At HyperionDev, student progression is a key metric for tracking your progress through the bootcamp curriculum. Maintaining a steady progression rate ensures that you stay on track to complete your studies within the set time frame. The progression rate is a calculated measure that compares where you should be in your bootcamp tasks to where you actually are at any given point. Monitoring and managing this rate helps you stay aligned with the goals you set when you started your bootcamp.
Understanding the Progression Rate
Your progression rate measures the alignment between your expected pace and your actual achievements in the bootcamp:
- Targeted Completion: If a student is expected to be on task 10 at a specific point but is only on task 5, their progression rate would be 50%, meaning they are progressing at half the necessary rate to complete the course on time.
- On Track: If the student is on task 10 as planned, their progression rate is 100%.
- Ahead of Schedule: If the student is on task 12 when they are expected to be on task 10, their progression rate is 120%, indicating that they are progressing faster than required.
Managing Your Progression Rate
To stay on track for graduation, students should maintain a progression rate close to 100%. Falling below a 75% progression rate may lead to interventions designed to help you get back on track.
The Student’s Responsibility
If your progression rate drops below 75%, you’ll be given a two-week period to catch up and raise your progression to at least 75%. If you’re unable to meet this standard, you will be referred to the Student Success team, who will discuss your progress and explore ways to support your continuation in the bootcamp.
Additionally:
- End Date and Extensions: If you reach the end date of your bootcamp without completing all tasks, you’ll need to make arrangements to extend your end date to continue accessing support. Without this arrangement, disenrollment may occur when your support period expires. Staying on top of your progression rate and working closely with your mentor can help prevent delays, ensuring you graduate on time.
- Regular Check-ins with Mentors: Using mentor sessions effectively can help you understand challenging topics and maintain your progress. Engage with your mentor regularly to keep momentum and gain insights into managing your time and coursework effectively.
Pause Requests
As a standard policy, we do not permit students to take breaks or pause their bootcamp(s) because the curriculum is designed for continuous engagement. However, we recognize that life can bring unexpected challenges. In cases of serious, documented emergencies or special circumstances beyond your control, you may submit a request to pause your studies under our Pause Policy.
Important Considerations for Pause Requests:
- Pause Approval: Submission of a pause request does not guarantee approval. Decisions are based on the circumstances presented, and approval is only granted in cases deemed extenuating.
- Payment Obligations: Even if a pause is granted, please note that payment agreements remain active as initially arranged. Payments will continue according to your initial agreement unless specific changes are discussed and confirmed.
It is the student’s responsibility to plan their study time and manage any known conflicts, keeping in mind that pauses are not automatically granted and may not affect payment schedules.
Why Staying on Track Matters
Progressing steadily through your bootcamp is essential to your success and to making the most of the resources HyperionDev provides. Falling behind can make it difficult to catch up and may ultimately jeopardize your ability to complete the course within your expected timeframe.
If you have questions about your progression rate, please reach out to your mentor or the Student Success team, who can provide personalized advice and resources to help you stay on track. For more information on what happens if you’re unable to complete the bootcamp by your end date, refer to our disenrollment policy in clause 2.7.
In summary, managing your progression rate, staying engaged, and communicating with mentors are all key to achieving success in your bootcamp. We’re here to support you on your journey and to ensure you have the guidance you need to meet your goals.
