What happens with Daylight Savings Time? Does the live-session time change?

Find out how to handle your class time when Daylight Savings Time effects your Bootcamp.

The live-session time is always in Eastern Time (ET) so yes, it will be affected by Daylight Savings. 

For those areas of the world who don’t have time zones that change times based on Daylight Savings Time each fall/spring (or who are in time zones that switch at different weeks than ET does), we apologize for how complicated this gets!

  • The ET time zone changes during the year based on Daylight Savings Time. 
  • Eastern Standard Time (EST) is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and is in effect from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March.
  • Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is 4 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and is in effect from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
  • If the Daylight Savings switch happens during your bootcamp, it will affect the live-session time. The mentors and Bootcamp Coordinator will remind students ahead of the time change.
