AY 2019-20 and earlier
For advising information in AY 2019-20 and earlier, please refer to Dr. Chao-Yang Lee's advising webpage.
Additional information on some academic and professional issues can also be found on Dr. John McCarthy's blog.
1. What are the professional carreers in HSLS?
According to the Association of Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), speech-language pathologists (SLPs) work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders in children and adults. Audiologists are experts in providing services in the prevention, diagnosis, and evidenced-based treatment of hearing and balance disorders for people of all ages. Additionally, speech, language, and hearing researchers conduct scientific experiments.
2. What academic degrees are required to be an SLP or Audiologist?
You need a Mater's degree to be an SLP and a doctor's degree to be an Audiologist. If you want to be a scientist or researcher in HSLS, you may need a PhD degree.
3. What can I do with a bachelor's degree in HSLS?
At the undergraduate level, students are not yet specialized in SLP, Audiology, or research. Potential careers (possibly with additional courses and trainings) include:
4. What is OHIO Honors Program? How to apply?
The OHIO Honors Program integrates the Bobcat and Honors experiences at Ohio Univesity. This program is open for all prospective students who are interested in any major, include HSLS, to apply.
If you are interested in joining this program, here are some application instructions.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Undergraudate Admissions (☎ 740-593-4100, ✉ admissions@ohio.edu).5. Can I request a campus tour and speak to someone in the HSLS program?
Absolutely. The Undergraduate Admissions Office at Ohio University hosts virtual and in-person campus tours for prospective and admitted students. Click on Ohio University's Campus-Tour webpage to obtain further information and request a campus tour. As part of the in-person campus tour, there will be an one-hour session for HSLS majors. You will have the opportunity to speak with a HSLS faculty member and possibly current students. The HSLS program does not host separate open-house events.
NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person campus tours may not be readily available these days.
6. What to do if I have other questions?
For additional information, you may visit the Ohio University Undergraduate Admissions webpage. You may also contact the HSLS Main Office at csd@ohio.edu or the HSLS Undergraduate Coordinator Dr. Fuh-Cherng Jeng at jeng@ohio.edu.
1. What to do if I have advising questions?
Most advising questions can be answered in the following resources.
1. The OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog provides official university policies and detalied information just about everything that you may want to ask. Thus, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that students spend time to get familiar with the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog and make a good use of it.
For example, how to read my DARS (Degree Audit Reporting System)? The answer is very easy to find. >> Simply go to the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog (link shown above) >> Click on the "Advising" option on the top of the left-hand-side column >> And scroll down to the "Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) and How to Use Them" section. >> For detailed information on how to read your DARS, you can also visit DARS Online. This webpage tells you in details on how to read your DARS. This webpage also has a list of FAQs for DARS.
Another example, how to know more about OHIO BRICKS and what classes to take? The answer is very easy to find. >> >> Simply go to the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog webpage (link shown above) >> Scroll down and click on the "OHIO BRICKS" option on the middle of the left-hand-side column. >> This webpage tells you everything about OHIO BRICKS, including links to all classes that can be used to fulfill each specific BRCIKS requirement.
A third example, what if I want to know more information about the HSLS undergraduate program? Again, it is very easy to find such information. >> And Yes! You have gussed it. >> Simply go to the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog webpage (link shown above) >> Scroll down and click on the "Health Sciences and Professions" option on the middle of the left-hand-side column. >> And then scroll down and click on Hearing, Speech and Language Sciences (H.S.L.S.).
It cannot be emphasized enough on how important it is for students to get familiar with the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog. A vast majority of your questions are already answered right there.
2. The CHSP Office of Student Services (Grover Center W370, ☎ 740-593-9336, ✉ chspss@ohio.edu) is committed to promote student success. For CHSP undergraduate students, the Office of Student Services in Grover Center is your go-to for answers and assistance on a wide range of topics:
The CHSP Office of Student Services processes requests such as declaring a minor, course substitution, and DARS adjustment. If you have questions regarding procedures, contact this office directly. Your academic advisor does not process these requests.
3. The Ohio University's webpage for Current Students offers a wide range of resources, services, and opportunities designed for our students. You can use this page to access frequently used resources and campus offices, and to stay up to date with the latest news and events on campus.
If your questions cannot be answered by consulting all these resources, you should contact Caela Chadwell at chadwelc@ohio.edu (if you are a freshman) or your academic advisor (if you are a sophomore, junior, or senior). If you do not know who your advisor is, you can find your advisor's name and related information by logging into your MyOHIO Portal at the University's homepage.
If you have done your homework and still have questions, your academic advisor will make every effort to find an answer for you.
If you have trouble connecting to your academic advisor after repeated attempts, please contact the HSLS Undergraduate Coordinator Dr. Fuh-Cherng Jeng at jeng@ohio.edu.
2. What are the requirements for a bachelor's degree in HSLS?
You can find HSLS requirements in two official documents.
Briefly, students in the HSLS major must complete 120 hours and filfill all necessary university, college and departmental requirements.
If you divide the required 120 credit hours evenly into four years. You will need to complete 120/4 = 30 credit hours per year. Assuming that you are taking courses only in the fal and spring semesters, you will need to take 15 credit hours for each of the fall and spring semesters. For a regular 3-credit-hour course, you will need to take 5 such courses each fall and spring semester.
3. What courses should I take? Is there a specific sequence to follow?
Generally speaking, you want to take courses that are required for the HSLS major (see FAQ #2 above) and any other courses that are of your interest.
Your DARS, which can be accessed via MyOHIO Student Center, is the best tool to track your progress toward the degree and to assist you in deciding which courses to take for each semester. On your DARS, the degree requirements are divided into (1) University requirements, (2) College requirements, (3) HSLS requirements, (4) and other courses of your choice such as electives, minors, and certificates. Also, on your DARS, any requirement that has been met is marked with "+" or "OK". Similarly, any requirment that has not been met is marked with "-" or "NO". Thus, your goal is to turn all "-" and "NO" symbols into "+" and "OK" symbols.
When selecting courses to take for each semester, you should be mindful about the prerequisite requirements and other restrictions that may apply to each course. Prerequisites means that you are not allowed to take a course until you have completed its prerequisites. For example, HSLS 3900 has a prerequisite of PSY2110 or MATH2500, which needs MATH 1200 or Math placement level 2 (PL2).
Other restrictions that you need to be aware include the frequency and timing of the offerings of each course. Due to various factors such as scheduling conflicts and facility limitations, many courses are not offered every semester. For example, the following courses are offered only one time per year.
You can find the course offerings information on the Ohio University Course Offerings webpage. The rule of thumb is that you should take prerequisite courses as soon as possible when they are available. Postponing prerequisite courese may result in substantial delays in progress toward graduation. It is important to keep in mind the timing of these course offerings when you plan your schedule.
For your convenience, our school has compiled HSLS main courses on the HSLS Course Map (based on prerequisites). This course map is effective starting fall semester 2023-24.
To add, drop, enroll, or withdraw courses, you should go to MyOHIO Student Center, accessible via MyOHIO Portal.
In addition to the information above, here are a few tips.
4. What placement tests should I take? What are the policies and procedures for the MATH and Language placement tests?
All the placement tests that are available at Ohio University can be found here Placement Testing. Students in the HSLS major (1) must take the MATH placement test and (2) may take a Language placement test if they want to start from an advanced level for a specific language.
1. For the MATH placement test, click on the Math Placement at Ohio University link for detailed information. Briefly, Ohio University uses your ACT, SAT, or ALEKS score to determine your MATH placement level. If your MATH placement level is DV, you will need to take MATH D005. If your MATH placement level is PL1, you will need to take MATH 1200. If your MATH placement level is PL2, you will need to take MATH 2500 or PSY 2110.
2. For the Language placement test, students in the HSLS major may take (1) an ASL placement test or (2) a non-English spoken language placement test.
For the Language portion in the HSLS Course Requirements, students may take (A) two intermediate ASL courses [HSLS 2110 and HSLS 2120] or (B) two non-English spoken language courses.
5. How to add a second major? How to declare a minor? How to claim a certificate? How to change my catalog year?
Ohio University offers many majors, minors, and certificates. To see a complete list of all these majors, minors and certificates, go to the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog webpage. >> Scroll down and click on the "Major, Minor, and Certificate Codes" on the bottom of the left-hand-side column. >> And then click on the "Majors", "Minors" or "Certificates" link on the right-hand-side column. >> Once you have otained a name and code, you can then look for their specific information on the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog.
If you are considering changing your major or adding a minor, certificate, or second major, you may request a "What-If" DARS - from your DARS via MyOHIO Student Center. Once you have done that, all requirements related to the second major, minor, or certificate will be reflected on your DARS.
The easiest way to declare or change a major, minor, certificate, or catalog year is to visit the CHSP Policies and Forms website, click on an appropriate link, and submit a request online from there. Alternatively, you may contact the CHSP Office of Student Services (Grover Center W370, ☎ 740-593-9336, ✉ chspss@ohio.edu) and submit a request, online or in person, from there.
For the exact application procedures on how to add a second major, you should contact the college in which the second major program is offered, to see if you meet the entry requirements and to discuss your plans with a staff in person.
6. Should I retake a course for a better grade?
According to university policy, a regular course with fixed contents can be retaken to affect the student’s GPA. Retaking a course removes the hours and the effect of the earlier grades from the calculation of your GPA. However, all grades appear on the permanent academic record (transcript). The last grade earned is the one used to calculate the GPA, even if it is lower than the earlier grades, and only the last instance’s credit hours are accepted toward any requirements for graduation. The number of times a student is allowed to retake an undergraduate course for the purpose of improving the grade is restricted to a maximum of two, in addition to the first attempt. Withdrawals are not counted as an attempt. Please note that some graduate and professional schools will include all grades in their own calculations of the GPA when determining a student’s eligibility for admission, even though Ohio University calculates the GPA by using only the last grade in a retaken course. Also, courses retaken at another university are not eligible for grade point adjustment. See the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog webpage. >> Click on the "Academic Policies" option on the bottom of the left-hand-side column. >> And then scroll to the "Retaking A Course" section in the middle of the right-hand-side column.
Sometimes students are unsure whether they should retake a course or not. A common question is: Is it going to be worth it? The answer largely depends on a student's particular situation. First, you must consider GPA. Second, you should only retake a class if you honestly believe that you can do much better (e.g., from D to B or A) the second time. Your second grade will stick, even if it is lower. Third, you should consider how much time you have in your program, given your desired graduation date.
In most scenarios, retaking a course for a better grade is NOT recommended for at least two reasons. (1) Life is short. If the main reason of taking a course is to boost your GPA. Well, first of all, you need to be 100% affirmative that your grade in retaking this course will improve substantially (e.g., from D to B or A). Otherwise, such a small improvement (e.g., from D to C or from C to B) will only affect your GPA minimally. You can imagine how little effect the improvement will be when such a small increment is diluted in a pool of 120 credit hours that is required for graduation. (2) If the main reason of retaking a course is to show your ability and skills in a certain subject matter. Well. There are other ways. (A) You can take an advanced course on the same or similar subject area. Your performance on the advanced course will speak for your ability. (B) If the course that you consider retaking has something to do with Math, English writing, or critical thinking, your GRE scores can prove your quality. Nevertheless, students should consider their specific situations and make the best decisions for themselves.
7. What to do if I plan to take a course at another institution?
Follow these steps:
8. Where can I look up for information related to tuitions, fees, and finanical aids at Ohio University?
Please visit the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog webpage. >> Click on the "Fees and Financial Aid" option on the top of the left-hand-side. >> And then scroll to the "Fees" or "Financial Aid" link on the right-hand-side column.
9. Am I on track for graduation?
This is a tough question and is often difficult to provide an exact answer. However, here are a few general guidelines and procedures that you may follow.
10. What is the lowest grade (i.e., a passing grade) that counts toward my major?
Any grade that is D- or better (i.e., as long as that it is not an F) is a passing grade and should count toward your major.
However, some courses may have higher standards for their prerequisite courses. For example, MATH 1200 has a prerequisite that requires a C or better in MATH D005.
Students are also required to maintain their GPA to be 2.0 or higer; otherwise, they will be on academic probation for one semester.
Lastly, students need a GPA of 2.0 or better to declare a HSLS major and to graduate with a bachelor's degree in HSLS.
11. What electives should I take?
Many HSLS students pursue minors, certificates, and occasionally a second major such as psychology, linguistics, education, and Spanish. Courses associated with those additional options and many other major, minor, or certificate programs can enrich your education at the Ohio University. You can use the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog to explore these opportunities beyond the HSLS degree requirements. You can also use the "What-If" DARS, accessable from your DARS via MyOHIO Student Center, to help visualize the courses that may be beneficial to you.
12. On my DARS, what is the difference between “Hours Earned” vs. “Hours Attempted”? How does that affect my GPA?
Here are their definitions.
On your DARS, all transferred grades will be noted with a prefix letter “T”. These transferred credit hours will count toward your 120 credit hour requirement. However, grades of these transfered courses will NOT be included in your GPA calculation at Ohio University. That is, only courses that are taken at Ohio University will count toward your GPA.
It should be noted that some graduate schools and the Centralized Application Service (CSDCAS) sytem may or may not (depending on the graduate schools that you have included in your applications) convert your "T" grades into their respective A, B, C letter grades and re-compute your GPA from there. For additional information, please visit the CSDCAS webpage.
In summary, there are a few different GPAs that can be drived from your DARS. (1) Your overall GPA that includes everything you have taken at Ohio University. You can find this GPA on the top of your DARS report. (2) Your HSLS GPA that includes only the HSLS required courses. You can find this GPA on the HSLS portion in your DARS report. (3) A special GPA that includes the letter grades of your transferred credits. This GPA would require you to perform some conpplex calculation on your own (or computed separately by those graduate schools or in the CSDCAS system). When applying for graduate schools or jobs, you can mention a specific GPA (in your personal statement, for example) that works the best for you.
13. What are the minimal credit hours required to be a full-time student?
Generally speaking, you need 12 credit hours per semester to be a full-time student. Details of the various student standings, enrollment status, and course loads can be found on the OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog >> Scroll down and click on the "Academic Policies" option on the bottom of the left-hand-side column. >> And then click on the "Enrollment Information" link on the right-hand-side column.
Senior Hour Exemption: Graduating seniors who have a scholarship requiring 15 credit hours are eligible for a Senior Hour Exemption for one term in their senior year. The Senior Hour Exemption allows scholarship payment at 12 credit hours rather than 15 credit hours. To request the exemption, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.
14. How do I gather clinical observation hours?
Clinical observation hours are not required for a bachelor's degree in HSLS.
However, ASHA requires SLP graduate students to complete 25 hours of clinical observation. For AuD graduate students, ASHA does not require observation hours and leaves it to the individual AuD graduate programs. Nonetheless, many AuD graduate programs still require observation hours and may have integrated them into their curricula. However, it is easier if students join an AuD program with some observation hours already completed. For these reasons, many HSLS undergraduate students decide to complete 25 clinical observation hours to fulfill this requirement as soon as possible.
Observation hours can be obtained in many ways - the critical component is that the observation hours are completed with someone who actively holds their Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in either Audiology or Speech Pathology. Regarding shadowing opportunities to gain observation hours, it heavily relies on the students themselves in finding locations that are convenient for them. Most students simply reach out to SLPs/Audiologists, clinics, or hospitals near their hometowns so that they can obtain shadowing experiences nearby.
Our school does not come into play until students are taking HSLS 4420 during their senior year. If you are still in need of observation hours at that time, HSLS 4420 provides opportunities through the Master Clinician Network (MCN), an online simulation series allowing you to accrue those hours or any portion of the required 25 hours, without having to complete in-person observations. You can do all in-person, all MCN, or a combination. Most graduate programs require that you have these observation hours completed PRIOR to starting graduate school.
In our school, MCN hours are administered through the course HSLS 4420. Students who are interested in obtaining MCN hours should enroll in this course and follow guidance provided by the course instructor.
With regards to in-person offsite observation hours, you are welcome to attain them. However, a general form on OU letterhead will not be sufficient as the hours were attained offsite. To prove credit for those hours, you need:
To do otherwise would render those hours invalid by ASHA.
If you have not sufficiently documented your observation experiences, please ensure you do so by contacting that site and requesting the above, or you can obtain more hours through Master Clinician.
15. How can I participate, volunteer, or work in a lab?
Currently, there are no fixed procedures for HSLS undergraduate students to participate, volunteer, or work in a lab. Students who are interested in these endeavors should contact respective lab directors for opportunities and guidance.
HSLS student clubs (e.g., NSSLHA and Creative Expressions) may also host research-related activities such as journal readings, reference citations, evidence-based practice, and relevant events on a regular basis or as-needed. We also have a Botswana trip (more a community service type of research) that undergraduate students may request to join.
16. Can I take courses for graduate credits as an undergraduate student?
Yes, you may. However, there are a few restrictions.
17. Can I access MyOHIO Student Center via my cell phone or tablet?
Yes! Effective July 20, 2020, MyOHIO Student Center supports the use of mobile devices.
If you encounter issues or have questions, you may contact OIT Service Desk.
18. What student organizations are available in HSLS? How to join?
A list of student organizations in HSLS is available on our college's website.
Simply click on the link above, explore all the wonderful HSLS student organizations, contact them, and join the ones you like.
Also, here is a flyer of our HSLS student organizations - flyer.
19. What to do if a course is full?
If you want to enroll into a course that is full, you MUST waitlist yourself into that course. You can do so via MyOHIO Student Center. That way, your name will be on the waitlist and you will be added onto that course automatically when seats become available if someone drops this course or when this course has increased its capacity.
IMPORTANT: Waitlist students have higher priorities over students who submit online permission requests or sending emails to the instructor or HSLS Main Office. So, you must waitlist yourself into the course when it is full, so that you have a high priority to enroll.
NOTE: The OHIO registration system will not automatically enroll you from the waitlist if you have registered for another course that has a time conflict, if you have a HOLD on your account, or if you have already registered for 17 credit hours or more.
NOTE: Here is an OHIO registrar's link to some waitlist FAQs.
20. How to submit a DARS adjustment request?
The easiest way to submit a DARS adjustment request is to visit the CHSP Policies and Forms website, click on a DARS adjustment link, and submit a request online from there. Alternatively, you may contact the CHSP Office of Student Services (Grover Center W370, ☎ 740-593-9336, ✉ chspss@ohio.edu) and submit a request, online or in person, from there.
21. What are the requirements of an ASL certificate?
The Professional Deaf Resources Liaison Certificate (i.e., ASL certificate) is available to students starting from August 23, 2021.
Briefly, it requires the following courses:
You can use What-If DARS to temporarily integrate the certificate requirements in your DARS.
To declare this certificate officially, you may submit an online request form. Alternatively, you may visit the CHSP Student Services (Grover Center W370, ☎ 740-593-9336, ✉ chspss@ohio.edu) and submit such a request in person.
22. What to do if the SLP graduate program I has applied does not consider my PSC 1051 a physics course?
The majority of SLP graduate programs consider PSC 1051 a physics course and count it toward the ASHA Standard IV-A physics requirement. However, some graduate programs may not recognize this automatically.
If you encounter this issue when applying for graduate programs, you may download and forward my letter about PSC 1051 together with an example course syllabus to them.
23. What courses should I take to fulfill my HSLS Language requirement?
According to OHIO University Undergraduate Catalog for the HSLS Major, scroll down to the Language section, there are two options you can choose:
You MUST stick to either Option 1 or Option 2, but NOT a mixture of both. That is, taking HSLS 2110 and a non-English spoken language course (e.g., Spanish) will NOT work.
24. Should I develop a Graduation Plan?
Definitely! You are encouraged to develop a Graduation Plan (with all the courses that you plan to take for each semester all laid out) in consultation with your advisor.
If you have joined Ohio University in Fall AY 2022-23 or later, and have opted in OHIO Guarantee Plus, you will be able to devise an individualized Graduation Plan by logging into your MyOHIO Student Center, accessible via MyOHIO Portal starting from October 2022.
If you have joined Ohio University earlier than Fall AY 2022-23, you may want to construct a Graduation Plan for yourself and consult your advisor for comments and suggestions.
You MUST evaluate and adjust your Graduation Plan at least one time per semester, to ensure that your plan stays up-to-date with Ohio University Course Offerings.
25. What resources are available for graduate school applications?
Applying for graduate schools can be stressful and may require some careful planning. Here are some resources that may be useful to you.

Hello, CSD Seniors!
I am writing you today to request that you complete the 2021 CSD Senior Exit Survey. The Senior Exit Survey is an anonymous, indirect, summative assessment of the CSD UG Program Learning Outcomes. This is how we know which portions of our UG program are doing well and which portions should be improved. The collected survey results will be shared with CSD faculty for discussions to provide directions for possible revisions of our curricular mapping. Your input is vital for our program.
The survey should take less than 1 minute to complete and can be accessed via the link below. It will be available to you until midnight on Saturday, May 1, 2021.
Please let me know if you have any issues accessing the survey. Thank you for your participation!
