WGU C769 Task 1 IT Capstone Topic Approval Form for PCI DSS
Compliance Project with Complete Solution 2026 Update
C769 Task 1 IT Capstone Topic Approval Form
The purpose of this document is to help you clearly explain your capstone topic, project
scope, and timeline and to ensure that they align with your degree emphasis. Without
clearly addressing each of these areas, you will not have a complete and realistic overview
of your project, and your instructor cannot accurately assess whether your project will be
viable for the purposes of these courses.
Complete this form and send it (via ) to your instructor for
approval. Once approved, you will receive a signed document in PDF format that you can
upload as part of Task 1.
It is the policy of Western Governors University (WGU) that student capstone projects
should not be based on or include, without authorization, restricted information. Restricted
information is any proprietary or classified information or material belonging to your
employer or any other third party. You acknowledge that you will not use restricted
information in your capstone project without obtaining the third party’s permission by using
the “IT Capstone Project Restricted Information Authorization Form” found in the
Supporting Documents section of Task 1.
