Last updated: • Version: v0.4
Operator: Sim2Real Academy

Scheduling

  • The core program is live, remote, and runs for 8 weeks (8 sessions, 60 minutes each).
  • In-home flight add-ons are 60 minutes each and scheduled separately (Midtown/Atlanta).
  • Scheduling shifts can be coordinated by email (ET).
  • Confirm your weekly slot: book via Calendly (payment confirms your slot).
  • Zoom link is provided after your weekly time is confirmed.

Cancellations & refunds

  • Full refund before Session 1: cancel before attending Session 1 for a full refund (payment processing fees may be non-refundable).
  • Prorated after Session 1: after Session 1, refunds are prorated based on sessions attended (at the per-session rate for your offer).
  • Late cancel: reschedule/cancel requests within 24 hours of session start are considered a late cancel.
  • No-show: if the student does not join within 10 minutes of start time and we don’t receive a message beforehand.
  • Rescheduling: we try to accommodate reschedules with 24+ hours notice. Make-up sessions are not guaranteed.
  • Tech issues: if Zoom/lab issues are on our side, we’ll reschedule or credit the session. If issues are on the student side, we’ll try to help troubleshoot and provide a make-up assignment if needed.
  • To cancel or request a refund, email lucas@sim2realacademy.com.

Privacy / data handling

  • Data minimization: we collect only what’s needed to run class (typically: email, scheduling info, and enrollment records).
  • Vendors: Stripe (payments), Zoom (live sessions), Cloudflare (secure tunnel).
  • Roster: your email is used to provision your workstation account and identify your session.
  • No sale: we do not sell personal information.
  • Deletion requests: request data deletion at lucas@sim2realacademy.com.
For minors, a parent/guardian should be the point of contact and may manage the account email used for enrollment.

Acceptable use / lab rules

The student lab provides remote compute access. These rules protect students and infrastructure.

  • No account sharing: each seat is for one student. Do not share logins or lab access emails.
  • Curriculum-only use: use the lab for Sim2Real Academy coursework and projects only.
  • No bypassing restrictions: do not attempt to disable safeguards, escalate privileges, or access other students’ data.
  • No network probing: no scanning, probing, or attempting to access internal services/networks.
  • Respectful behavior: no harassment, hate speech, or inappropriate content.
  • Logging: activity may be logged for security, troubleshooting, and safety.
  • Violations: may result in loss of lab access and removal from the program; refunds follow the cancellation policy above.

Student lab access

  • Students connect to the lab via ThinLinc (remote desktop) through a secure Cloudflare tunnel.
  • Login credentials are provided after enrollment.
  • A setup guide is included. We walk through installation together in the first session.
  • Lab access is available during scheduled live session times.
