Application FAQs
- When should I apply to the Audiology (AuD), Masters (SLP), or PhD programs?
Students applying to the MA and AuD programs must have their application verified by CSDCAS and Indiana University (IU CAS) by January 1 (Dec. 1 for international students) to begin in the fall semester of that year.
Students applying to the PhD program should apply to IU CAS by January 1 (Dec. 1 for international students).
- How do I apply to the AuD or MA program?
Applying to either graduate program is a two-step process. You must apply to both CSDCAS and IU CAS. These application portals look similar, but they are both required. Your application must be verified by CSDCAS and IU CAS by January 1 (Dec. 1 if you are an international student). Please be aware that it can take over 2 weeks for applications to be verified, even after you have uploaded all required materials. It is your responsibility to ensure that your application is verified before the deadline.
Required elements of your application are:
- Official transcripts from every institution you have attended
- CSDCAS Verified Academic history
- Three Letters of Recommendation
- Personal Essay (recommended 300-500 words)

- I am (or was) a student at Indiana University. Do I need to include my transcripts in my application?
Yes, you still need to upload your transcripts into CSDCAS and IU CAS.
- Who should write my letters of recommendation?
The Admissions Committee prefers that all three required letter writers be able to comment on your intellectual and academic potential for a program in speech-language pathology or audiology. This includes individuals who are in academic or clinical roles (e.g., clinical or academic faculty); it may also include clinical professionals who have had the opportunity to observe your knowledge, abilities, strategies, or habits that suggest success at the graduate level.
- Do all of the application materials have to be submitted at the same time?
No. You may upload materials to CSDCAS and IU CAS as you are able. But all materials must be verified by the application deadline (January 1 or Dec. 1 for international students).
- I received college credits from a college/university while in high school. Do I need to report this institution in the application?
No. You do not need to report or submit a transcript from the institution in which you received college credits while in high school.
- Do you require the GRE?
No.
- Are there any specific questions or topics I should address in my 300-500 word personal statement?
We have no specific requirements about the content of the personal statement other than what is stated in the graduate school application instructions (i.e., current goals, career plans, and reason for selecting the field).
- Who do I contact if I have questions about the online application?
Please contact the University Graduate School at 812-855-8853 or grdschl@indiana.edu.
- When will I hear about my application?
Admission letters are typically sent out in early March indicating whether a student has been accepted and whether the student is being offered funding or is being considered for funding. Students who are accepted to our programs have until April 15 to reply.
