Book Voucher Program
Prior to April 2026, students attending Strayer University may be eligible to receive a book voucher with a spending limit that can only be used at the Strayer bookstore to purchase books, materials, access codes, and pay lab fees for the designated quarter. Students who receive a book voucher are under no obligation to use it; however, when used, the amount of the book voucher is added to the student's account and must be repaid by the student’s funding source(s) or by a direct payment from the student.
If a student uses the book voucher before receiving a disbursement of federal financial aid funding, then the amount spent with the voucher will be deducted from the student’s disbursement amount for the applicable quarter. A student may owe a balance to the university in the following situations:
- If the bookstore purchases exceed the available amount of the voucher; the balance will be the overage.
- If a student uses a book voucher after they receive a disbursement or refund of federal financial aid funding, or if they are not using federal financial aid, for the applicable quarter.
Book voucher balances with the university are the sole responsibility of the student. Students who prefer not to use a book voucher can simply choose not to use it at checkout. No notice to the university is required if the student chooses not to use a book voucher.
Effective April 2026 and excluding JWMI and the Licensed Practical Nurse Diploma Program, a Resource Kit will be charged to all Stayer University Undergraduate and Graduate courses at the time of registration to provide access to all required course materials at the start of the course. Book vouchers will no longer be needed to purchase course materials. However, students attending Strayer University may be eligible to receive a voucher with a spending limit that can only be used at the Strayer bookstore to purchase a laptop. Students should contact their Coach to discuss eligibility for a laptop voucher.
