4. How to Enter: All entrants must be invited to complete a short survey through an official survey invitation.  Follow the directions to complete the survey. Once you have completed the survey, you will automatically receive one (1) Sweepstakes entry.  Limit: One Entry per person during the Promotion Period.  Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address or Account.  Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email addresses, Accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified.  Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.  In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the entrant.  The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address.  Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder.

5. Drawings: There are two separate drawing pools, one for Capella University invitees and one for Strayer University invitees Sponsor will randomly select potential winners on or about October 15, 2025 from all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes.  The potential winners will be notified by email.  If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, or prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits his/her prize.  Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules.  In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.  Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.  Prizes will be fulfilled approximately 4 weeks after the conclusion of the Sweepstakes (unless any alternate drawings are required, in which case this prize fulfillment may take longer than 4 weeks).
