New Student Orientation:

 

Once each academic year, at the start of the fall semester, the Department holds a new student orientation meeting. All newly matriculated students are required to attend. You will be informed by regular mail of the date, time, and location of the event.

 

The ASHA Knowledge and Skills Acquisition (KASA) Summary Form for Speech-Language Pathology.

 

All students who apply for Certification in Speech-Language Pathology must use the KASA form to track their acquisition of the knowledge and skills required for ASHA clinical certification. During program planning and new student orientation, the KASA form will be reviewed and questions regarding departmental and student responsibilities concerning the form will be addressed. Please see Appendix A for a copy of the KASA summary form.

 

Student Folder:

 

Students are advised to develop a folder containing copies of all documentation concerning the Department, University, ASHA, State Department of Health Services (licensing), the State Department of Education (teacher certification) and other professional agencies. Copies of all information which refer IN ANY WAY to program activities, clinical clock hours, or any of the certifications or licenses you will be responsible for in the future should be retained.

 

The Department and University attempt to maintain all critical documentation, however, they cannot be held responsible for lost or misplaced docu­ments.

 

You should retain copies of all University catalogs and semester bulletins which pertain to all semesters in which you were taking courses. Course dates, titles, instructors and course catalog de­scriptions may be required by certification and/or licensing agencies after you graduate.
