High Tech Transition Pathway Scholarship

Please watch this tutorial video that will help to get you familiar with your classroom.

Your Session Leader is there to help you successfully progress through your track from enrollment straight through to graduation. The Session Lead is the person who will be conducting your periodic connect sessions. He/She will answer your questions, help you overcome any technical challenges, point you to helpful resources and give you guidance to complete the program successfully. Once you are enrolled in your track, you will receive an email informing you about your Session Lead. You can also learn more about your Session Lead, among other session details, from your classroom.

Udacity Connect sessions are focused on delivering three key benefits:

• • Collaboration: You'll have the opportunity to work with your Session Lead and peers to complete projects, overcome challenges, and master new concepts.

  • Accountability: You'll benefit from check-ins with your Session Lead, who will help you with goal-setting, time management, and motivation.

  • Efficiency: By attending your Connect sessions and spending around 10 hours per week on your independent study, you will successfully complete your track just in time.

You must reach out to your Session Lead in advance on Slack to inform him or her that you will not be able to attend your session, as the Session Lead is responsible to track your attendance. If you have already missed your Connect session, please reach out to your Session Lead immediately with a clear explanation of why you did so and why you were not able to inform him/her of this in advance of the session. The periodic Connect sessions are very important and are considered one of the main pillars of the program. Missing sessions might cause you to fall behind and could put your enrollment in jeopardy.

Udacity Connect Sessions will take place on the same day and time periodically. Attending Connect Sessions is a mandatory part of participating in the program and failure to keep up with attendance will put you at risk of losing your Nanodegree. The exact schedule for your periodic sessions will be shared with you at the beginning of your track via email.

Your session will be 2 hours long.

Prepare your own laptop, headphones, power cord, and whatever else you find helpful. Also, please make sure your internet connectivity is stable and strong to be able to attend the session with no problems.
