Any student beginning an Associate Degree program beginning on or after fall semester 2008 will be required to complete a Graduation Portfolio.
A portfolio is a collection of student work that demonstrates the student's overall academic success — the efforts, progress, and achievements in one or more areas of the curriculum over a specified period of time.
When a student completes his or her degree at SRC, it is the student’s responsibility, with the guidance of the instructor, to ensure that the General Education Core Competencies have been mastered. Many assignments, tasks, projects, and assessments in different courses can be used as artifacts (examples) to demonstrate the student’s mastery of these competencies.
Ultimately, the portfolio enables a student to identify and reflect on his/her own accomplishments and strengths. The portfolio can serve as an example of academic achievement for university transfer or when applying for jobs after graduation. Click here for more information.
