            Capstone fee

            Modified on Thu, 10 Sep at 1:01 PM

            Quick answer

            The Capstone Fee is charged per academic credit: USD 20 per credit. For the 3-credit Capstone course, the total is USD 60, converted to R$ 330,00 at the current institutional exchange rate. Payment does not prevent the course from being released, but it must be settled before graduation.

            How it works

            The Capstone Course Fee is set out in the Enrollment Agreement and in the MUST University institutional catalog, in the official Fees/Charges table. It is part of the program's financial obligations, along with tuition, additional credits, and other institutional fees.

            official 'Fees/Charges' table from the institutional catalog, in English, with two columns, 'Fees/Charges' and 'Cost'.

            Important

            Paying the Capstone Fee does not affect the release of the course. Even if the fee is not paid right away, the course is released normally. Payment can be made after all academic work is completed, without affecting the progress of the Capstone.

            For the 3-credit Capstone course, the calculation is as follows:
