Many programs of study have multiple portfolios associated with them. Sometimes it is a separate Professional Portfolio used to house certain artifacts of learning. Other times groups of courses that are shared among different programs are housed together in one common portfolio (in this case, you will not necessarily be enrolled in all the courses nor are you required to submit work to them).
Groups of courses that are shared among different programs are housed together in one common portfolio. You will not necessarily be enrolled in all the courses nor are you required to submit work to them all. Your grade is not affected by the presence of these extra courses in the portfolio.
