Welcome to the GRTS Student E-Portfolio website. The student e-portfolio is an electronic copy of student assessments and student coursework samples. The student learning e-portfolio is intended to serve two main purposes. First, the student learning e-portfolio documents student progress in the development of essential knowledge, competencies, and values, and provides a foundation to foster continued growth. Second, the student learning e-portfolio serves as an objective means for faculty assess collective student growth and to evaluate overall program effectiveness. Participation in all required assessments and submission of all portfolio documents is a responsibility of the student and a requirement for graduation.
