's. At that time, my job was to explain the school, gain transcripts from the students for verification of past education, and to help them understand the process. That may have also included passing the students on to the Financial Aid process.

Funny you have success coaches, but they never call. Only time I got a quick response was when I decided to withdraw. Financial aid counselors who instead of counseling, blow their steam off on innocent students, and student complaints that get routed back to the person you initially filed it on. No one's on the same page at the columbia sc campus and their only interest is to get you excited to start school on a partially legit basis then have you find out later in the quarter you're not eligible for FA. After busting you butt in a class already. And now I have a balance because I was administratively dropped by a teacher who didn't keep adequate roll. Which I think was a set up to have me pay since I wanted to leave. Terrible experience!!

Strayer University is awful. DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL! If you have a problem, you will be given the runaround. Your instructor will not call you back or respond to your emails. Do not take a class with **. He basically said, "I am the instructor. You are the student. Do it my way or flunk the course." The Dean, the Vice President of Student Affairs, and the President of the Institution were no help. The "success" coach you are assigned is a joke. Do not go into debt trying to get a degree from this joint. The institution is laughable, at best.

After reading the many reviews from the last couple of years; I was APPALLED to see such unsatisfied ratings. As an alumni student for both my Bachelor's and Master's degree in 2006 and 2011, Strayer University provided me with good services! From my financial aid to knowledgeable instructors, there were very minimal issues that I experienced. Is there any official monitoring these reviews to work towards improving these complaints generally by students who are paying their money (loan money is student money because it must be paid back)? I am preparing my young adult daughter who recently graduated from High School to attend Strayer and certainly WOULD NOT want her first experience to be a BAD one!

I have met some great people and great professors while completing my Masters degree with Strayer. Unfortunately, I had an instructor. Charles ** that completely disregarded any communication or attempts to assist with my classwork. I included the Dean and my Campus and several other students. Created tickets explaining the lack of correct grading and communication or lack thereof with this professor. I implore you to steer clear of this instructor and UNDERSTAND that Strayer will NOT help if an instructor gives you an erroneous grade. You can have as much evidence and show that you did the right thing, and no one, not even the Dean can help. This is coming from a career 4.0 student with a tremendously hard work ethic. Steer clear of his class and attend this university at your own risk. But keep in mind they sure did not say anything about getting paid for the same class twice. Smh.

I have attend Strayer for three years. My experience have been great and the people at the NRC was super. Erica ** my success coach has guided me and I can truly say the plan she put in place worked. She informed at end of the last quarter that I have satisfied the requirement for my associate degree and if I want to get it what I have to do even I am still pursuing my Bachelor's degree. I went paid the fee and was told it take four to six weeks for my degree to arrive at my home. This was done on July 6, 2016 and on yesterday July 23, 2016 my degree arrive at my home. She also told me I have a right to attend a Graduation and I should to celebrate the hard work that been put to obtain my Associate degree.

Strayer University is the worse school in america!!! I highly recommend anyone who is looking into different schools to further your education please do not attend Strayer... The faculty is very unprofessional & can be very rude & it's a crying shame how unorganized they are & when it comes to your financial aid they will put a hold on you... I had this problem & still in the process now of everything being cleared because 2 months prior to me starting school the documents they claim I need now were needed 2 months ago!!! Why wait until I get in my 3rd week of school to tell me this & now I have a hold on my account because the faculty not doing their job properly? After this semester I will be transferring to a better school!!!

I am suppose to graduate in the Fall of this year 2016. I was approved by the Department of Education for the full amount of my loans. Well needless to say I received an email of the disbursements that I was approved for, but I logged into my account and seen that Strayer's Financial Department had 'Prorated' my amount. They didn't notify me on this situation so I called the Department of ED and they told me "This is not our policy." It was the school who I would need to notify, so I did spoke with at least five people regarding this dilemma. When I asked, 'What will happened to the money that was prorated?' They stated, 'It will be as if you didn't use it.' HUH? I will pursue my Bachelor's and hopefully my Master's. This will not stop me, but I will not pursue at Strayer. That is a fact. THANK YOU STRAYER FOR THIS. LESSON LEARNED.

I registered for class. After finding out that I didn't have enough FA to go to school and that I had to pay out of pocket I asked to be withdrawn from the school and the class. Needless to say they never withdrew me and someone logged into the class under me for a whole 8 days. I went back in to review my tickets that I created way last summer in order to prove that I asked for my funding to be sent back and showing that I asked them to explain how I could get charged for a class that I never attended and the tickets have all been deleted by Strayer. I contacted the Campus Director Jean and she informed me that I went to class for at least 8 days and that made me go pass the quarter of withdrawn so they are charging my $920 and they are holding my transcripts and is causing me not to be able to attend another school. I have yet to hear back from her and like I told her I don't know who went to class under my name but it was not me.

Attending the MBA program online and it's been nothing but trouble since the very beginning. Now that I have less than 3 classes to graduation, the financial aid department informs me that my funds are on hold for review. Fine, no problem. I waited the full week as instructed and still saw no change. I call the office and was informed that the funds were still being "worked out." Long story short, my funds had been cut substantially compared to the past semesters. I was lied to several times before I got a straight answer.

I had some family trouble and wasn't able to continue with school. My intentions were to withdraw and preserve my GPA and get back into classes as soon as possible, needless to say life had other plans. I had to leave school, being a single mother all while working and helping to support a father who had just suffered a stroke. It goes without saying, not on purpose, but my loans went into default. So I call them and say "hey what do I do to get back in good standing so I can complete my education??" The customer service lady says "set up a small payment plan is all you got to do." Just nine consecutive payments and bam you can go for funding!! Liar, liar, pants on fire. Now I owe more money (wth!!!) to financial AID. Now someone tell me what to do!!

I have been attempting to obtain my transcripts from Strayer to attend another University for my Masters. Much to my surprise, Strayer is holding my transcripts claiming that I still owe them money. I have been out of school for six years!!! If I owed you money, why am I now only hearing something about it??? Strayer received over $60000 from me and financial aid...hmmm. I'm warning all to stay away from this school. They are nothing but a bunch of scammers and want nothing but your money! I am so very disappointed in Strayer for this and they should be ashamed of themselves!

If you have the Post 9/11 GI Bill Run for your life! I attended school for about 3 weeks and applied 2 months before I started. Strayer would not send my information to the certifying official at the VA, no matter that I sent the necessary paperwork in advance to the VA. They wanted me to send them my paperwork and THEN they would contact the VA. That's not how it works. I don't think they even have a certifying official. I dropped out via email (the local campus shut down that was when I started catching on to this school). I dropped before the last day and they still charged me around $2500. It hit my credit report. I've saved my emails to the school and they haven't really helped me get out of this situation. If there is a class action lawsuit I need to get in on it. This school is super shady.

I enrolled in this university. Before classes started I requested to be dropped. They refused to drop me and told me I needed to contact my instructor. I contacted my instructors via Blackboard. After I got no response in a timely manner through email they told me that since I entered into Blackboard I was not drop from the classes and they are holding my transcript for nonpayment on an account but I have financial aid. Why do I always Strayer?

I thought about enrolling here but throughout the enrollment process something very fishy. I was transferring from a top tier University which was too expensive to continue attending. After getting through the "application" process something seemed very strange to me that they needed me to test into English and Math curriculum despite my already taking and passing these classes at another University. I made mention of this and then was told to fax over a copy of my high school diploma; I did but asked, "Did you review my college transcripts?" The response, "No we do not need them yet. You're accepted. Congratulations."

I am homeless and I don't have any financial aid to make it to school. I overdraft on my account several times just to catch the train to attend class. I slept outside for many nights after attending classes from 6pm to 10pm. I am a 4.0 student, and I refuse to allow my academic transcripts to reflect a bad grade due to the inability of Strayer University to disburse my financial aid payments and refunds and a timely and reasonable manner. You have already received my grant funding but the Department of Education has already informed me that Strayer University would need to fill out the deferment letter showing that I am attending classes there. Your staff representatives have already informed me via voicemail message that they have made a departmental error with respect to my 2014 transcripts, Independent verification form, Entrance Counseling, and Master Promissory Note.

I have been attending Strayer for about 2 years now and when it comes to my grades, I am still maintaining a 4.0. The issues come into play when it come to Financial Aid. I have never dealt with people who can't tell you what is going on with your finances. It has even at one point taken me 2 1/2 to receive my refund and I was already into another term. I don't understand how a school can do this and then feel like they don't have to give you an explanation. In all reality the students are the ones that have to pay this money back but yet they treat it like they have to pay it back. Had I know this was going to be a continuing issue when I am always told it will never happen again I would have been left. I will be transferring to a better university when this term is over. This school seems to bring the student down instead of helping them. When it comes to my academic counselor I have not heard from her since my first week. (Not surprising!)

Strayer has been giving me the same runaround with my financial aid. I have given them everything they needed for 3 semesters. Yet, now they are saying I owe money. Wow. If anyone on here have advice for me and how to get this resolve please let me know. This school is no good. Someone keeps sending messages on the message box on my iCampus, I keep asking their information and they fail to give it to me but they keep giving me a difficult time with getting my Pell Grant. Seems mighty weird to me. I need help with getting this school in trouble.

I would highly recommend Strayer University. The registration process was very easy, and I worked with one of the entrance counselors to make sure I had everything I needed. I'm currently attending the San Antonio, TX campus and everyone who helped me get enrolled and on the right path was great! I have had no issues with financial aid or the Strayer billing department. In fact, it went so smoothly that I sent an email just to make sure everything was in place because of all the negative comments I read about the financial department.

Strayer University has become a racket and scam. They just put in a loan to the federal government and had money distributed to them under my name. I never authorized them to do this and never attended this so called school.

Simple... You get out of it = What you put into it!!! If you want to learn the subject matter, you are supported by knowledgeable instructors that have extremely impressive resumes. (PERSONAL IMPRESSION) It is almost like the instructors are working with the pretense that all students should pass (Good customer service, right?) but, every instructor was more than willing to instill the subject matter to the students that wanted to walk away with the information that they needed.

I recently graduated Oct 2015 from Strayer U. I used my GI Bill for Strayer U which paid for my diploma fee on October 1st. I was informed that it normally takes about 6 weeks to receive. I really did not have any issues with Strayer U and I had a good experience there in most cases and expressed the good deeds as well. This situation with the diploma is ridiculous and as I contacted SU the first time was told that "Yes, I see your diploma was order/submitted (whichever term you want to use) on October 1st and it'll take 4 to 6 weeks from October 1st. Fine. I waited until the day before the last day of that 6-week process and called back and the service center at SU stated that I have one day until my 6 weeks is up which was a Thursday and was told if I do not get it the following day (Friday) to call back.

After my experience with Strayer I should have gone to a school locally, but because of my work schedule and other circumstances I stayed. Financial aid is totally messed up. I received a refund of 7,665.00, that is right. And I inquired about this refund twice and was told by Strayer financial aid office that I had funding left for two more class which is what I need to graduate. Now I am told that I owe Strayer 3,457 dollars from the Spring semester, which the refund came from. Question, why would you not take out what was owed out of the refund, and wait until the winter semester to say I owe so much money, really? And the sad part is it is blamed on the board of education. HA! That is a good one. Students beware and when you call to talk to someone they are so negative.

I am a student who recently obtained my Associates working towards a Bachelors in Business. This last semester after twice speaking to staff to be ready for upcoming classes, was told I was ready to go/enrolled. I went to start classes and was told I was not enrolled, called staff at Strayer back to see why I wasn't enrolled and was told because I never enrolled. I had to go through the enrollment process all over again for the third time, putting me a week behind in my classes. They are really good about throwing wrenches in your career goals. Is it purposefully? I don't think so, but these kinds of mistakes cannot be tolerated when it can mean the difference between an A or a B in your classes/education.

I recently learned Strayer University took out over $8,000 in student loans in my name. I inquire about their Criminal Justice program but registered or attended any classes. I have left numerous messages with the financial aid department with no return calls yet. This is outrageous and they need to be stopped. I filed a complaint with the department of education and FSA Ombudsman. Why is this school still in business???

I have attended a couple Community Colleges, Air Force technical school, and UMUC before going to Strayer Univ. and I can tell you that Strayer is the worst place I have gone to. I am currently a few quarters away from finishing up an Undergraduate degree in what is supposed to be a Bachelor's of Science degree in IT Internetworking, when, in fact, the degree is more of a Liberal Arts degree and they know it from the get-go. The academic advisors will lie to you about their IT degrees being a Hands-on training program, when they know they are not. Do Not even bother asking them, as they only want to get paid for doing their job of getting you into the school they work for. Even speaking with a Director of a campus (who is a former Project Manager in IT) admitted that writing is essential in every degree program at this school, where open-book tests are not the main focus of learning.

I would not even consider this school. I never attended one single class and I am now being charged $535 when I told the lady who I dealt with that I was not going to be able to attend this semester. She told me which I have never heard before, that I would be charged a $20 no show fee. Normally, schools will have you pay upfront, with them this is not the case. I am now being harassed and called non stop by debt collectors saying I owe them money that I don't. I am not paying for classes that I never went to. They are also saying I bought books as well, which I never did. I would not sign up for this school because all they care about is money.

I started Strayer University to pursue a Bachelors degree June 10, 2015. I went to the school at the North Campus located in Concord, NC for registration. While at the school, I completed my enrollment and signed the necessary paperwork so Strayer University could obtain a copy of my high school transcript. The gentleman that did my enrollment gave me a handshake and said, "Welcome to Strayer University," and informed me that everything has been completed.

We do not recommend anyone to attend Strayer University, at any location. The Financial department complains at the beginning of every quarter that you have ran out of funds and you need to pay them directly. We did not fall for it, so they eventually gave up after a few weeks of harassment. When you ever have a question or concern, don't bother to call, they will never return your calls. If you were lucky enough to get someone on the phone never let them go, because you will never hear from them again.

If you are thinking of attending Strayer, you should be aware of the High costs of their books that you can only get from them. They change books every other quarter or so. This does not allow students to obtain used books very often. The bookstore is a call center only! Don't expect any information! After 6 call about a book, I still have no answers. They do not know the difference between the 2 different ISBN numbers on the books. They have no information on the book I need that is 217.00. No author, Edition, publisher etc. So, I am unable to even find the book elsewhere. I am taking my last 2 classes in a week, and I am done with Strayer. And their online classes have some professors that are a joke! They do not handle things professionally or return calls.

I did not know that Strayer University is a for-profit business! Had I known this was the case, I would have applied to a not for profit online College, and probably would not have the astronomical loans I have. Strayer makes you take so many electives that cost money. They make you pay for your own books because you run out of all available monies because of these electives. Another thing is when I brought up that they were too expensive and I was going to a not-for-profit online university, my payment went from the $1,000 to $88. Of course books were WAY WAY higher.. if you can, steer clear the for-profit universities LIKE Strayer. They find ways to take as much money off you as they can until you wise up and all of a sudden it's the end of your courses with them for your degree.

Strayer University have messed up my account since I started going. They have told me that my funding has ran out after they assured me that I had enough. I am down to my last 5 classes and was told that I cannot enroll until I get a private loan to pay for school. Strayer is not for the students, they are about the money. Strayer has not owned responsibility for any of their mistakes with students accounts. This school is a money scheme and if anyone is told to go they need to turn the other way and find a new school. I am so disappointed with this school with all the mistakes they have done since I started and not once anyone from Strayer fixed any issues, they left it up to me to figure out.

After finishing my associate degree in Business Administration, I started searching for jobs with no success. I used to get jobs easily, but after my degree with Strayer, they do not want to hire me! That is too much of a coincidence! I recommend a community college, then transfer to a local university. Online colleges are still no guaranteed success for your future career!

Don't waste your time or money. I worked there for several years as an Admissions Officer. The organization's main focus is recruiting more and more students. The bottom line is they're more concerned with making money, than helping students achieve educational goals. They eventually fired me for not recruiting enough students. Again, they have goals based on the expectation that you MUST recruit a number of students each month/quarter. They demand you meet this goal (# of students) or they threaten your employment.

I graduate in 2014. The school is very expensive. Financial was running low and eventually was completely exhausted. I cut cost by attending the community college classes and an online class site Straighterline.com. I had these credits transferred over. Remember Strayer only accepts so many transfer credits. Straighterline is testing. The final test is complete in front of a proctor. If you pass all the other test it does not matter about the final. The classes are so inexpensive... 150.00. The books can be found online for little to nothing. It has certain classes. Choose your classes wisely. I took classes like history and electives there. Classes I knew I needed one on one aid with I took at Strayer. Also when I knew I could I take a lot of online classes from Strayer I would.

I attended Strayer University Lithonia campus majoring in Accounting. My accounting professor was very unprofessional. She walked around the class with tissue stuck up her nose, and very impatient with students when we ask for help or had a question about course work. I came to the conclusion that this woman had some drug habit. I failed my class and I went to the dean and told him my concerns. I didn't mention that I felt like she was using drugs, but I ask the dean did they have another professor because I felt like that professor wasn't passionate about teaching. The dean told me that she was the only Accounting professor and that he think I should change my major to Accounting to Business with concentration in accounting. I was very upset when he ask me to change my major because he made me feel like I wasn't capable of majoring in accounting.

This school is never to be trusted. I went to this school! In the spring they have it where I signed papers in 2011. I said that is a lie. I never attended because I was in college elsewhere! They gave me financial aid and later took it away! Now the school giving me a lot of problems. They want me to send documents that's already been sent three months ago. I stated I will contact higher authorities because this is Pointless. This school cares about money. I had a refund took it back and now saying I owe them three thousand dollars! WTH! I will contact my attorney. Once you sign on it's time for you to get a refund. Oh yea there my Pell Grant. ** you Strayer Univ.

I enrolled in Strayer at the little rock, AR campus 10/2014. I asked to be directed to disability service. I later found out I have a success coach. I requested to be withdrawn. My success coach give my request ticket to financial aid. She said I had to pay $500.00 to drop both classes I never attended. I never responded to her email or to any classes when I enrolled to my new school. Strayer wouldn't give me my transcript because never withdrew me. They said I talked to them and said I was going to stay in school. Well I didn't. I owe them $2000 for two classes, laptop, books but they received a $1200 loan that I have to pay back so why do I owe them full cost if they kept my loan? What did my loan cover? OK so I was told that the $1300 pell grant that the federal government gave me is the reason that they are keeping my loan.

Very poor school. Was told one thing then they did another and I was stuck. Even with proof I was lied to, the school charged me hundreds of dollars. Not to mention the online portion was down half the time and I was told I had to go into campus. Not an option. Look elsewhere, you will run out of student funds and you will be stuck. They will hold transcripts hostage till you repay a ridiculous amount for a fundamental course you are not even able to take. The people are rude and nasty once they get your aid money.

I signed up for Strayer in 2010. Not really knowing what I wanted to do but possibly accounting. A representative from Nashville campus contacted which I thought was odd because I live in Knoxville. I told her I was thinking about accounting but not sure. She assured me it was a good field and I would be fine. I signed up for online classes. Well I wasn't fine. I barely passed accounting. I had no help from the campus. I failed math 4 times online. I kept asking them if there was any help and received no help. After the 4th time of failing math someone from the Knoxville campus finally got in touch with me to switch my campus and change my major. I graduated with an associates degree. I have over 60k in student loans and no job prospects. I can't go to another school because my loans are maxed out. I could have gone to a community college for a fraction of the cost. Strayer only cares about the money. I wish I had done my research.

I attended Strayer University from 2009 till 2013. I noticed each semester Strayer was increasing tuition and adding different technology fees. This was my first time attending college, so I was unsure if I would have a problem later with finances. In 2013 I was contacted by Student Services telling me that I had ran out of financial aid. The problem I have is now I'm stuck with 70k of student loans but I have no degree. Strayer started offering new students no tuition increase in 2014. Strayer what about all the students y'all duped out of their financial aid and we're now stuck with debt and no degrees. This practice is ridiculous and Strayer needs to be fined and made to pay back all the student's debt from 2009 because people lives are at stake. My understanding is financial aid is allotted for students over a 4 year span ensuring students will have appropriate finances to graduate.

I have been with Strayer for 3 years now and am down to my last two classes in my Bachelors in Criminal Justice. It has been a struggle to manage the demands of classes, a 2 year old, a wife, 50+ hour job -- but it has been very satisfying. I will admit, I have had some flops for student advisers, but currently have a good one. This school is challenging and if you don't put forth effort and comprehend that the grades aren't given to you, well you're not going to succeed.

I hate this school. They have ** me constantly about my financial aide. Every time I call, there has been an excuse to hold my funds. They even told me they received my transcript and I failed a part of my GED when I just recently lost my official copy of my diploma. What the ** are they doing holding somebody's money? I would not recommend this school to anyone and I am withdrawing as soon as this semester is over.

I was attending Strayer University in Charlotte, NC back in 2012. I was into my 3rd year for my Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. I called financial aid to verify that I had plenty of financial aid available before the beginning of the term that I was about to begin. I have it on a voice machine recording where the financial aid office called me and told me that I had nothing to worry about. That, yes, I had plenty of financial aid funding left. Well, weeks after the term began, I receive yet another phone call saying that I had used up all of my available funding and that I would have to get "Private Funding".

I attended Strayer from 2011-2012. I moved from Houston to Atlanta in July to 2012. I tried to enroll with the campus here in Chamblee, they said I couldn't enroll and start class because I owe 1,000, so I said forget it and enrolled in Capella in Oct 2012. Somehow I get my loan info for repayment and I owe 14,000 for a class I never took in October and a class I never took in January 2013.

The first issue I had with strayer university (in small letters on purpose) was they charged me for a class I never attended. Although the teacher of that course said she had never met or knew me and I have proof of being in a classified government facility at the time, they still thought I should pay for the class. The next time I was signing up to take a class which would go towards my degree at two schools. The admissions person led me to believe I could take courses at two separate universities at the same time and the VA would pay for it. She did not inform me that both classes had to be transferable back to the parent school. If that were the case and had I known this little bit of information, I would not have taken the second class.

When Strayer University contacted me about pursing Master's Degree, I thought this was a wonderful university, but was soon disappointed. I was not able to get one of my transcripts even though I had just graduated with an Associate Degree from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I still cannot understand why I was being charged over $800 when I never got the chance to complete any coursework. Strayer has sent a charge of $893 to a collection agency. Now that I see all of the complaints online, this is a pattern with this university. Now my credit is ruined. I intend to file a complaint with the president of this university, Dr. Plater and the Better Business Bureau.

After being told I would be able to make payments on the remaining balance (one course) after my graduation, Strayer sent my account to collections without notice. I arranged to make payments on a monthly basis. I kept those arrangements and received notice from a collection agency demanding payment in full. I contacted the local campus who denied sending the account to collections and suggested I contact the corporate office. The corporate office (after over a month of unreturned email and voicemail messages) informed me they could "legally pull the account from the collection agency."

In December 2014 I earned my MBA at Strayer with a 3.9 GPA. I am very satisfied with the quality of the professors and the curriculum at Strayer. However, I have a few issues open that Strayer has not helped me resolve to date: (1) In all of the classes but one I received an "A" grade. In Finance I missed an A by less than 1 point. At that time I was a caregiver for my aging father who has since passed away. I missed one class because my father fell. I was in class when a call came from my neighbor and I had to rush home. The following week my sister had lost her fight with cancer and I had to drive from Florida to North Carolina. As a result, I missed two classes back to back. Although the professor gave me credit for one class that I missed he would not give me credit for the next one. I didn't argue with him about his decision because at that time I was only about half way through my MBA (yes my fault).

I signed up for the MBA program with an entrance coach who was shortly fired thereafter. He did not instruct me on how Strayer handles the online courses but I was excited to get started and figured I could figure it out on my own. WRONG! I reached out to my professor 1 week before class started in order to make sure I could stay ahead of the game and get some reading done. Well, the book was not located or displayed in the book store. In response to my email the professor responded using webpage jargon and when I asked for clarification she responded with impatience and sarcasm. Finally, 2 weeks after the course started I got her on the phone and she told me not to worry as I could get caught up. I was thoroughly disgusted but I DO NOT QUIT. I turned in a 7 page paper, an 8 page paper, a 14 page paper and completed numerous discussions and videos.

Yes, I also attend Strayer University and was told the same thing. My money is about to run out. I have worked so hard and about to leave with nothing??!! I have been a student who has held a grade point average above 3.0 since I started in 2012 and no grad points or there's nothing no one can do for me. I also asked about a Associate's degree and I have not heard any responses; other than "I have to check" or "I have not heard anything yet," "Even though you have been here when we had that program they may not acknowledge that."

Well let me start off stating that I am almost out of funding to complete my Degree. I've been in touch with the success coaches about this situation as well as student affairs and the Dean of my campus. I was told that all I need to complete my Associates Degree instead of Bachelor's Degree is two classes. In which I have signed up for those two classes that is needed to complete my studies, after being told by Dean they will not honor my request. I feel that is unfair and just to me as student who has been loyal to this school. They will not honor the grad points due to it being in placed in 2013. I do understand that I started in 2012.I am willing not to worry about those points. But still no positive results.

I am a current student at Strayer University and I first would like to say even though my math class was horribly set up my teacher was great. She was kind, patient, very helpful in students passing her class. I must say and student that required to take a math course and think they will struggle, run quickly, don't take math course here. It's all computer base and will be overwhelming for both student and teacher. I am use to the black board and math problems covered. That how I passed math before. Hope this helps someone stay positive.

I'm sooo HAPPY to say I'm now POSITIVELY ENROLLED @ Argosy University YIPEEE!!! I should have known by the name of the school (Strayer) what kind of name is that? Without the er at the end it's STRAY and that's EXACTLY how all of the financial aid department/admissions department and success coaches behave - like STRAYS on the streets forgetting what they are SUPPOSED to be doing!!! I must say the teachers are getting a BAD RAP because the rest of the system HORRIBLY SUCKS!

Strayer does not take care of its business their degree unless you are in an area that is concentrated with businesses that graduated from this school will not hold water. There were some good professors but if you contest a grade you are stuck. There is no support from the figureheads in administration. Stop leading people astray Strayer. Your degree is not going anywhere. By the way I graduated Magna Cum Laude and did the work. I graduated quite a while ago and see that my increased tuition every semester benefited bringing on high paying people that don't mind reading scripted false promises. Do your homework!

At first Strayer sounded pretty legit, but after I started school they refused to contact the VA even though I had submitted the proper paperwork. They wanted me to submit the Change of School request directly to Strayer but that is not how it works...You submit that document to the VA. I was getting more and more leery of the shady practices Stayer was using to get my GI Bill benefits. So I submitted an email requesting to drop out and they waited until the deadline to confirm so they could, through paperwork, have me on the hook.

I became a student at Strayer back in June of 2014 when I began working for Verizon Wireless. Because I was an employee, I was told that I would be able to take Strayer classes at my job. I, later, wanted to become a full time student and was told that I would be able to do so by switching to the main campus but I would still be able to use my Verizon tuition. I was then told that I can apply for a 2014-2015 Pell Grant to cover my summer class. Now this was INCORRECT. Summer term must be covered under 2015- 2016 terms. So I said, fine, I'll go and apply again.

I was very dissatisfied with Strayer University. I enrolled in Strayer University in 2007. Due to a job offer, I no longer wanted to attend their school; I couldn't because my classes were in the morning, and I worked first-shift. I contacted my recruiter, and stated to him that I would not be able to attend. He asked if I was sure, and said Ok. About a month later, I received a letter stating that I owed a 'No Show' fee. I was mad. I called and didn't ever speak back to him. I was given the runaround, and never finalized the issue. I accept the blame for waiting so late to handle this issue, but now that I am ready to return to school, I am unable because this fee is forever on my record. I NEVER went to any of the classes, and still owe.

I attended Strayer University in Fort Lauderdale campus for 2 semester. Because I did not have any source of income, I was calling and email asking the reason why I did not received the student refund right after the 5th week of attending to classes. They did not answer my calls, they always transfer me to customer service, then to financial aid. One class night, one their office staff called to sign a affidavit paper saying that in order to process the financial aid, I have to bring translated my high school diploma from my country. But I was told that they will do send the diploma to be translated for me in order to get the paperwork done quickly, that the process will take about 2 weeks, then I will get the refund. Then after calling and sending email to financial aid department, nothing works until I enroll to the second semester. I decided to take the classes online, a lot of things happens to me that I couldn't attended and finish the courses.

I just started up again at Strayer after becoming a full-time single parent 10 years ago. I was pleased to find out they had a program in line with my interests. So I changed my major and set up a 2 year graduation plan. The first class was great. What has thrown me for a loop is their process for evaluating my certifications. The certs are current and related to my studies. I was told this would cut down the amount of classes I am required to take. It's been over 4 months since I submitted the information. During that time, they lost my request twice. The help desk has been unresponsive on the third attempt (I give the dean props for at least trying to follow up). I have applied to some other schools and they seem to be able to complete it much faster. They even have individuals specialized in evaluating this kind of information (possibly bigger institutions?).

While attending and approximately 50% complete with a bachelor's in IT systems management, I changed my major and swapped one class in order to align to my new major. Strayer University swapped two classes without my permission and without my knowledge until a week later. I attempted to correct the issue with my campus dean and director. Neither was able to convince Strayer University that an unrequested and unauthorized swap was bad for a student. This is exacerbated by the fact that Strayer's bookstore is an unorganized mess that every student MUST use. I received outdated corrupt software from the bookstore and I also had multiple classes with several different books for the same course. I am a veteran and Strayer is a university I would recommend to anyone.

The enormous amount of writing required critical thinking skills and an ability to correlate that information into solving problems. I am extremely grateful for Strayer University's program. I have seen many comments concerning changes to their curriculum, which resulted in having to take additional courses. I have never had an issue with curriculum changes. I have never encountered problems with tuition, refunds, or financial aid. Considering the enormous number of students enrolled compared to other universities, the complaints are minimal. Please take that into consideration when researching Strayer University. This college is for people who can demonstrate self-direction and initiative.

I have reached out to several people and finally received the help that was needed to get the issue resolved. I do think that it was terrible to have to go from person to person. Although I do love my classes I am not sure if I would like to continue on with them or go back to my previous where I feel like the student matters. Thank you to the 2 people that are truly helping me get the issue at hand fixed.

This school is for the driven. People who leave reviews with bad things to say are simply upset because they were slackers and failed out. All the teachers are responsive and help you when you contact them. The campus Dean is very approachable and the Strayer Success Coach is often in contact with you. It never hurts to be initiating contacting with them. I'm working a Masters at Strayer. I'm a fan of this school.

I have a simple story, I withdraw from Strayer a few years ago because the costs were getting to be too much. After a while I thought about just focusing on a Associates instead of a Bachelors degree. I contacted Admissions got connected to ** and he figured out I only needed 1 more class to earn a associate degree in Information systems. After countless emails back and forth to be sure that this was true because I had to pay some money out of pocket, I decided to return and take this 1 course. Just to receive a C and now learn that there is one other courses I needed to pass in order to graduate.

If I could get it nothing I would have. I was so excited about going to school online. Now looking back on it they never really explained much. My friend had attended there and so I thought it would be great. I am in my third quarter and for the most part it has been fine. Wished they had more to do. I feel bored. So, anyway, this semester I got to thinking this is really costly. Just for one class alone it’s $1775. That roughly $590 a credit. On top of that, you pay for the price of books. Plus a technology fee for both classes. And there is some charge for $377 for each class that the do not even say what it is for. So this is my third quarter and what really got me was the fact that for the last two semester I have taken two classes. I have never taken more as I can not afford it. This refund they held $477 of my money that I received an email from the government I will receive.

Strayer University in Willingboro, NJ are notifying students after they graduated that they will not have their degree conferred because of an egregious mistake they made to notify students of a change in the course curriculum that went into effect after their enrollment. I along with many students that enrolled in 2009, and graduated on December 6, 2014, was never notified of a change in the curriculum that took effect in 2010. For the four and a half years that I attended Strayer, I sat in the Administrator's office every semester to select my upcoming courses and review my credits and never once was I informed that there was a change in my course curriculum. I did not receive a letter, email, phone call, text, or any other form of communication from Strayer with regards to this.

I graduated from Strayer CC Campus in March 2014 with a GPA of 4.0 and the balance of my bill being 0 dollars. I enrolled in a doctoral program and requested a copy of my official transcript to be sent to my home and to the university on 1/5/15. Strayer took the money from my account, but has yet to send me my transcript. The doctoral program I was enrolled in kicked me out even though my GPA was 3.7 bc Strayer failed to send an official copy of my transcripts. I have spoken to the campus dean, academic and admissions dean, several folk in the financial aide main branch and still no one can explain to me why this has happened and offer a sincere enough apology. This is beyond a mere "We apologize for the inconvenience". This is criminal and embarrassing.

I am a current student with Strayer University (Columbus, GA campus). I have dropped out a couple of times during my history of shooting for my first degree; AA Business Administration. I must say the staff has always treated me super fair. After this current quarter I will have 3 classes remaining until I complete this first degree. I'm excited. Financial Aid support has been superior. Along with the other on-campus staff. I have taken online and on-campus classes with Strayer. The only thing I don't really like about Strayer is their buyback program for their textbooks. All Strayer classes use a Strayer custom edition, the Strayer bookstore does not purchase these books back at all. In order to sell them, you must sell them to other Strayer students.

I attended Strayer from Jan 2012 to Dec 2014 and always felt that it was a good school because I was able to attend online and communicate easily with the staff. I had to take my last class on campus so it was a little frustrating working full time then traveling an hour each way but I wanted to be sure to pass and walk in graduated in December, so I did it. Graduation is regionally held so I had to travel from NJ to Baltimore, take time off from work, pay for cap and gown and then I was told that there was also a degree fee. I have graduated from a community college and I have never heard of such a thing, but was told that was the only way to get my degree. I am a single mother so I didn't have the $150 right away and I paid in Feb, after receiving an email reminding me that I was late.

I had been going to Strayer University for several years while in the Military. This was the Woodbridge VA Campus. My Wife at the time and I had to go in on numerous occasions and physically sit down with the campus dean and members of their business office to point out accounting errors in their tuition processing. On the third occasion one of the business office associates told my wife at the time that perhaps she should apply for a position at strayer because she kept finding their really easy mistakes.

I enrolled and decided not to continue due to the high tuition, transfer concerns, lack of recognition by local employers. After going to a local school and registering I find out they want me to pay $2600 because I "entered" the virtual classroom. You can withdraw from a REAL school if you enter the class and leave. I hate this school.

I was excited about going back to college. Start going to Strayer online was the worst decision ever. My financial aid was not process in time cause the student consultant didn't do what they was suppose to do on they end. Then talk to president about have my account waiver. Was told that it would be done. Then about 4 months later I find out it was and when I call was told he move department and was given the run around. So my credit was screwed up cause strayer. Don't attempt to attend strayer if it's your first time deal with a online school.

I paid $20.00 and ordered (from a the campus computer! And with an administrator's assistance at that computer because their online system would not allow me to do so from home) two transcripts to be mailed two months ago and have not received them. And even with the Campus Director's supposed intervention, he could not get them delivered after a 2nd request. Nor have I received a refund which now I am counting as A THEFT because not only have I not received the transcripts, they have not refunding my money.

I attended Strayer University for seven years. I received a Bachelor's and Master's degree - have never been able to find a better-paying job during the seven years and up to now, I am laid off. After six years, I decided to go back and get a MBA - Human Resources. At the end of January, I lost my job and I thought I was caught up on my assignments - I missed two and a paper. Spoke to my Success coach - that's how I was informed - and she suggested that I make up the work and let the professor know. The professor never responded, nor even bothered to grade. Every week, he took points off of my grade. Professor refused to inform me - gave me an "F" for midterm. I told him if he was concerned about his students, he would have informed me. After that, I sent emails asking him to speak with me, contacting him by phone; then he started leaving cryptic message to me on Blackboard.

I started Strayer 3 years ago. Everything was fine until I received a letter from FAFSA saying I reached my loan limit of $57,000!! I'm like wth! How??? I'm barely into my third year and have exhausted all my loans and grants and left stuck like chuck??? No one informed me. I'm so disappointed!! A waste of time, money, and energy!! I hate this school and hate I attended!! I'm still waiting for them to give me documentation and call me back!!!

Hi, I started Strayer University October 2013. Everything was great, until the next thing I know coming into winter of 2014, I was told in a non sympathetic way, "Your tuition is short. You have to pay. Oh not sure how much yet, I'll find out for you." I then comes it scholarships without such specific links to go to and how to find up. Some students are not familiar with scholarships. When I get there, I get checked up on by front office staff as if I am not doing my work, then checking when I leave what my internet search was for two hours, no more than three. I was told in February 2015 that didn't owe any money, then an email a week later, "You been dropped." And once again, the director is so professional. She can't see past her own indiscretions or irrational ways. Now I'm dropped and have to fix this myself. A great mission statement they have.

I am a third year student at Strayer and I have had a positive experience, thus far. My professors are all experienced in the field that they were teaching, i.e. my Marketing professor worked for a marketing company, my accounting professor is a professional accountant, etc. The main draw was the non-traditional course schedule that fits with my lifestyle.

My first impression with Strayer was great. I started classes online and on campus at the Bloomington, MN site in 2012. I liked the small campus feel and, though I primarily took my classes online, I frequently visited to campus for events and to study. I became the vice president of the Business club and was excited for the opportunities offered to develop my leadership skills. I chose Strayer primarily because of the accessibility to their facilities as well as the assurance the staff gave me that they would be with me every step of the way. Like you are, hopefully, doing now I did my due diligence and checked online reviews before deciding on Strayer. I noticed that any of the complaints against them seemed to be resolved through a Strayer agent who responded to negative reviews so it seemed they cared about helping dissatisfied students.

I attended Strayer from October 2011 - September 2014. I graduated in October 2014. I attended Strayer too after losing my job back in March of 2011 in hopes of furthering my career. I have an Associate in Medical Lab Technology, an Associate in Liberal Arts and now a BA in Health Service Administration. My last semester at Strayer, I received a scholarship for $5,000 that only covered tuition. I got student loans and did self-pay. On the last day to order cap and gown for graduation I called the school to make sure I did not owe any money for anything and was told all debts was completed. So I order my cap and gown, charged $385 for reserving a suite for my family and I for graduation.

When I first started at Strayer University, it was ok. But as time went on this school has become complete garbage. The professors are not competent and really do not care about the students. All these professors care about is a paycheck. Most of them have federal jobs and businesses and don't give a ** about the students. This school sucks. It's no wonder the enrollment has dropped significantly. And at my campus, they replaced the dean. This new dean has no idea of what the hell she is doing. She has this arrogant attitude towards everything. She is the main reason why the enrollment has dropped at this location. It was said that this campus is the largest, but not any more. She has made this become the smallest campus. There are hardly any students here now. Strayer needs to fire her. As she has laid off many staff at this location.

This school is a complete joke, professors in this school don't know what they're talking about most of the time. They teach you by looking at videos. If I wanted to watch videos all day then I would've taken online classes. They don't teach you at all. I sometimes wonder where they get their professors from. I'm glad I'm just here for the winter semester then I'm transferring away from it. Don't go here at all.

They have never given me my official transcript when I requested it from the beginning. I still have a copy of the paper work.

I was informed that I owed $4000 to Strayer for an overpayment of a refund I received from financial aid after weeks prior to attending Winter 2015. They claimed that it was the lender’s error, so I am responsible for repayment of the excess of money I received. Why wouldn't someone at Strayer inform me that I was overpaid for two semesters consecutively?? Now I owe them over $4000.... I'm disgusted at their unprofessionalism and the people that give you wrong information at the North Raleigh campus. I would not recommend this school to anyone!!!

I have had several issues with the courtesy and accuracy of this school's financial aid department but this last incident takes the cake. I originally had several issues during my first time being enrolled in this school and the school I went to prior which lead my second time being enrolled in the school to be reviewed for an UEH. I provided all the necessary and it was reviewed and processed successfully. That process was a long and tedious one and most of them I dealt with were extremely rude and terrible in simply explaining the things I needed to understand which also is a major part of my final issue. It however was completed and approved. (ALL) That I was advised is that I need to have my grades at a 2.0 GPA for the new semester to continue without any issues and I would be back in good standing. This is exactly what I did, I passed a B in one Class and a C in another putting me at 2.5 GPA for the classes I needed to retake. I followed total policy and procedure so I thought or was told rather. I called on 1/2/15 to make sure everything was in order for me to start classes on 1/5/15, the gentlemen I spoke to said everything was fine and I was ready to go.

I am a United States Army Veteran. I recently enrolled in Strayer University and initially I was impressed. I started my College search at the beginning of the summer and I viewed several non-profit, for-profit public colleges and universities as well as community colleges. I was happy with my intake officer, my success coach and the campus director. Financial Services at the Washington D.C. campus was very helpful.

I started seeing a pattern where I am not receiving all of my refund money from Strayer University. I am in the Master's program and if you are receiving loans then you know that a certain amount is being PAID to Strayer to pay for your classes, books, fees and whatever else. On my account, I see the amount PAID to Strayer, on the account I see the refund and after subtracting the full amount and what was paid to the university, I am short between $73-$75 every quarter. That's a lot of money if they are taking money from each student. I am in the process of contacting the school about where that money is. I want everyone to check their loan amounts each quarter. Do your due diligence and subtract the amount you received back versus the amount of the loan and if you have a shortage, contact your home office or even an attorney.
