How do I find my old ePortfolio?

As of June 2026, SLCC ended its contract with Digication. All ePortfolios that were previously hosted on Digication may no longer be accessible.

Go to SharePoint > Discover > Sites, and search for your ePortfolio in the list. You can use the search bar in the top right corner to find it.

Go to sites.google.com and check the list of sites in your current google account. If you cannot find the one you are looking for, ensure that you are logged into the right account.

Using Google Sites

Nope! ePortfolios can be hosted on any website hosting/blogging platform such as Google Sites, Blogspot, Neocities, Tumblr, etc.

For SLCC courses that have an ePortfolio assignment, ensure that your professors/faculty can view your published site WITHOUT an external account.
