What is the progression rate?
The progression rate looks at where a student needs to be in their bootcamp in order to graduate within the given time, and then where they actually are. For example, if a student should be on task 10 at a specific point in their bootcamp but they are only on task 5 then their progression rate will be 50%. If they were on task 10 in this example, their progression should be 100%. If they are on task 12 and should only be on task 10 then their progression will be on 120%.
The student’s responsibility
Once a student falls under 75% progression, the student will then be given 2 weeks to catch up on their bootcamp and get it above 75%. If they are not able to do so, the student will be handed over to Student Success for discussions around the continuation of studies.
Should a student reach the end date of their bootcamp without completion, they will have to make arrangements to extend this end date or risk disenrollment when their support runs out. It is thus vital to stay ahead with progression and work with one’s mentor to ensure progression is where it needs to be to complete the bootcamp before or on time.
With Pause requests, as a standard policy, we do not allow students to take a break or pause at any point throughout their bootcamp(s). However, we do understand that emergencies happen and that sometimes a student can be affected by special circumstances beyond control. A pause is therefore allowed under extenuating circumstances and the conditions listed our Pause Policy.
It is worthwhile to note that even if a pause is requested, it might not be approved. It is up to the student to ensure that they plan accordingly should they not be able to pause their bootcamp. Also note, even if a pause request is approved, it does not mean that payment arrangements will also be placed on hold - these will go ahead as agreed upon at the start of the bootcamps.
