Portfolio Assessment of Prior Learning
At the School of Continuing Studies we recognize that
adults learn in many different ways and places, and adults have a wealth
of experiences that have produced substantial learning. As a result,
we have established an additional way to earn credit for prior learning
through the creation, submission, and assessment of a portfolio. The
schedule for submission of portfolios appears below.
- For credit earned in the spring semester, portfolios
must be submitted by March 1.
- For credit earned in the summer term, portfolios
must be submitted by July 1.
- For credit earned in the fall semester, portfolios
must be submitted by November 1.
Portfolios and application form should be delivered to the SCS office, ATTN: Dr. Patricia Brown, Assoc. Dean
