Admissions and Advising

Undergraduate Program

Admission Criteria and Competitiveness

Admission is based on cumulative university grade-point average (GPA), ACT or SAT score, letters of recommendation, and the student's letter of application. The Division of Communication Disorders typically accepts approximately 40 junior level students per year. It is estimated that students will need to have at least 3.0 overall GPA to be considered for admission.

Advising Information

Advising for lower division and transfer students not yet admitted to the program is conducted by the Office of Student Affairs. Students with questions regarding transferring, University Studies Requirements, and the application process may come in to the Office of Student Affairs and talk with the advisor.

Advising for students admitted to the Communication Disorders Program is conducted by CD Faculty Members at 900 South Limestone Street. Please phone for an appointment at (859) 323-1100, ext. 80493.

Graduate Program

The Graduate Program in Communication Disorders admits students in the Fall term only. Applications for the Fall term must be received prior to February 1st.

Graduate Assistantship Information

Assistantships, scholarships, and financial support may be available from either the UK Graduate School or from the Program in Communication Disorders. Financial support is limited and may occasionally be available to highly qualified applicants. All incoming graduate students are automatically considered for any graduate assistantship support that may be available from the Program in Communication Disorders - no separate application is necessary. You will be notified by the Director of Graduate Studies if you are awarded financial support. Also, be sure to check the UK Graduate School Website for assistantships and support funding that may be available separately from the UK Graduate School.
