REMINDER: Final Exam Portfolio Timeline__Spring 2019

Dear Students,

All students earning the M.L.S. are required to take the Final Exam Portfolio as part of the degree requirement. Once a student successfully completes 24 hours, s/he becomes eligible to take the Final Exam Portfolio.

To participate in the Final Exam Portfolio, the student must be enrolled in at least one class during the semester when the Final Exam Portfolio takes place. Students who apply to graduate for the Spring 2019 or Summer 2019 semesters do not need to apply to take the Final Exam Portfolio.

Spring 2019 Graduates: Spring 2019 graduates must apply to graduate by Wednesday, January 30, 2019, and by doing so, you will be automatically enrolled to take the Final Exam Portfolio this spring.

Summer 2019 graduates: While the graduate school lists varying dates for summer graduation applications, IN ORDER TO BE AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED in the Final Exam this spring, you must apply to graduate by Wednesday, January 30, 2019.

All other students who have successfully completed 24 hours but who are not graduating in the Spring 2019 or Summer 2019 semesters and who want to take the Final Exam Portfolio MUST apply to take the Final Exam Portfolio by Wednesday, February 6, 2019.

The Final Exam Portfolio is administered once in the fall semester and once in the spring semester. The Final Exam Portfolio is not offered in summer semesters. Plan ahead.

The faculty have set the following timeline for the Spring 2019 Final Exam Portfolio:
