Graduate Catalog 2021-2022

Portfolio

Graduate students have the option of completing a course by using the Portfolio course of study modality. In this modality graduate students present evidence of their experience and achievements which are equivalent to the skills and competencies to be offered in the university course. Candidates offer evidence of their experience and achievements in their Portfolios in such a way that they identify, organize, and establish evidence to support course accreditation.

  1. This modality will be available to all students at any moment according to the specifications of the Program.
  2. The faculty of each graduate program will determine the courses to be accredited through the Portfolio Modality. Laboratories, Conference/laboratories, practicums and other similar courses will not be offered in this modality.
  3. The Dean of the Division or Dean of Academic Affairs will approve all students’ requests for Portfolio courses, and will ratify a signed agreement between the student and the professor.
  4. “Accreditation of Learning Experiences through Portfolio” will be recorded on the official transcript to complete the administrative process.

Graduate students will be allowed to take up to one third of the total credits of the graduate program through Contract or Portfolio modalities.
