🥜 In a nutshell:
Deadlines ensure you can manage your time well, stay on track and motivated, helping you complete your course and earn a certificate. Meeting your deadline is essential for earning a certificate, but you can get an extension if you qualify.
At EntryLevel, deadlines are a fundamental aspect of our cohort-based course structure, serving multiple important purposes that align with both educational and professional standards.
Why we have deadlines
Here are some reasons why we have deadlines and how you can use them to get ahead on your learning journey.
Recruitment and professional preparedness: Deadlines are crucial for developing your ability to manage time and workload effectively within a set timeframe—a key skill valued by employers. Demonstrating your capacity to adhere to schedules shows potential employers that you are reliable and can handle the pressures of a professional environment.
Integrity and engagement: We are committed to ensuring the integrity of our certification process. It is vital that certificates are awarded based on genuine effort and achievement. To prevent issues such as plagiarism or incomplete submissions, we require that all portfolios are AI-reviewed, and all failed grades are cross-checked by the EntryLevel team, all within the cohort.
Manageability and fairness: The review process for projects is extensive and demands significant time and resources. Like many educational institutions, we rely on a structured timeline to maintain a high standard of academic integrity and operational efficiency. Setting deadlines helps us manage our workload effectively and ensures that every student's work is assessed fairly and equitably.
What if you miss a deadline?
If you miss a deadline, you will unfortunately not be eligible to receive a certificate of completion, since you are deemed to not have completed
However, you will retain access to the course content so you can continue to learn it at your own pace.
Special considerations and extensions
We understand that extraordinary circumstances, such as medical emergencies and other exigencies, can occur. In such cases, we offer one extension with an option to extend your deadline for a week, two weeks, or six weeks.
For extensions beyond the above, we will offer special considerations on a case-by-case basis.
Understanding the importance of deadlines in our courses will help you maximize your learning experience and prepare you for future professional challenges. We encourage you to approach these deadlines with the seriousness they warrant, recognizing them as opportunities to demonstrate your commitment and capabilities.
We promise that EntryLevel courses are the online courses you will actually complete. If you are unable to meet a deadline and complete your course, don't hesitate to reach out. Our support team is readily available to give you a fair chance on the strength of your case.
