Your paid Bootcamp Prep tuition will be subtracted from your initial deposit if you are accepted to one of our campus-based programs or our Part Time Online Software Engineering Program under the deferred payment plan. This does not reduce total tuition owed, but will reduce the total upfront deposit that is required.

San Francisco Campus-based Programs Intend to Move Online

App Academy has requested approval from California regulators to move our San Francisco campus-based programs to be fully online. If the request is approved, all instruction held at the San Francisco campus location may move online beginning as early as October 2023.

This change reflects shifting student interest: In 2023, two-thirds of our Bay-area students are already choosing to attend fully online and skip the campus experience.

This means that if you enroll in an in-person San Francisco Bootcamp Prep course which starts from September 2023 onward, you may begin in-person but finish up online. Other aspects of the program such as the duration, curriculum, and instruction team will not change. We will update applicants and students with more information as we hear back from regulators on our request.

App Academy programs held at the New York campus and Online are not impacted by this intended change.

Should you have any questions, please schedule a call with our admissions team or reach out to us at admissions@appacademy.io.
