Student Resources

A large part of the ASLEI curriculum is focused around community interactions, both with adults and children in various setting. Because of this, students are required to obtain volunteer clearances during their first semester in the program. These clearances are mandatory and will be kept on file with the department. These clearances are valid for 5 years and may be used by the student outside the confines of the classroom as necessary during that time period.

Prior to completing their internship during the senior year, students are required to renew all clearances. The process for renewing clearances is the same as obtaining the initial clearances during the first year of studies. 

All students are required to have the following memberships:

• Annual RID Student Membership

• Annual PARID or State Chapter Student Membership (3-year membership)

• Annual NAD membership

• Annual NAIE Membership (*seniors only)

• Lifetime PSAD Membership
