How do I add education experience to my profile?

[#1]

Your Portfolium profile is a great place to showcase your current and previous educational experiences. As you enter your education experiences you will have the chance to attach projects you completed and tag teammates you have worked with.

Open Profile

To open your profile, click the Me icon in the toolbar [1], and then click the View Profile link [2].

Add Education

Click the Add Education link.

Add Education Information

In the New Education tray, you can add details about your education. As you start typing your school name in the School field [1], Portfolium will display search results. When you see the name of your school, click the name [2].

To add an image for your education entry, click the Add an image icon [3] and select an image from your computer or connected social media accounts.

You can enter information about your major [1], minor [2], concentration [3], and degree [4], as applicable.

Note: The major, minor, concentration, degree, and image fields are optional.

Add Dates Attended

Use the Start Date drop-down menus [1] to add the date you started at the school. Use the Graduation Date drop-down menus [2] to enter your graduation date, or your expected graduation date.

Note: The display order of your entries is determined by the end date of each entry in reverse chronological order. If two entries have the same end date, those items will be arranged alphabetically.

Add Education Details

In the Cumulative GPA field [1], enter your cumulative GPA.

In the Description field [2], type a description of your schooling and experience.

To add hyperlinks in the description, use markdown formatting. Type the text you want to link in brackets [3] and then type the destination URL between parentheses [4]. There should be no space between the closing bracket and the first parenthesis.

When you are ready to save your education experience details, click the Save Changes button [5].

Note: Both the GPA and Description fields are optional.

Attach Project

If you want to attach a project to the education experience, select a project you have previously created [1] or click the Add new project link [2]. If you are attaching multiple projects and want to customize the order in which they display, select the Arrange order toggle [3].

Save Education Experience

When you are ready to publish your work experience to your profile, click the Done button.

View Education Experience

View the added education information.

To edit any of the education details, click the corresponding Edit icon [1]. To add additional education, click the Add button [2]. To move the Education section up or down in your profile, click the Up or Down Arrow icon [3].

Note: Portfolium will arrange your education experience in reverse chronological order, based on the dates you enter. If you do not enter your education experiences in reverse chronological order you may have to refresh the page for Portfolium to rearrange the experiences so they display in the correct order.
