What is a portfolio?

A portfolio is a collection of documents and writing that you assemble in order to demonstrate that you have the appropriate prior and experiential learning to earn university level credit. The portfolio has several parts, described in the “Portfolio parts and requirements” section.

Portfolios are to be submitted electronically.

There are several ways to compile and submit an electronically- based portfolio.

• Use our e-Portfolio template, available at e-Lab Portfolio. (Instructions are available to assist you in using the e-Portfolio site).
• Compile a document (Word, PDF, etc.) with bookmarks and/or embedded links. Submit the content electronically via a zip drive or an equivalent negotiated with your mentor.
• Use a commercial site available online to house your documents and build the portfolio.

Follow the examples provided in the sample student e-Portfolios section and submission guidance in the e-Portfolio submission section.

Your mentor will provide further insight so you can select the electronic submission route that works for you.
