Graduation Portfolio
As New Century College values active learning and self-assessment, the college asks all students to explore their entire educational experience through the creation of comprehensive graduation portfolios.
In these portfolios, students assess critically their academic knowledge and practice, and communicate through extensive self-reflection the value of their undergraduate work, their understanding of their learning process and their goals for the future.
This portfolio includes (among other elements):
- a reflective analytical essay
- an self-assessment (supported by individual assignments) in each of the nine competencies which support the NCC curriculum
- an examination of experiential and collaborative learning
- a researched plan for the transition from college to the workplace
A faculty reviewer (chosen by the individual student) reads the portfolio and meets the author for an exit interview. Only when the faculty reviewer accepts the portfolio (as satisfactory or with distinction) is a student cleared for graduation.
