(You may choose to print out the whole thing; it will cost a few dollars more than buying it at the FedEx Store on 56th and J Streets. Whichever you choose, a hard copy is required).
Portfolios are due on Thursday, May 16th in my office from 10am-1pm. No late portfolios will be accepted. I will not be there, but Professor Aldridge will. Please leave your portfolio in the box labeled 11M. Grades will be posted to MySacState no earlier than after finals, so please don’t send me emails about your grades before then. If you would like to pick up your portfolio, you can email me before Fall semester begins and we can make arrangements then.
