Audiology Au.D.
Admissions Deadlines
This program is accepting applications for the summer 2024 term. The application deadline is Jan. 15.
All applications must be submitted and received by the application deadline for admission consideration.
Prerequisites: This program assumes an undergraduate background in audiology and/or speech-language pathology. Students who do not have such a background must fulfill academic requirements as determined by their major advisor. These requirements must be met before admission to the graduate program.
Admission Requirements: CSDCAS
Submit the following items to the Communication Sciences and Disorders Centralized Application Service (CSDCAS):
- Application for Admission
- Official transcripts from each college or university attended (including UNC). UNC currently requires a 3.0 minimum grade point average for regular admission to a graduate program.
- Three letters of recommendation. Please use the online format provided by CSDCAS.
- Current curriculum vitae or resume
- Written response (see question 1 prompt)
- Video submission (see question 2 prompt)
Admission Requirements: Graduate School
Applicants must apply to the Communication Sciences and Disorders Centralized Application Service (CSDCAS) before the program area reviews the applicant’s request for admission. Failure to submit all required materials will delay the evaluation and screening of your application.
Each applicant must:
- Possess a baccalaureate degree from an Institutionally Accredited college or university or a comparable degree from a foreign institution.
-
Have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or better (on a 4.00 scale) for the most recent degree earned or current degree in progress.
-
If you are still completing your bachelor's degree at the time you apply, admission will be based on your current cumulative GPA, and you will need to re-submit your official transcript (showing your conferred degree and final GPA) during your first semester. If your final GPA fell below 3.00, you will be given additional requirements as defined by the academic program that must be met within one calendar year to remain enrolled at UNC.
- If you have completed a master's degree, or at least 18 credit hours towards a master's degree, the GPA of your master's work will be used.
-
Take the following steps to be considered for admission:
Step 1: Complete the Application
Complete the Communication Sciences and Disorders Centralized Application Service (CSDCAS) application.
Step 2: Request Transcripts
Please Note: As all official transcripts are submitted to CSDCAS, they do not need to be resubmitted to the Office of Admissions.
However, if you are admitted to UNC and you were still working on your bachelor's
degree at your time of application, during your first semester you will need to submit
an official transcript to the Office of Admissions from the institution you graduated
from, showing your degree was conferred. If your final GPA fell below 3.00, you will
be given additional academic stipulations to remain enrolled at UNC.
Exceptions: If an applicant intends to use Veteran’s Education Benefits, an official transcript
from all colleges or universities attended will be required in order to maintain compliance with Veteran’s Affairs policies.
Official transcripts from U.S. institutions should be sent via mail directly from
the educational institution in an unopened, sealed envelope or through an electronically
secure digital program from the issuing institution.
Mailed transcripts should be sent to:
University of Northern Colorado
Office of Admissions
Campus Box 10
501 20th St
Greeley, CO 80639
Electronic transcripts from U.S. institutions should be sent directly from the educational
institution to: grad.admissions@unco.edu.
The Office of Admissions does not accept email, scanned or PDF transcripts directly
from applicants. All official transcripts, submitted as part of the application process,
are retained by UNC and not returned to applicants or admitted students.
UNC retains submitted transcripts, from institutions other than UNC, for admitted
students for up to five years after graduation or date of last attendance at UNC.
Transcripts provided by applicants who were not admitted, denied admissions or did
not complete their application are destroyed after one (1) year. The Office of Admissions will make every attempt to use previously submitted transcripts if they are within
these time frames. However, if the Office of Admissions cannot locate previously submitted transcripts, the transcripts fall outside the time
frames listed above or they are considered illegible, applicants must provide new
transcripts.
Applicants with academic credentials from outside the U.S. will need to follow the requirements for submission of foreign transcripts. Click on the Transcripts tab for information about international transcripts.
Step 3: Note About the GRE
This program does not require GRE scores.
Additional Information
Once you apply to the UNC Graduate School and your application packet is complete, your application will be reviewed by the Graduate School and then sent to the faculty/program for an admission recommendation.
