Are there any breaks during UX Academy?
UX Academy has community breaks four times throughout the calendar year. During community breaks, you're not expected to work on your course and mentors aren't expected to be available.
Course progress is paused during community break periods, so you're not required to work on the course, but you can if you choose to. Group Crits are also paused during community breaks. Your graduation date will be adjusted to account for these community breaks.
We will announce 2025 breaks in the new year. You can find more information about 2024 breaks below:
