CSDCAS Student Application

CSDCAS is a centralized admissions service developed for SLP and Audiology graduate clinical programs. It allows applicants to use a single web-based application and one set of materials to apply to multiple SLP or Audiology programs. It is free for programs to use and includes administrative tools to facilitate your decision-making process. If your university is ready to join the CSDCAS community, the first step is to complete the non-binding CSDCAS Participation Agreement and return it to Megan Woods at mwoods@capcsd.org.

  • All of the established programs that joined CSDCAS in the 2022-2023 cycle saw an increase in the number of applications they received. The average increase for the SLP programs was 41% and the average increase for Audiology programs was 101%.

Communication

  • Communication tools allow for easy contact with applicants at any stage of their admissions process, so you can send recruitment information, decisions, follow-ups, etc. This all can significantly increase your program's acceptance yield.

Data

  • Capture more comprehensive applicant data in which to make admission decisions.
  • Analyze local application trends against peer programs and national data in order to develop more effective recruitment strategies.
  • Export CSDCAS applicant data into your university’s student information system (e.g., Banner, PeopleSoft, etc.).
