Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 22, 2011, the Department of Education issued a provisional Program Participation Agreement for Strayer University to be effective until September 30, 2014. The Department issued the agreement on a provisional basis because it found in its 2010 Program Review that Strayer University did not always disburse Title IV funds in a timely manner to students each payment period. The Department specifically noted that during the 2008-2009 award year, the University awarded approximately $85,000 of Pell Grant awards at the end of the award year, instead of during the terms in which the students were eligible. Strayer University has not yet received its Final Program Review Determination Letter for the 2010 Program Review. Under the terms of the provisional agreement, Strayer University must obtain Department approval for substantial changes, including additions of new locations, academic degree levels, or non-degree programs.
