Give the students an extension on the 640-802 exam
Bridge courses - how will a student who is currently enrolled in a CCNA 2 class learn the new material for CCNA 1 and 2 and 3 since the 3rd class will probably not be taught until 2014?
Site access - I am glad that you realized that not giving students access to the new site would have been a nightmare for Instructors, because we woud have been left creating dummy classes and enrolling "old" students in them, since we lied to them and said that Cisco has always made the new material available to them since they are an Academy student.
And the exam extension - WOW, I confidently have always told my classes that Cisco understands that courses do not always match up with changing curriculum, so that will extend the exam for Academy Students. What happened here?
I had my mouth open, unable to respond to these changes. And I am still not sure what to say.

In the past, we have been able to negotiate an extension of certification exams for NetAcad students. Unfortunately, due to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirements, Cisco must now set the same certification end-of-life date for everyone, including Cisco® Academies.
We recognize and understand the impact of the old CCNA certification exam EOL and the phased release of the new NetAcad CCNA R&S courses on the instructors and students. We will be collaborating with the ASC/ITC to address, communicate and execute the plan to support both instructors and students during this difficult transition in the next couple of months.
Thank you for your feedback.
