If you submit your application less than three weeks prior to the start date, you may still be eligible to join that cohort. However, this may reduce the number of available Technical Admissions Assessment dates and times.
After submitting your initial application, you will complete a coding challenge and then complete a Technical Admissions Assessment prior to admittance into our Software Engineering Immersive program. Upon successful submission of the coding challenge, you’ll be directed to book your Technical Admissions Assessment. During the Technical Admissions Assessment, you’ll be asked to use functions in JavaScript to solve small problems. You may take the Technical Admissions Assessment up to three times. After this assessment, an Enrollment Advisor will relay next steps within two business days.
Technical Admissions Assessment Deadline
In order to have enough time to complete the enrollment process and pre-course the latest you can schedule the Technical Admissions Assessment is 4 weeks prior to the immersive start date.
You should be comfortable with callbacks in JavaScript, how to pass functions as arguments to other functions, and how to use both anonymous functions and functions stored in variables as callback arguments.
It will also be essential that you have a strong foundation in composing and using objects, arrays, and functions. Including questions like:
Soft skills are equally as important to us as technical chops. You should be able to explain your thought process as you work through a problem. This is a key skill not only as a Galvanize student but as a software engineer in the professional world.
Your first 2-6 weeks
One to two business days after receiving notice of your acceptance, you’ll receive a Student Enrollment Agreement. Your Enrollment Agreement is valid for seven days from receipt.
After completing your enrollment agreement, you’ll receive a program deposit invoice. Submitting your deposit within three days of receiving this invoice will ensure your cohort seat. If you wish to defer to a later cohort, notify your admissions team or the registrar at least three weeks prior to your original start date.
Prior to starting your immersive program, you’ll be required to complete the Precourse curriculum remotely. The Software Engineering Immersive Precourse curriculum takes 90-120 hours to complete. You will walk away with a strong foundation in Javascript, HTML, CSS, and more. This will prepare you for an incredibly intense learning experience.
Students who do not finance their immersive program have two payment options:
(Refer to your Enrollment Agreement for exact payment dates and amounts)
Note: Software Engineering students in San Francisco will automatically have their tuition split into two payments.
