Understanding Course Requirements – Udacity Support

Peer Review Publications

What they are: Peer review publications are quiz-based assessments based on your field of study required to earn credits
Where to find them: You can find them listed on your Learning Plan page following the Nanodegree program. They appear as Udacity Required Reading and Assessments.

It may take a few days for assessment results to appear in your Woolf dashboard.

Meetings / Office Hours

Attending Udacity Office Hours fulfils this requirement - it is optional.

What are office hours?

Live 1-hour sessions where mentors and students interact in real time.
Helps deepen understanding of course material, troubleshoot challenges, and stay motivated

How to join

Register through the office-hour sign-up page for your course. Registration links are available in the Masters Program community.
Registration remains open until the session begins.

Please sign in to the Zoom for office hours with the Udacity email used to sign up for the program. Using a different email will prevent your attendance from being recorded.

These sessions are a chance to ask questions, raise concerns, and discuss project ideas with mentors and peers. Attending office hours is optional.

Summative Assignments

Completing all required projects for a program should be sufficient to meet the summative assignments requirement.

Completing Course Requirements

If you’ve previously graduated from a Nanodegree program included in the Master’s curriculum, prior work will be reviewed to count toward degree progress.

Complete the coursework
Complete additional requirements, such as Peer Review Publications

Do I need to attend meetings or office hours to show progress?

No. Progress tracking no longer depends on attending live meetings or office hours. Attending office hours is optional.

Course Names

Here is a brief explanation of how our program titles relate to your official transcript.

Program Title vs. Transcript Title: The Udacity "Nanodegree" program title is the internal program name, while the title on your transcript is the official, accredited course name. These two may not be identical. When you visit your Woolf Dashboard, the respective Nanodegree program titles are visible under each Woolf course name.

Why the difference: As a fully licensed institution under the MFHEA, we are required to use the specific course titles approved in our formal degree catalog for all official transcripts. This ensures your credential meets regulatory standards.
What this means for you: This is a difference in title only. We have meticulously ensured that the curriculum, learning outcomes, and all course content are the same. Your learning experience and the skills you gain are matched, regardless of the title.
