The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of international students during the COVID-19 pandemic at a Historically Black University in the Southeast region of the United States. Mixed methods approach was used in this study to examine students' perceptions giving us the chance to expand our understanding of online learning in emergency situations. The study's sample size was 102 respondents and their responses were categorized into positive responses, negative responses, and neutral responses. The result enabled the development of some suggestions to make sure that the standard of the academic experience would not be harmed post-epidemic when ePortfolio is more widely and consistently used than it was before the epidemic. The study findings reveal significant support and positive perceptions regarding ePortfolio use through emergency situations like the COVID-19 pandemic.
