Portfolio Assessment

In cases where national standardized exams or institutional exams are not available, a student may be able to complete a portfolio that demonstrates his/her experience and college-level learning.  Augusta Tech will consider a portfolio, if that experience demonstrates mastery of competencies taught within an Augusta Tech degree , diploma, or certificate program.  Faculty will base exemption decisions on the content of the completed portfolio.
