Students are added to a Portfolio canvas course during their graduation term after the graduation application deadline for the given semester. If the graduation application deadline has passed and you are not added to the canvas course, please email advising.

You need to submit the portfolio as close to the deadline as possible. We will hold your portfolio until grades are posted and verify that you receive a grade of “B” or better in the course.

Yes. All students must submit a completed cover sheet to indicate which courses you are using for your portfolio and the instructor of the course. Portfolios submitted with incomplete cover sheets will not be accepted. 

You are not required to obtain Dr. Yau’s approval as they have blanket approval if they were taught by Dr. Yau.

 You may attempt to contact the professor. If you are having difficulties note this on the coversheet.

 If you submitted the report on your project during the course and it was approved, faculty will forward the approval directly to the advising office; however, you are welcome and encouraged to attach verification of faculty approval to the coversheet.

Yes. The email approval(s) must be submitted with the cover sheet as one attachment.

 Please give a faculty member at least three weeks to review your portfolio. If you have not heard back, you may send a follow-up email and/or visit during their posted office hours. Document all attempts at communication. If the deadline for the portfolio submission approaches and you have not heard back from the faculty, please submit the portfolio along with ALL documented communication attempts.

The results will be reflected on your iPOS.

Yes. Please monitor the portfolio Canvas and ASU email.

 The portfolio deadline is set so the Advising Staff and the Program Chair have enough time to review and process your portfolio so you can graduate during your anticipated term.  Understand that there may be over 300 portfolios that need to be processed each term, so it is very important to adhere to the deadline. We will accept portfolios after the deadline, but any portfolios submitted after the deadline run the risk of not being processed in time for graduation. HOWEVER, we are going to do our ABSOLUTE BEST to help you graduate as planned. If you are going to miss the deadline, submit the portfolio as close to the deadline as possible and document the reason(s) for missing the deadline.  

 It is not uncommon to have a high percentage match on your portfolio report if you had previously submitted a project through Turn-It-In in a previous class. As long as you are not being flagged for anything outside of your own work, it will not cause any issues.
