E-Portfolio Submission

After a student has successfully completed (B or better) all required courses and has removed all Incomplete grades from the student’s record, the student can submit their e-portfolio for formal assessment.   Courses taken in the graduation semester must be successfully completed during the semester.

The e-portfolio should be submitted by the following dates:  Fall: November 1; Winter: March 1; Spring/Summer: June 20 or August 15.  (Students who complete their coursework Spring Term and wish to graduate at the end of June must complete and submit their e-portfolios by June 20.  Students who wish to graduate Summer Term or Spring/Summer Term must complete and submit their e-portfolios by August 15.)

Each semester, shortly after the due dates for graduation application, graduating students are given access to a semester-specific LIS E-Portfolio Site. The site appears in a box right above their current Blackboard classes on the student's Blackboard homepage. The deadlines for graduation application are posted regularly on both the SLIS and WSU websites.  (The e-portfolio requirement is only for students who began the MLIS degree in Fall 2009 or after.)

The student has 10-14 days in wich to submit all the required e-portfolio documents through the Blackboard LIS E-Portfolio Site. This submission process is identical to submitting an assignment through a normal Blackboard course. 

After the SLIS faculty has graded all of the portfolios an email will be sent out to the student that indicates the final assessment of their e-portfolio and what, if any, action is required on the student's part. Students can check Blackboard for their results.
