General admission questions

All application forms and required documents must be received by our office no later than January 15 of each year (or the next business day if January 15 falls on a weekend).

HOW DO I APPLY FOR ADMISSION TO YOUR PROGRAM?

The application requirements and procedures are clearly outlined on our website. Please see the Admissions section of our website for more information.

ARE INTERVIEWS PART OF THE ADMISSION PROCESS?

Interviews are not part of the admission process at the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders.

I AM APPLYING TO BOTH PROGRAMS AT YOUR SCHOOL (SPEECH & AUDIOLOGY). DO I NEED TO SUBMIT TWO SEPARATE APPLICATIONS?

Applicants who would like to apply to both programs must submit two separate applications and application fees.

MY MOST RECENT TRANSCRIPTS DO NOT INCLUDE MY GRADES FROM THE CURRENT SEMESTER. THE FINAL FALL GRADES WILL BE POSTED AFTER (OR NEAR) THE APPLICATION DEADLINE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Please include the unofficial copy of your transcript(s) when you email us your PDF submission even if not all of your fall grades are available. If you are offered admission, you will then need to ensure that your university forwards official copies of your transcripts.

I BELIEVE I AM A MATURE APPLICANT. ARE THE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS DIFFERENT FOR ME?

Applicants who have been out of university for more than five years qualify as mature applicants. Mature applicants must still meet the same admission requirements as all other applicants. Confidential reference letters from employers, clinicians or supervisors can be submitted in lieu of academic references if you are a mature applicant. However, we encourage mature applicants to still submit academic references if possible.

HOW IS MY GPA CALCULATED?

The GPA used in the admission process is calculated using the most recent 60 credit-hours (equivalent to 20 half credit courses) of undergraduate studies for which grades are available at the time of application. Please note that graduate degrees, diplomas, and certificates will not be counted.

 

WHAT IS AN ACADEMIC REFERENCE?

果酱视频鈥檚 Faculty of Graduate Studies defines an academic reference as a reference written by a professor or instructor who has taught and graded an applicant in a university setting. Supervisors of undergraduate honours or graduate theses are considered as academic references. Academic references do not include references written by practicum supervisors, volunteer supervisors, or employers. Although these individuals often give valuable references, they are considered professional references. You may have one professional reference in addition to your two required academic references.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I CANNOT FIND A SUITABLE REFERENCE?

If you have completed a four-year undergraduate degree, then you should be able to find a professor or instructor who is able to complete an academic reference. If you are a mature student (meaning that you have been out of school/university for over five years), you can submit professional references. However, we encourage mature applicants to stilll submit academic references if possible.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY REFEREES TO RECEIVE THE E-REF LINK AFTER I SUBMIT MY APPLICATION?

It takes approximately five business days after you have submitted your application before your referees will receive the e-ref link. The e-ref link comes from the following email account: e-ref@dal.ca. Please remind your referees to check all of their incoming mailboxes (inbox, spam folders, etc.) to ensure they have received the e-ref link.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO HEAR FROM THE SCHOOL REGARDING THE STATUS OF MY APPLICATION?

Applicants will receive notification about their application status via email during the months of April and May. Applicants who have been placed on a waiting list will be contacted if a spot becomes available. This may happen at any time between May and the first week of September.
