1. Fill out your ASHA application (KASA form) FULLY and have your advisor check it for accuracy. We have a model form that uses University of Maryland courses as examples to guide you in filling out your form (see the MA student web site http://www.bsos.umd.edu/hesp/degreePrograms/current/KASA_SLP_sample.xls ). ASHA CCC application forms are available at the ASHA web site (www.asha.org). PLEASE READ instructions and the sample before filling out the application.
   
   The Department keeps a permanent copy of the ASHA application in your files for your future employment inquiries. ASHA does NOT keep a copy of the application. Please fill it out completely and neatly. Dr. Ratner will NOT sign off on incomplete applications, even though only the end pages must be submitted to ASHA. THIS MEANS YOU MUST FILL OUT ALL COURSEWORK AND CLOCK HOUR INFORMATION. FORMS WILL NOT BE SIGNED WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION.
   
   You must submit these forms TOGETHER WITH the other pages of the ASHA Certification application, which require Dr. Ratner's signature.
   
   
2. Please list the University of Maryland as a recipient of your NTE ASHA Praxis exam scores.
   
   The code of UM for the Praxis exam is 0131.
   
   
3. Please provide the department with a copy of your forwarding address if you will be moving after graduation, as well as your new email address.
   
   
4. Please notify the department of your CFY site as soon as you know it.
   
   
5. Please make an appointment for an exit interview with Dr. Ratner, or complete the e-mailed exit interview that we will send you automatically. Interviews can be scheduled for anytime within the month prior to graduation, or at any time after graduation. Interviews can be held over the phone if this is more convenient, but should still be scheduled. Exit interviews help the department to identify those aspects of the program which should be improved, as well as those aspects of the program which were satisfying to you.
