Rolling enrollment · Start whenever

You set the pace.

No semesters. No fall start. No add/drop week. The day you enroll is Day 0 — your pace is built around you, not an academic calendar made for 19-year-olds who don't have jobs.

THE RULE

Enroll any day. Your clock starts the day you say so.

Advisors cycle weekly. Office hours run daily. Lectures are published continuously. The only thing that waits is you.

Your first year, by the day

Milestones are offsets, not dates. Day 0 is whenever you enroll.

Day 0 · Enrollment

Declare your major, meet your advisor

Student ID issued. Welcome kit mailed. Advisor pairs you within 24 hours.

Day 3 · First course live

Convocation + your opening course

Dean's welcome video, cohort channel access, and the first course in your major unlocks.

Day 14 · First deliverable

Ship something small

Every major starts with a two-week ship. A memo, a model, a mock-up — something that proves you started.

Day 30 · First 1:1

Advisor review

30-minute live review with your advisor. Direction correction, pace calibration, next unlock.

Day 56 · Midpoint check-in

Transcript audit

Half of first-tier credit should be banked by now. If it isn't, this is where we fix pace — not blame it.

Day 90 · Capstone kickoff

Pick your capstone project

Real client work, open-source, or internal Forkaia build. Your advisor sources it, you lead it.

Day 180 · Capstone shipped

Public demo + hiring showcase

Capstones go live on your portfolio and your transcript. Recruiters in the room when you demo.

Day 365 · Year review

Promotion, pivot, or press on

Promote to the next tier of your major, pivot to a double major, or extend. There is no "spring break" — only when you need one.

How much time this takes

Pick the pace that matches your life. Any of them get you to the diploma.

4
hrs/week · Light

The side-pace

You have a job. You have a kid. You have both. Degree finishes in about four years at this pace.

10
hrs/week · Standard

The main-pace

The default. One real course at a time, one advisor 1:1 every two weeks. Degree in roughly two years.

25+
hrs/week · Sprint

The sprint-pace

Between jobs, between semesters at another school, or you just want it. Degree in under a year.

What stays on a calendar

A few things are scheduled, because they're the parts where everyone needs to be in the same room: live Q&A with practitioners, demo days, and the twice-yearly Capstone Showcase. Everything else bends to you.
