Portfolio Assessment

Students who wish to have their prior learning assessed may do so through the creation of a portfolio that demonstrates college-level learning that has occurred outside the college or university classroom. Portfolios show evidence of the achievement of course learning outcomes by documenting work experience, professional development, continuing education, and personal study. Portfolios are then assessed by faculty who assign credit. Assessments may also include an interview or skill demonstration depending on the course outcomes. Students interested in portfolio assessment should talk to an academic advisor.
