Students opting to seek work\/life experience credits develop a portfolio relevant to the area of specialization they are seeking.\u00a0 The portfolios must reflect RBA program learning outcome achievement as well as the program learning outcomes for the department with whom they are seeking credits.\u00a0 The portfolio is developed using an established template including an autobiography, resume, letters of reference, demonstrated on the job clock hours, writing samples and demonstration of PLOs.\u00a0 Portfolios are submitted to the RBA office during the final semester of the student\u2019s academic career.\u00a0 The RBA outcomes are reviewed by the RBA Director utilizing an established rubric.\u00a0 Departmental Program Learning Outcomes are sent to the respective departments for review and approval.\u00a0 Following successful review, the portfolio grades are entered on the student\u2019s transcripts (ex. EDUC 000 \u00a03 hrs credit).\u00a0 *Students may also elect to challenge an existing course through portfolio review rather than the generalized portfolio option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
