2026 Application Deadlines

In partnership with Southern New Hampshire University, Rivet School offers six application deadlines each year. Applications submitted by each deadline will be considered for the corresponding onboarding and enrollment dates listed below.

Applications submitted after a deadline will roll into the next available start date.

Application Deadline: The application deadline is the last day to apply for the upcoming Onboarding Start date.

By this date, prospective students must complete the full application and any required transfer steps if applicable. Transfer-related steps can take up to 3 weeks to complete. We strongly recommend applying early to avoid delays.

Onboarding Start Date: The onboarding start date is the day accepted students begin onboarding into the Rivet School program.

Onboarding is a six-week trial designed to help students decide if Rivet School is the right fit. During onboarding, students will get to know their dedicated coach, complete real projects, and make real progress toward their degree. There is no cost and no obligation during onboarding.

How to Get Started

The first step to get started at Rivet School is to submit an interest form. Within 10 minutes, you’ll receive your application link by email and be connected with an Admissions Specialist to stay on track to apply before the next deadline.
