While you’re encouraged to finish within the grace period, we understand that things come up. You can still complete the externship and continue building your skills—but you won’t be eligible for the awards if your submissions come in after the award window closes. Submissions after the grace period still boost your skills but no longer affect the progress bar or award eligibility.
Interim due‑dates keep you on pace but do not trigger the award themselves.
Note: For all awards, both timely completion and the quality of your submissions are considered.
NOTE: All cohorts with start dates prior to May 26th, 2025 are NOT eligible for an award.
