Level UP - Deadlines for Actions

Stage expirations are time limits set within the program to ensure that stipends are available for students who actively engage and work towards completing various stages within a specified timeframe.

Stage expirations are necessary to maintain the program's efficiency and fairness. They encourage active participation and timely progress, ensuring that resources are allocated to those who are actively engaged.

Stage expirations are implemented for different stages of the program, each with its own timeframe and consequences. If stages are missed, you will be considered inactive and removed from the program to make room for other students to participate.
