About Bryant and Stratton Career College
Bryant & Stratton has chosen an asynchronous web-based online education program. All courses are delivered via Internet-based software called TopClass. This software is used in many distance education programs. TopClass is accessed via our website, and the student does not need to download any TopClass software to their computer. This software comes equipped with messaging, discussion areas, coursework (lectures), announcements and testing. Courses are never "live" so there is no need to be on the computer at any given time. Students work in TopClass when they choose anytime during the day or night-in the middle of the night, weekends or mornings-because TopClass is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Loans
Federal Stafford Loans include two programs. The "subsidized" Stafford loan is based upon financial need. The "unsubsidized" Stafford loan is not. Almost all students who meet the general eligibility requirements for federal financial aid are eligible for a Stafford loan in some amount. Independent students eligibility is larger as they do not have access to Plus loans.
Federal Plus Loan Parents borrow directly from lending institutions to pay for a dependent child's cost of education. Repayment begins within 60 days of the date the loan is disbursed.

Tuition balances not covered by financial aid can be paid by check, money order, or credit card. Payment arrangements can also be made and spread over the course of the semester.
