An OFFICIAL transcript showing your FINAL SPRING GRADES must be submitted to UNCG Undergraduate Admissions BY MAY 15th for your application to be considered by our Admissions Committee.

OFFICIAL transcripts must be sent directly to “UNCG Undergraduate Admissions”, electronically, through Parchment or the National Student Clearinghouse, or via Mail (visit your college’s website to submit the request).

• Go to your former school’s website, and search “transcript” or “request transcript”.
• Follow the instructions to send an Electronic Transcript; there are usually links to the transcript clearinghouse used by your school (this may be The National Student Clearinghouse, Parchment, or something else).
• Follow the instructions to type in/select the school where the transcript is coming “from”, and input all of your personal information.
• Select “University or College” in the drop-down menu for the “Recipient” (or, when asked, “where does the transcript need to be sent?”).
• Select UNCG from the list of schools in the drop-down menu (it may be spelled out “University of North Carolina Greensboro”, or, “UNC Greensboro”).
• If you selected UNCG in the previous step, you will NOT have to enter an address or email address for the “recipient”, it will be populated automatically.
• Transcripts uploaded to your Materials tab in the UNCG Application Portal, or any other way are considered “Unofficial”.

This advising/registration section is specifically for students applying for fall admission to CSD’s Undergraduate or Prerequisite Program.

Advising:

• Reach out to your HHS Advisor for advising and your Advising Code/Pin well ahead of your registration window (find this in UNCGenie).
• New, Transfer, or 2nd Degree/Prereq students admitted to the CSD Program through the Secondary Application process will be advised by HHS Advising for fall advising. You’ll be assigned a CSD advisor mid August.

Registration:

Summer Registration (opens February 1st for continuing UNCG students ). All students may take CSD 334 Intro to Audiology in the Summer.

Fall Registration (“JR” year on the Plan of Study for the SLP or Audiology Track):

Seats in CSD’s required 300+ level courses are reserved for students admitted through CSD’s Secondary Application Process. Keep this in mind if you experience delays that affect registration (i.e.: registration errors, etc.); if you are admitted to the program starting this fall, a seat is reserved for you in all required CSD courses.

• Applicants with a Cumulative GPA ≥2.7 will be approved to register during their registration window (and before official admission to the CSD Program).
• Applicants with a Cumulative GPA between 2.5 and 2.69 should register for an alternate fall schedule while seats are still widely available in other courses. We encourage this so that you will have a seat in courses you need in the event that you are not admitted to the CSD program this fall.
• Cumulative GPA. This may not be the GPA showing in UNCGenie; your advisor can help you calculate your Cumulative GPA for all colleges attended if you are not sure if you meet our requirements.

Early registration does NOT waive the application/admission and transcript submission requirements.

Applicants must complete all application requirements AND be admitted to the CSD Program to remain enrolled in 300+ level CSD courses.

CSD Applications received/completed after May 15th may be considered for CSD’s Waitlist by CSD’s Admission Committee, but there is no guarantee that will be an option.

We encourage you to complete the application and submit ALL required transcripts by the May 15th deadline. Be sure to communicate with us well ahead of the deadline if you have ANY questions that have not been answered here.

After May 15th, typically by May 25th: ALL Applicants will receive an email indicating their application status after the CSD Admission Committee meets and reviews all completed applications.

All admitted students will receive fall registration information after submitting their Intent to Enroll in the CSD Program; use this information to register or to confirm that your schedule is correct.

• 55 credit hours must be completed by May 15th to be eligible for admission to the CSD Program.

• You will be required to send an OFFICIAL transcript to UNCG after your final summer grades have posted to your transcript. Your admission to our program can be affected if your final summer grades do not meet SPAU program requirements.

EMAIL ammeyers2@uncg.edu and csd@uncg.edu once you have submitted your summer grades so we can verify receipt of and review your final transcript.

REVIEW the Registration Guide for step-by-step registration instructions, to Add/Drop courses, or troubleshoot registration errors in Schedule Hero and/or UNCGenie.

If attempts to resolve registration errors as directed at the link above do not work, submit the 2026-2027 CSD Course Override/ Registration Assistance Form to the CSD Department.

Visit the NCBOESLPA website for detailed requirements.

More details coming soon…

Apply to UNCG’s CSD Prerequisite Program by May 15th to take prerequisite courses through our on-campus undergraduate program at UNCG. Visit our application and admission requirements page for details (fall start only).

• Your application for graduate school may be submitted while you are enrolled in prerequisite courses.
• All prerequisite courses must be completed by the first day of the graduate level courses.
• Many CSD programs offer prerequisite coursework or “leveling” programs online.

Most students who have completed a bachelor’s degree in another field need to complete all prerequisites required by our MA SLP Program.

Due to the high volume of inquiries we receive, we are unable to review prerequisite coursework individually prior to admission to graduate school. Instead, we ask that you carefully self-evaluate your prerequisite coursework using the following steps:

• Compare the course descriptions of your completed or planned coursework against the catalog descriptions of our Prerequisite courses (scroll down to see our prerequisite course list).
• Audit Your Syllabus: Ensure the core concepts of your courses align closely with UNCG’s standards.
