## GA SEI Graduation Requirements

General Assembly's courses are pass/fail programs. We have certain requirements in order to be considered a `graduate` of the SEI program:

* No more than 24 hours absent from class over the duration of the course (3 tardies equals 4 hours)
* Successful completion of four assigned projects
* Participating in GA’s mid-course and end-of-course feedback surveys
* Complete 80% of assigned `deliverables`

When you complete our program with passing status, you unlock our alumni perks:

* Support from the Outcomes Team
* Receive a GA Letter of Completion (via email 1 week after graduation)
* Credits and discounts for other GA courses (check with Student Services for details).
* Access to our Alumni Community

### Origin of this Gitbook

Due to the changing nature of course delivery format in response to COVID-19, this course is only offered remotely at this time, and the student pool spans multiple campuses. This version of the notes is tailored for the SEI 59. It will be a working set of documents as SEI instructors continually adapt this originally campus-driven curriculum for the new demands of work-from-home life. The idea is to front-load each day with lessons in the morning, leaving the majority of the afternoon for flexibe workshop/lab time.
