Your portfolio should encompass all your work in the best quality possible. If you have physical work, it should be scanned with a high-quality scanner or photographed in natural light. The size, materials and length of working time should also be encompassed, I just used photoshop to add a simple white banner and black text right under the image. And, of course, ignore me if you're a digital artist.

File your portfolio in variety of ways, from a Google Drive folder, a single pdf, or a printed portfolio (which is what I recommend, not too expensive at Staples). These are all great if said school has a submission portal. However some don't, and just ask for a link to a website. The website doesn't have to be brilliantly designed, so even Google Sites could work provided your informations there.

Submit these with your general app, and also keep in mind: different colleges have different perspectives! Check their websites and see what they want, in terms of how to submit and also what to submit. Hope this could help!
