What is the duration of this program?

The Nanodegree Program is designed to run from April 27th until November 28th. However, it is important to note that this Connect program is self-paced and you can finish it in less than the designed duration, if you are willing and able to do so.


How many hours a week should I expect to spend on my coursework in order to finish on time?

Between instructional content, quizzes, projects, and other course-related activities, we recommend allocating 10-15 hours a week for learning.

What do you mean by the "Slack Student Community?"

If you qualify and are granted a Nanodegree Program Scholarship seat, you will be given access to the student Slack Community specific to this program phase. You will receive your Slack invitation via email once you are enrolled. This enables you to connect directly with your classmates in real-time; all Udacity students regularly use these forums to support each other's work, answer each other's questions, and share relevant ideas and resources. Also, the community team will be available to answer your non-technical question. Students who are active in our Slack community tend to submit projects before the deadline and graduate on time so we highly encourage you to join the conversation and contribute to our vibrant community.

How can I use Slack to be able to post my technical questions?

After being enrolled in the Nanodegree Program, you will receive an invitation email to your Slack Channel - please follow the link and instructions to register and then watch this tutorial video to learn how to use Slack. We recommend reading Slack guidelines from here. Also, don’t forget to download the app on your mobile phone to stay updated! It is available on both the App Store and Google Play!
