Enrolled NYU Tandon Bridge Students

The Bridge course is taught asynchronously and is self-paced. In the course, learners will be participating in interactive online modules, assignments, and exams. There are four exams throughout the course.

Time Commitment

The Bridge program is 100% online and self-paced. The total program time typically ranges from 480 to 560 hours, and learners have up to one year to complete all course requirements. It is recommended that learners dedicate about 20 hours per week to stay on track for completion within a year.

Grading

The Bridge course is letter-graded, and learners must earn a grade of C (70%) or better to pass the course and earn a certificate credential.

Grades are based on the four exams taken throughout the course. Course-specific grading details will be provided in the syllabus on the Brightspace course platform.

Exams

Exams are not cumulative and are based on topics and skills learned throughout the accompanying course section. Each of the four exams will have a time limit of two hours. Learners can take the exam at any time within the specified grading periods.

Exams will be unlocked and available when learners have completed the relevant modules for each exam. Exams must be completed via an online proctoring platform. Learners are given two attempts on each exam, but note that retaking an exam may push back the course completion date by six weeks due to exam grading periods.

Learners need to attempt each of the exams, but they do not have to pass the exams to continue in the course. However, learners must complete and pass all exams to earn a passing grade and certificate credential.

There will be several exam grading periods throughout the year, approximately every six weeks. Learners must complete their exam before the grading period deadline to have it evaluated within that grading period.
