Capstone note 2

Hidden costs in a final term or capstone project

The last term can bring project fees, exam costs, portfolio materials or travel that earlier semesters did not have.

The short version

  1. Ask for a list of program-specific fees early.
  2. Licensure exams are often separate from tuition.
  3. Emergency aid and completion grants sometimes cover narrow gaps.

Project and lab fees

Capstone courses may bill for materials, software or printing.

Exams and credentials

Some fields require a paid exam after coursework ends.

Planning questions

Ask which costs are billed by the school and which you pay directly.

Educational only

Capstelo does not pay fees or arrange exams.
