Do all of the required documents have to be mailed to your office?

Is the SLP Prep program considered a SLPA program?
The CSUSM SLP Prep program is not approved as a SLPA program. Our program is not
designed to provide the clinical hours necessary to apply for SLPA licensure.
Will the courses in your SLP Prep Cohort program satisfy the 2014 ASHA Standards necessary
to apply to a Masters Program in SLP?
Some of the courses within the prep program will satisfy BOTH the prerequisite course
requirement and the ASHA standards requirement. Please refer to the MS SLP Program
Admissions requirements for more details. Consult your advisor prior to applying to ensure you
have met the requirements.
Do I earn a certificate for the SLP Prep program as either a cohort or a non-cohort
student?
A certificate designation is one of the benefits of participating in the SLP Prep
Cohort program. After completing all the courses in the cohort sequence within the
3 semesters, Extended Learning Student Services will work with the CSUSM Registrar
to add the certificate to your CSUSM transcript. You can complete the SLP Prep courses
as a non-cohort student, but a certificate designation is not provided with this option.
Who do I work with on my student status/admission at CSUSM if I'm an international
student?
All students will work directly with Extended Learning Student Services for these
matters. Please see our Advising contact information on our Department Contact Us page
Can I use my Veterans Benefits to pay for the program?
Please visit the Extended Learning Military & Veterans Services website about the eligible funding options. You can also visit the campus Veterans Center or reach out directly by phone: (760)750-4827 or email: veterans@csusm.edu. Unfortunately, these Extended Learning programs, certificates, or courses are not
eligible for the Cal Vet Fee Waiver.
How do I request Financial Aid?
Please go to Financial Aid and Scholarships for more details. You can visit the Financial Aid and Scholarship office or call
(760) 750-4850 with any questions. At the time of your application, we advise that
you complete your FAFSA application as soon as possible. Financial Aid is another
benefit available to SLP Prep Cohort students. Non-cohort students are not eligible
for financial aid.
I am currently enrolled in the SLP Prep Cohort and I may need to withdraw due to special
curcumstances that have arisen. What do I do next?
Please reach out to your advisor. They will assit you with the next steps to take.
