Global College requires that each student produce a portfolio of learning in order to receive credit for the term's work. The Portfolio is the concrete manifestation which serves to document a student's learning during the course of a semester. While largely a written document, the portfolio may include slides, photos, paintings, sketches, tapes, videos and any other items that demonstrate learning acquisition and experience. Interviews, poetry, accounts of failures as well as successes, fiction and other imaginative and creative elements are encouraged.

The portfolio should contain various sections, that reflect diverse areas of exploration pursued during the period of study. The advisor in charge of a particular student's portfolio will evaluate the document according to the following criteria:

• A reasonable and logical structure
• A table of contents
• A bibliography
• A self evaluation
• Copies of the student's learning plan
• Documentation of all seminars, lectures, demonstrations, field trips and other activities from the Area Studies Program
• Observation of the process of learning that transpired
• Demonstration of understanding. This should include documentation of the student's knowledge of the discipline undertaken, written in a descriptive style and illustrating a theoretical or analytical level of intellectual understanding
• Properly cited references
