Student Support

At UC San Diego, Division of Extended Studies Boot Camps, supporting our students is at the top of our list. That is why we make ourselves available to students through various avenues like virtual office hours, email, phone, and a dedicated #Slack channel. Through these channels, students can get on-demand help from instructors, fellow students, and support staff whenever they need it.

Preparing students with a new set of hard skills isn’t our only priority. Through our career services, students gain access to wide-ranging job support to equip them with the necessary soft skills to stand out in the job market.

Student Success

To help students along the intensive boot camp journey, they have a Student Success Manager to provide support with pre-launch preparation, instructor management, on-boarding, and classroom coordination. In addition, students have access to a free tutoring network and communication channels to reach out to instructors and TAs when needed.

Feedback »

Feedback is crucial as we constantly work to make the student experience the best it can be. That is why we have instated several feedback loops to hear from students throughout the program. Surveys are administered to capture student goals, backgrounds, program feedback, and demographics as well as weekly feedback forms that help us make changes in real-time.

Communication »

We use #Slack to keep in touch regularly because when you’re navigating a challenging boot camp, communication is more important than ever. Slack is a tool that allows students to talk with each other, their instructors, and their Student Success Manager.

Quality Assurance »

We use advanced technologies to make sure that our instructors are providing students with an optimal learning experience. Classes are recorded and audited for quality control and data analysis. This gives our academic team the ability to give real-time oversight of the curriculum delivery as well as constructive feedback to our stellar team of instructors.
