The department chair (or an authorized faculty member) conducts an exit interview with each student at the end of their academic program to verify that the student has completed all the clinical and academic requirements for the master’s degree. 

A candidate in the Speech- Language Pathology graduate program receives individual advising throughout the course of the Master’s degrees to ensure completion of all coursework and clinical practicum to meet the degree requirements as outlined in the university catalog.  

The faculty member then signs the form and refers the student to the Credential Student Services Center (CSSC) so the credential analysts can verify eligibility and recommend to the CTC that the student receive the credential.
