Apply now! Submit your application to CSDCAS Centralized Application Service.
Deadlines
- The application cycle for Fall 2027 is now open, and the deadline to apply is February 1, 2027.
- Applications completed by January 1, 2027 will receive priority scheduling for online interviews. However, applications submitted to CSDCAS after February 1 will be accepted until the cohort is met for 2027.
Application Materials
- Personal essays: Download our form (available soon), fill in your responses, and upload to the “Program Documents” section within your CDSCAS application.
- Official transcripts: Submit an official transcript from each undergraduate institution you attended to CSDCAS. GPA is calculated based on your entire undergraduate record from all institutions attended. If you do not submit all of your official transcripts, we will be unable to review your application.
- Three letters of recommendation: Letters should also be submitted through CSDCAS. Ideally, at least two letters of recommendation should be from academic faculty. In the CSDCAS system, for each letter of recommendation you request, you will be asked to respond YES or NO to the question “I waive my right of access to this evaluation”. It is strongly recommended that you select YES to this question as it encourages the letter writer to provide an objective and honest appraisal of your abilities. Some recommenders will refuse to write a letter if you do not select YES. Furthermore, our admissions committee may weigh the impact of any letter of recommendation differently based on your response to the question. Therefore, we recommend you say YES.
- GRE scores (optional): GRE scores are optional for the MS SLP and the AuD programs. Strong GRE scores may increase your likelihood of admission and funding. Low GRE scores will be discussed as part of your application review, but you will not be denied admission or funding based on score alone. If you choose to submit your scores, you must submit scores from within the past 5 years. You will not be penalized for choosing not to share your score. Note that admitted AuD students who later apply for the dual AuD/PhD program WILL be required to submit GRE scores (as will all PhD applicants in SLP or Audiology). If you are strongly interested in the AuD/PhD option you may wish to submit GRE scores at the time of applying for the AuD program, or you will be required to take and submit scores before being considered for the AuD/PhD program later (see the Dual AuD/PhD program description).
- TOEFL or IELTS scores (international applicants): If you are a non-Canadian international student, you must submit your TOEFL or IELTS score to CSDCAS. Use code C122.
Application Fee
- You may be eligible for an application fee waiver through CSDCAS. See the CSDCAS Application Fees and Fee Waivers site for fees and for fee waiver information.
Financial Support
- All admitted AuD and SLP MS (traditional program only) students receive a 30% tuition scholarship every semester, and are considered for additional merit scholarships to further reduce cost. More information about funding is available.
- You will be considered for these scholarship automatically, based on your CSDCAS application. No separate application is needed.
