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.
