Completion of a Certificate requires a portfolio review, fulfilled by participation in Portfolio Review Days offered in the fall and spring.
Final portfolio reviews are taken during or after the student's final coursework term.
Students will also need to complete the certificate program completion form, submit high-quality digital images of their work, and take part in a brief exit interview to receive their digital certificate.
Students are required to submit five or more high-quality images of their work for their student record. (These do not need to be the same images you show in your portfolio review. This submission is separate from what you may choose to share for your review.)
