  2. About MyFolio What is MyFolio? My Folio is your personal portfolio in E*Value. It functions like an virtual file cabinet that stores information about you. How will students use MyFolio? Students will use MyFolio to document academic, personal, and community service achievements. Users can add to their portfolio at any time, and there no limit to the volume of information that can be stored.

  3. Suggested uses for MyFolio MyFolio can be used to … • capture academic & other achievements • support course requirements • support an application for employment Are all student profiles the same? NO.All students will use a portfolio that contains several virtual folders, but each student group (baccalaureate, master’s & doctoral) will use a portfolio that’s been cust0mized for their unique needs. Who controls the content of MyFolio? YOU DO! Each user (called a MyFolio Owner) controls the information that’s entered into their own portfolio.

  4. Is MyFolio easy to use?
