Application Part 1, Toulouse Graduate School application components: 

Step 1: Application form: Required
Complete the UNT Graduate Application via the Toulouse Graduate School (tsgs.unt.edu). Designate Speech-Language Pathology as your intended major field.

Step 2: Graduate Record Examination (General Test): Required
All applicants are required to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) — Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing subtests — and to report all their GRE scores to UNT--Denton (ETS Code 6481). NOTE: Verify that you use the correct ETS Code.  There is more than one institution within the UNT System.  ETS Code 6481 is the code for the flagship (Denton) campus.  Applicant-reported GRE scores are not routinely shared among the UNT System institutions.    

The department considers all reported GRE scores received on or before the application deadline, not only the most recent.  A process called “super scoring” is used, i.e., your highest subtest scores (and their associated percentiles) are taken into account in the application review process.  Applicants will often compare their overall GRE score with that of previous cohorts of students admitted to the master’s program as one index of the competitiveness of their scores. (See “3-year Statistics” link at the bottom of this web page.)  Generally, subtest scores above the 50^th percentile are considered competitive. GRE numeric scores and their corresponding percentiles are found on the ETS website: www.ets.org. Many applicants take the GRE during the summer prior to their application year.  This allows the applicant who wishes to re-take the GRE sufficient time to re-take the GRE and to submit their score report to Toulouse prior to the application deadline.

Applicants who took the GRE within five years of the time of their application do not need to re-take the GRE for application to UNT.  Because ETS maintains score reports up to five years after the time of testing, the applicant should contact ETS to request that score reports be sent to UNT (ETS Code 6481). 

Applicants who took the GRE over five years before the time of their application will be unable to request that ETS submit their scores to UNT.  Applicants who took the GRE more than five years ago and who have the original, hard-copy ETS score reports in their possession may submit these scores for consideration by taking the original, hard copy ETS score report, in person, to the Toulouse Graduate School.  Those applicants who took the GRE more than five years ago but who do not have the original, hard copy ETS score report in their possession will be required to re-take the GRE and to submit the new GRE scores to Toulouse Graduate School as part of their application.  

Step 3: Official Transcripts: Required
Please arrange for all official transcripts (both undergraduate and graduate transcripts, including community college transcripts) to be mailed directly to:

Toulouse Graduate School
University of North Texas

Application Part 2, Departmental application components:

Our department requires the submission of three letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and a basic human coursework form.

Please see below for instructions and links to submit these elements:

Please call 940-565-3716 or send an e-mail if you encounter difficulties with any of these Departmental Components.

Departmental Component #1- Letters of Recommendation

Three recommendations are required for submission to the ASLP department using the link below. It is preferred that these recommendations be written and sent by individuals who are familiar with your academic background and who can attest to your aptitude for challenging graduate level academic work. The number of recommendations from individuals outside of academia (e.g. employers, community leaders) should be kept to a minimum, and they may be weighted differently based on their relevance to academic-specific information. It is recommended that students request letters of recommendation from at least two faculty members from their undergraduate program.

You will need to fill out the information requested through the link below for each of your recommenders separately. Each of your recommenders will receive the instructions he or she needs to submit a letter of recommendation in support of your graduate application.  The ASLP graduate admissions office will send these instructions to the e-mail address that the applicant provides to UNT; please verify the accuracy of each recommender's e-mail address before you send the recommender's contact information to UNT using the link below. It is your responsibility to confirm if your recommenders completed and submitted the form prior to February 1^st.

Please call 940-565-3716 or send an e-mail if you encounter difficulties with any of these Departmental Components.

Departmental Component #2- Personal Statement

Please submit a personal statement describing your professional goals and your preparation for graduate study in speech-language pathology. The length of the statement should be limited to one page single-spaced. Save your statement as a PDF file with your name on the file as well as the at the top of statement. Then upload your statement using the link below:

Departmental Component #3- Undergraduate/Leveling Coursework in Communication Sciences and Disorders Form

First step:  Download the form, Undergraduate/Leveling Coursework in Communication Sciences and Disorders. This is a pdf form. Hand-write or type your responses on the form neatly and legibly. The pdf has form fields enabled.

Second step:  In a separate document, provide the full, verbatim catalog course description for each non-UNT course that you listed on the Undergraduate/Leveling Coursework form; catalog course descriptions are found in the official catalog of the institution where you took the course. Combine and format all catalog course descriptions into a single document, such that the catalog course description document is no longer than two pages in length. (Note: Catalog course descriptions do not need to be provided for courses that were taken at UNT.) 

Third step: Combine the completed Undergraduate/Leveling Coursework in Communication Sciences and Disorders form and the catalog course description document into a single pdf document; upload the pdf document using the link provided.
