Hi everyone,

We know that life can be unpredictable. Whether it’s an unexpected illness, a family situation, or simply needing a mental health break, we understand that there are times when you may need to step away from your studies and the computer.

Stepping Away (14+ Days)

If you anticipate being away from the Academy for more than 14 days, please reach out to Harmony or myself as soon as possible.

We want to support you through whatever "life" is throwing your way. By letting us know, we can ensure that:

  • You do not receive automated messages regarding late assignments.
  • You aren't flagged for inactivity within your courses.
  • We can help you coordinate a plan for when you are ready to return.

A Note on 14-Day Check-ins

As a reminder, our courses are designed to have 14-day check-ins to help everyone stay on track. If you notice that your specific course does not have a check-in point integrated into the curriculum, please contact Róisín or Harmony directly. She will make sure one is added so that you and your instructors can stay properly connected.

We appreciate your communication and are happy to work with you to make sure your education fits your life!

Warmly,

The Academy Administration
