NOTICE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
October 4, 2007

The Council of Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association (ASHA) has placed the Master Science degree track in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Hawai'i on "Accredited-Probation" status. The Master of Science degree track in Audiology is no longer accepting students and has closed effective December 31, 2006.

Accreditation from the CAA and ASHA is sought voluntarily by education programs that offer graduate degrees in speech-language pathology, audiology, or both, which are designed for graduate-level students entering the professions. Any program that holds the status of "Accredited" or "Accredited-Probation" is still considered to be an accredited program. The duration a program is placed on "Accredited-Probation" status is for one year. If compliance with the accreditation standards is not demonstrated within 1 year, accreditation will be withdrawn.
