Editor's Notes
Existe um reajuste entre os anos 2 e 3 e 3 e 4 em função de oferta de cursos on campus e também da acreditação. O valor pagar por aluno não é constante por conta desses acontecimentos. Logo os alunos que ingressarem depois da acreditação e do lançamento de cursos on campus serão mais lucrativos.
A tabela também já considera a perda de alunos por trancamentos
