college or other institution)
______earned “B-“ or better in BIOL 101 (or equivalent course at community

PLEASE NOTE: Students who have not yet met the gate requirements will be designated as pre-Communication Sciences and Disorders (PCSD) majors. Once the gate requirements have been met, a Change of Major form must be completed to change the student’s major designation from PCSD to CSDS. It will be the individual student’s responsibility to initiate the completion of this form. Students must meet with their respective advisors prior to completion/submission of the form to the Longwood Registrar. The Change of Major form must be completed at least two weeks prior to the applicable registration period. Transfers: When you enter Longwood, you bring course credits with you, but not a GPA. You will begin building your Longwood GPA after you arrive on campus. While you are building your Longwood GPA, you may take CSDS courses that are numbered through 313. You will not be able to register for CSDS courses at or beyond the 314 level until after grades are posted following the completion of your first semester here at Longwood.

PLEASE NOTE: The online pre-requisite courses in CSDS are offered to individuals who hold a bachelor’s degree in a discipline other than CSDS who are preparing to apply to a graduate program in CSDS and need foundation coursework. Registration for the online pre-requisite sections of CSDS courses is NOT a first-choice for current Longwood undergraduate students. Longwood residential and commuter students are expected to register for on-campus sections of CSDS courses and will be granted permission to register for an online section ONLY in extenuating circumstances. Students will be expected to meet with designated advisors to discuss the possibility of the online option.

V. For Graduation:
______a total of 120 credit hours
______A grade of “C” in all CSDS courses
To satisfy major requirements for graduation, students majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders must earn a grade of no less than “C” in all CSDS courses. Students who are applying to graduate school should understand that most graduate programs in CSD expect even stronger performance than what is required for graduation, and so students should set as their goals achieving at least a “B” in CSDS courses and a minimum GPA of 3.0. These goals are not required for graduation from Longwood University.
At the graduate level, students should be prepared to repeat any CSDS course in which a grade of C+ or lower was earned. To build a more favorable transcript (and GPA), an undergraduate student may also consider re-taking a CSDS course having a grade of C. If you have additional questions about graduate school expectations, please see your advisor.
