Adult Learner FAQs
Experiential Learning Portfolio Presentation
Thousands of Barry University adult students have completed portfolios and considered this experience time and cost effective as well as personally rewarding.
Here are what three students said about their portfolio experience:
-
Student 1
"You know, it sort of gave me more pep in my step and actually gave me a sense of accomplishment and pride. It also made me realize how marketable I am. It did, it did a lot of things for me but it really gave me a sense of empowerment."
-
Student 2
"It really made me stop and think. It reinforced my belief in myself. I tend to get so caught up in everyday situations that I forget that I ever did something, you know, fifteen years ago. I think the portfolio is one of the most rewarding pieces of work that I have ever done."
-
Student 3
"The insight gained from [my] portfolio helped me to see, as the slogan goes, 'You've come a long way baby'! in my accomplishments, achievements, [and] my development. A degree with a portfolio makes you assess your professional life; without a portfolio, you just know your academic strengths, but you don't know your professional strengths."

NC-SARA is an agreement among member states, districts, and territories that establishes comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance education courses and programs. NC-SARA makes it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions based in another state. Current authorized SARA member states include the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and all states except California.

At the time of the application, the state has approved the following Barry website for the complaint process inclusion: https://www.barry.edu/dean-of-students/
If the institutional complaint process is not satisfactory, students may file a complaint with the following: Office of Articulation, Department of Education, articulation@fldoe.org, 850-245-0427.
