Technical Requirements

Strayer students can connect and learn on desktops, laptops, and multiple mobile devices. Before you begin your first course, review the following technical requirements to make sure you have full access to Strayer's learning tools. A desktop or laptop in addition to the appropriate software and an Internet connection are the primary means of participating in courses and thus are significant contributors to academic success. Strayer students should make sure that hardware, software, and Internet connections are compatible with Strayer’s online environment. Strayer provides students with the opportunity to purchase Microsoft Office products at a significant discount (see Software, Discounts and Downloads section in iCampus for exact pricing). These requirements are subject to change at any time.

Internet connection: Strayer University's technical support staff strongly recommends a broadband (Cable or DSL) Internet connection. Other high-speed and broadband connections, such as a satellite connection, hotspot, or a shared/community Internet connection, may work but may not provide the best performance of the tools and resources used in Strayer University courses.

Mobile: Mobile devices may also be used with Strayer sites but for most academic programs, unless otherwise noted, a desktop or laptop with a full operating system like Windows or Mac will be needed to ensure access to all sites, tools, and resources used by Strayer University and Strayer courses.
