Apply to our Program
Welcome prospective students! For admission to the professional degree programs (AuD
and MA) in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, students are required
to use a centralized application service known as the Communication Sciences & Disorders
Centralized Application Service (CSDCAS). All applications will be reviewed only through
CSDCAS.
Students are only admitted once per academic year and will start their program in
either the summer or fall semester depending on their academic background. All application
materials for the professional degree programs (including academic transcripts, 3
letters of recommendation, personal essays, analysis essay, and video uplink) must
be received and verified by CSDCAS by February 1st for that year’s admissions class.

Notice about Professional Licensure
You are applying for admission to a program that may lead to professional licensure.
The following questions relate to your potential ability to receive licensure.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or crime(s) other than minor traffic offenses?
Yes No
Have you ever been denied licensure for the profession for which you might apply for
licensure or had discipline imposed by another state's licensing board? Yes No
Have you ever had a civil suit judgment entered against you or entered into an adverse
civil settlement? Yes No
If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, it is possible that you may be
denied licensure at the conclusion of the degree program to which you are applying.
Please review the licensure requirements specific to the discipline by contacting
the specific licensing board. It is your responsibility to understand the criteria
necessary for licensure and to ensure compliance with those criteria. If you have
any questions about the licensure requirements and your ability to be licensed, please
contact Ms.
Katherine Mendez
for Speech Language Pathology and Dr. Jordan Alyse Coffelt for Audiology.
Criminal convictions may also make you ineligible to participate in any clinical experiences
included in your program, therefore necessitating your removal from the program and/or
impacting your ability to successfully complete course and program requirements.
Your signature on your CSDCAS application shall serve as your acknowledgment that
you are aware of the potential impact if you answer yes to any of the questions above,
that you have conducted due diligence in determining your potential eligibility for
licensure, and that you are aware that certain factors may prevent your eligibility
for licensure.
