1:1 Portfolio Reviews are First-Come-First-Served. If you have the opportunity to sign up for a 1:1 Review, you are expected to attend or un-register if something comes up. This is out of respect for fellow SNHU students or alumni who may not have been able to secure a time slot and also for the time of the employer partners with whom you are scheduled to meet. Employer participants will be provided with your name and virtual portfolio link prior to the session, so they will be expecting professionalism through your timely attendance.
