Your MBA ePortfolio and Exit Requirements 


MBA ePortfolio

Industry Selection

(warning) The same industry should be used for all four ePortfolio papers, unless you have been granted an exception by the MBA Office. By focusing your research on the same industry, you will build an ePortfolio that demonstrates an in-depth understanding across the functional areas of business.

MBA ePortfolio Courses

There are four MBA Core Courses that require completion of an ePortfolio paper:

  1. ECP 6705 Advanced Managerial Economics
  2. FIN 6406 Financial Management
  3. ISM 6137 Business Analytics
  4. MAR 6815 Marketing Management

ePortfolio Papers & Rubrics

In each ePortfolio course, the instructor will evaluate your final portfolio paper using a grading rubric, which will be returned to you.  It is your responsibility to download, save, and backup all graded rubrics and final papers as soon as they are satisfactorily completed. 

You will lose access to the course in Canvas after each course ends, so it is imperative that graded rubrics are downloaded and saved in a timely manner, once they become available.

Backup your documents!

We strongly recommend using your UWF Google Drive to backup your papers and graded rubrics.  As a UWF student, you have free access to Drive and other Google apps. 

All MBA ePortfolio Criteria

Read all policies and procedures of the MBA ePortfolio on the attached document



Submitting your ePortfolio 

In your final semester of the program, you will submit your final MBA ePortfolio and complete other exit requirements. Detailed instructions for doing so will be emailed to all prospective graduates at the start of your final semester. This is an important part of our MBA Program assessment. You will not be cleared for graduation without this component completed. 

Additional Exit Requirements

In addition to submitting a Graduation Application, you will have three (3) major exit requirements, as well as one (1) optional step. 

  1. Exit Questionnaire (required)
  2. Portfolio Submission (required)
  3. Continuous Improvement Survey (required)
  4. Exit Interview (optional)

Click the expandable items below for info about each step.

All exit requirements must be completed no later than the final day of the semester, unless otherwise stated.  You will not be cleared for graduation without completing all required steps.  The earlier in the semester, the better!


The Exit Questionnaire includes three (3) parts:

  1. Portfolio Summary & Reflection
  2. Program Feedback
  3. Post-Graduation Contact Info

A link to the questionnaire will be emailed to all prospective graduates at the start of your final semester.


Your portfolio must include the four (4) graded rubrics and four (4) papers from the following courses:

  1. ECP 6705 Advanced Managerial Economics
  2. FIN 6406 Financial Management
  3. ISM 6137 Business Analytics
  4. MAR 6815 Marketing Management

Saving your Portfolio Papers & Graded Rubrics

Before submitting your portfolio, ensure that they are saved in the proper format using the following instructions:

  1. Locate your four portfolio papers and their corresponding graded rubrics
  2. Convert each file to PDF format
  3. Combine the rubric and its corresponding paper into a single PDF file
  4. Save each file using the following naming convention: LAST-FIRST_UWF ID_COURSE#.pdf
    1. ex: Smith-Sally_970000000_ISM6137.pdf

You will end up with four (4) files (one per course).  Note that, if we substituted a course for one of the above, please include the substitute course paper and rubric in its place.

Submitting your ePortfolio

  1. Log into Google Drive using your ArgoNet credentials.  Do not use your personal Google account to submit your MBA portfolio.
  2. Create a new Google Drive folder
    1. In the upper-left corner, click New.  Select Folder.
    2. Name folder using the following naming convention: LAST-FIRST_UWF ID_MBA Portfolio 202X0X
      1. ex: Smith-Sally_970000000_MBA Portfolio 202108
    3. Click Create.  This will return you to the My Drive page.
  3. Upload your portfolio files to the new Google Drive folder.
    1. In the upper-left corner, click New.  Select File upload.
    2. Locate and select the file to upload. Click Open.
    3. Repeat these steps until all four (4) files are uploaded.
  4. Share your portfolio folder.
    1. After all four (4) files have been uploaded, return to the My Drive page.
    2. Right-click on the new Google Drive folder. Select Share.
    3. Enter "mba@uwf.edu" in the Add people and groups field.
      1. Make sure the Notify people box is checked.
      2. Add a note (optional).
      3. Click Send.
    4. The MBA Office will then receive an email notification that you have shared your portfolio folder with us. We will follow up with you within a few days to confirm receipt.


A link to the survey will be emailed to all prospective graduates at the start of your final semester.


If you would like to have a one-on-one discussion about the MBA program, provide additional feedback, or address concerns or issues you may, you may schedule an exit interview with your advisor.  The exit interview is optional; opting out will not affect your eligibility to graduate.

All other exit requirements (items 1-3) must be completed at least 72 hours before an exit interview.  Failure to do so could result in your appointment being rescheduled.

Scheduling instructions will be emailed to all prospective graduates at the start of your final semester.
