Student Portfolio Checklist
To assist you in program planning, music majors are asked to keep a portfolio that will document your career as a music student. Through it, you should be able to keep a tangible record of the skills and abilities that you develop while you are at Meredith. The portfolio will also be very helpful to you in the development of a resume and when you apply for employment or for graduate study.
Below is a checklist of items that should be included in your portfolio. You can see that it should be begun during your freshman year. Please take your portfolio to all preregistration conferences so that your adviser may check to see that it is being kept current. Your portfolio will be reviewed during your Sophomore/Transfer Conference and at your final conference during your senior year.
Regular review of student portfolios will assist all of us in the assessment of our program. We value the contribution that you will make in this area. Please take seriously the maintenance of your portfolio.
