- Capstone Project*
*The capstone project is not a regular course, it is an independent project undertaken by the student under agreement with a faculty advisor. The faculty advisor provides only supervision and assessment of the project and not regular instruction. Upon completion of the project and by the pre-agreed deadline the student submits the project to the faculty advisor, who then assesses it and reports the pass or fail grade (pass 鈮� 75%) to the registrar鈥檚, who in turn issues the certificate. The registrar鈥檚 will keep all projects on file for a minimum of 2 years.
