Based on UZT rules, a learner may not miss 5 full study days of learning activities in a row without a valid reason. Doing so puts the learner at risk of study contract termination.
Example 1: a learner has an UZT schedule with learning activities only during Mondays-Fridays. If a learner attends an activity on Monday and then stops attending them during all next days, the last day they need to attend a learning activity again is next Monday in order not to not miss 5 study days in a row. This would result in 4 missed days in a row: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Example 2: a learner has an UZT schedule with learning activities during Mondays-Sundays (only possible for employed learners). If a learner attends an activity on Monday and then stops attending them during all next days, the last day they need to attend a learning activity again is Saturday in order not to not miss 5 study days in a row. This would result in 4 missed days in a row: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Attending a learning activity any later would result in 5 days missed or more, since Saturday and Sunday can be marked as missed as well. |

It is important that no matter when you started your studies, the stipend received from UZT each month depends on the exact number of study hours that were tracked during those months. To get 100% of the stipend, you need to attend 100% of the learning activities, meaning 30 hours per week (assuming no national holidays). If you choose to study less, such as only meeting the average minimum hours required as indicated in the previous table, your monthly stipend from UZT will be reduced accordingly. For example, if you track only 15 hours each week, which is 50% of the 30 needed hours for full stipend, you would get 50% of your stipend for those weeks. |

The exact process is:
Each learner first needs to set their schedule within the Turing College platform to choose the hours most convenient for them.
Later, after the form is completed, the learner will receive a link to sign the newly generated schedule.
Starting from the 9nd of September, we sign a document which confirms that agreeing to calendar changes in the platform is equivalent to a qualified e-signature. This makes it possible to change the calendar without needing to sign a document each time.
The platform will guide you through setting hours so that all rules are followed. Once hours are chosen and confirmed by us, we will ask you to confirm these changes.
We will only track time in the hours during which your calendar has learning activities scheduled. Activities that are tracked are: Virtual Classrooms, Open Sessions, Project reviews, Stand-ups. If you are in an activity that is happening on Zoom, you do not need to simultaneously be present in Discord as well.
A schedule can be changed if your existing one has already been active for at least 6 days and takes effect the following day (meaning in total, a schedule will be active for at least 7 days).
as well.
You can choose between updating the schedule for the current week only vs. updating it for the next and the following weeks.
You can change the calendar daily
Until 9th of September 2024, we will still track time during all hours (6am-midnight weekdays, 6am-20pm weekends) based on the same rules as before (active status on Discord).
