Degree Conferral Process and Diplomas

All students seeking a diploma from Strayer University must pay the $150 Degree Evaluation Fee once they are enrolled in their capstone course. During the evaluation of student records, the Records Office will determine if the student has met the requirements for degree conferral OR if there are additional requirements to meet. The Degree Conferral is not related to registering and participating in a commencement ceremony. Diplomas are mailed to the students’ home addresses 6-8 weeks after the completion of the degree requirements.

Diplomas are not provided at commencement.

Students who have used Federal Financial Aid Stafford or PLUS loans to finance their education, are required to complete Exit Counseling before graduating. Go to www.strayer.edu/exit_counseling to complete the counseling before submitting the Degree Conferral Application or complete it at any time prior to graduating.
