Timeline

The Fall 2026 form remained accessible to its welcome screen when inspected, but late applications were not confirmed.

What does the capstone involve?

The FAQ describes an investment simulation that results in an investment memo and term sheet. The evidence describes this as a learning activity, not an award of investment capital or authority.

The operator stated a September 28, 2026, deadline, which has passed. The Fall application form remained accessible to its welcome screen when inspected, but that does not confirm late applications are accepted.
