Click here to log on to your Truman Portfolio and Vault.

The Liberal Arts Portfolio is a chance for you to show off your best work while at Truman, and a chance for you to reflect on your time here. It consists of a set of explanations, reflections, and artifacts (papers, assignments, projects, artwork, recordings, video recordings, and other concrete records) that students are asked to complete during their time at Truman. The compilation and reflection of the portfolio is done as part of the senior capstone experience administered by each major program. Most students complete the portfolio as part of their senior seminar or capstone experience.

The Portfolio Project is an evolving system, so students are asked to save all of their work done at the College Level. General information is given on this page, but specific pages can be found by logging into the appropriate system, below.

To ensure smooth graduation, you want to have your portfolio completed on time:
Spring Graduation - First Friday in April
Summer Graduation - Friday after the July 4th holiday
Fall Graduation - Second Friday in November

Portfolios received late are handled in the order in which they are received. If you are having a problem that may require a late submission, please e-mail the portfolio office at portfolio@truman.edu so that we can help you handle the difficulties.

Completion of the Portfolio is a graduation requirement. Failure to complete the portfolio will result in a transcript and verification hold. Truman will be unable to send out a formal transcript and wil not be able to verify your graduation with employers or graduate schools.

Helpful Tips

• Begin your portfolio early in your Truman career.
• Backup all files or documents from all classes. Save them in the Vault.
• Read all prompts.
• Submit your work that best fits each section. 
• Respond thoughfully to the questions on each prompt.
• Be generous with specific explanations, descriptions or assessments of your work. What is obvious to you when you created the ideas and products is not always as obvious to faculty outside your discipline.
• Work on one category at a time.
