Submitting a Writing PortfolioNew students who meet the eligibility criteria may apply for ENG 101 credit (4.0 hours) by submitting a portfolio of their writing for review. The portfolio is an opportunity for entering, first-year students to demonstrate their range of writing abilities and their understanding of academic writing more particularly. The portfolio review process is designed for incoming, first-year students. However, transfer students and upperclassmen who meet the eligibility requirements may submit a portfolio to apply for a possible waiver of the ENG 101 requirement with authorization from the portfolio administrator; transfer students and upperclassmen are not eligible for course credit. If transfer students or upperclassmen pass the portfolio review, they do not have to take ENG 101; instead, their ENG 101 requirement is simply waived. Because they may include work previously submitted for college courses in their portfolios, they are not awarded course credit for passing the portfolio review. Students should consult with their academic advisers to determine whether or not they need to earn additional hours of credit in another area to meet the minimum number needed to earn a degree in their program of study. The department will review portfolios to determine whether a student has already mastered the learning objectives of ENG 101. If the portfolio passes the review process, the student will not be required to take the course. If the portfolio does not demonstrate that the student has fulfilled the full range of objectives for ENG 101, neither credit nor waiver will be awarded. Students who do not receive credit or waiver must complete ENG 101 to graduate. How to Submit a Writing Portfolio Please read the guidelines for submitting a writing portfolio carefully. Students who do not follow all instructions will not be considered for credit or waiver.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact the portfolio administrator:
