III. THE CSDS GATE:
Students who have not yet met the gate requirements will be designated as Pre-Communication Sciences and Disorders
(PCSD) majors. Once the gate requirements have been met, a Change of Major form must be completed to change the
student’s major designation from PCSD to CSDS. It will be the individual student’s responsibility to initiate the
completion of this form. Students must meet with their respective advisors prior to completion/submission of the form to
the Longwood Registrar. The Change of Major form must be completed at least two weeks prior to the applicable
registration period.
Transfers: When you enter Longwood, you bring course credits with you, but not a GPA. You will begin building your
Longwood GPA after you arrive on campus. While you are building your Longwood GPA, you may take CSDS courses
that are numbered through 313. You will not be able to register for CSDS courses at or beyond the 314 level until after
grades are posted following the completion of your first semester here at Longwood.
Gate Requirements:
All Students in PCSD must meet the following requirements in order to register for upper level CSDS courses:
45 credit hours
minimum GPA of 3.0
earned “B” or better in ENGL 150 (or equivalent course at community
college or other institution)
earned “B“ or better in BIOL 101 (or equivalent course at community
college or other institution)

VI. SPED Minor:
Many of the requirements for the SPED minor are satisfied by completing required courses in the major. SPED
322 is the only additional course to complete the SPED minor. This course can be counted as a General
Elective. If you select SPED as a minor, you must complete a Change of Major form to officially be enrolled
in the program.
VII. SLP Online Courses:
The SLP Online program is designed for individuals who hold a bachelor’s degree in a discipline other than
CSDS and are changing careers. This program will provide them with foundation coursework needed to apply
to a graduate program in CSDS. The program is not open to the enrollment of on-campus undergraduate
PCSD/CSDS majors. Longwood residential and commuter students are only allowed to register for on-campus
sections of CSDS courses. Students with extenuating circumstances may request to apply for permission to
register for an online section with designated advisors. A committee decision will determine the outcome.
VIII. GRADUATION REQUIREMENT:
a total of 120 credit hours
Students who are applying to graduate school should be aware that most graduate programs in CSD expect at
least a “B” in CSDS courses and a minimum GPA of 3.0. These goals are not required for graduation from
Longwood University.
At the graduate level, students should be prepared to repeat any CSDS course in which a grade of C+ or lower
was earned. To build a more favorable transcript and GPA, an undergraduate student may also consider retaking a CSDS course having a grade of C or lower before graduating. Course taken after graduation will not
improve your GPA. If you have additional questions about graduate school expectations, please see your
advisor.
