Portfolios are never sent until the portfolio fee is paid. Students should never send a portfolio directly to a department. Portfolios are sent out by the Regents Office accompanied by the appropriate evaluation forms. Before submitting portfolios for evaluation, students should submit drafts to the Regents Director. These drafts do not have to be in perfect form, but the narratives should be complete and the nature of the documentation clear.
Drafts allow spotting problems while students are in the early stages of the writing process.
Portfolio writers must adhere to all published regulations of the State Regents Program and instructions put out by the WVU Regents Office. These include the WVU Departmental Guidelines provided by the WVU Regents Office. Students should be aware that portfolios that do not meet such regulations and guidelines will not be sent out. Students should not expect to graduate within the same semester in which their portfolios are submitted for evaluation. A student whose evaluation is not completed in time for one graduation should reapply to be placed on the next list for the next graduation.
