Strategic Education, Inc. Transforms Financial Aid Processes

Strayer and Capella transitioned to Oracle Student Financial Planning to support growth and better integration. Oracle confirmed SFP could handle SEI’s three enrollment models, and early prototyping showed strong alignment. SEI selected Sierra-Cedar as the implementation partner because of its experience implementing SFP. The project focused on migrating FlexPath students with minimal disruption and improving automation through collaborative design sessions.
Key Project Highlights:
  • Successfully converted and disbursed all Strayer students to SFP by July 2025
  • Completed the first ‘new aid year’ roll-over for Strayer
  • Finalized Releases 1 and 2 for Capella GuidedPath, enabling July 2025 disbursement
  • Improved business process alignment and developed tools for real-time data monitoring
  • Achieved high automation in awarding aid, maintaining compliance with Title IV regulations
