CSDCAS Participating Programs and Eligibility

Overview

Many Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology programs participate in each CSDCAS cycle. The Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology programs that do not participate in CSDCAS handle their application processes separately.

Program Eligibility

Developing Programs

CSDCAS allows applicants to apply to newly-developing Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology programs that have applied for accreditation, but have not yet received an accredited status. CSDCAS participating university programs must achieve an accredited status in order to admit students. Some universities choose to allow prospective students to apply in anticipation of receiving an accredited status. If you choose to apply to a developing program, understand that the program may be denied accreditation after the review process is complete. No application refunds will be offered if the program fails to gain accreditation. Should these programs gain an accredited status during the CSDCAS application cycle, their status will be updated.

Program Deadline Requirements

Deadlines are determined by each participating program, not CSDCAS. In addition to determining deadlines, each participating program sets requirements for their deadlines.

The following lists indicate application submission deadlines for participating and developing programs. Use the color-coding to determine your program's requirements:

Blue Deadline	Applications must be submitted by 11:59 PM ET on the deadline date. Program Materials do not have to be received by the deadline date.
Orange Deadline	Application, payments, and transcripts must be received by 11:59 PM ET on the deadline date. If you opted to use the PTE service, all PTE coursework must also be approved by 11:59 PM ET on the deadline date. To ensure items arrive on time, try to send all documents several weeks before the deadline.
Green Deadline	Applications must be verified by 11:59 PM ET on the deadline date. Applications can only be verified once all payments and transcripts have been received. To ensure your application is verified on time, try to complete your application at least four weeks before the deadline.
Programs may have additional requirements, including receipt of test scores, supplemental applications, etc. If you have questions about a program's requirements, contact the program directly.
