Content Specialty Test (CST)

The ePortfolio contains directions on how to upload your score report from your Content Specialty Test. You will have an opportunity to upload up to three attempts for test completion. You will have to scan your report to a PDF file to upload it to the ePortfolio. Follow the directions on that tab. Students who have not passed the CST by 27 units of study will have a hold placed on their student account and must see an advisor.

Courses in your program that contain NCATE Key Program Assessments.

Each course listed contains the NCATE Key Program Assessments that are required for that course. There are courses listed on the left navigational tab that are in your program. However, some of them may not be in your program track. Use the "Identify Your Program Track" tab to find out the courses for which you need to complete assessments.

For each NCATE Key Program Assessment, there is an attachment with the original assignment from your class. You will be uploading your completed assignment from your class(es). Each assessment in the ePortfolio is evaluated with a built-in rubric. You can view the rubric on the tab for each assessment. Your professor has already shared the criteria in class with you.
