Parental financial information is not taken into account for graduate students.\u202fOther schools may ask for parental data for graduate funding but 黑料网-CH will not review it.\u202fIf awarded a scholarship or grant, admitted students\u202fwill receive notification from the Division of Speech and Hearing and\/or the Graduate School. During the review process, supplemental information may be required. The MS program does not offer teaching assistantships, as there is no undergraduate major in speech-language pathology. <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n        \n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"panel panel-default oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n    <div id=\"panel-heading-details-0-15\" class=\"panel-heading oscitas-bootstrap-container\" role=\"tab\">\n\n        <h4 class=\"panel-title oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n            <button class=\"accordion-toggle oscitas-bootstrap-container collapsed\" \n                id = \"button-details-0-15\"\n                data-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-parent=\"#unc-accordion-0\"    \n                aria-controls=\"#details-0-15\"  \n                aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                href=\"#details-0-15\">\n                When are admissions letters released?            <\/button>\n\n        <\/h4>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"details-0-15\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n        <div class=\"panel-body oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<p>Letters go out via email in early March and applicants will have until April 15 to notify the graduate school of their decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n        \n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"panel panel-default oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n    <div id=\"panel-heading-details-0-16\" class=\"panel-heading oscitas-bootstrap-container\" role=\"tab\">\n\n        <h4 class=\"panel-title oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n            <button class=\"accordion-toggle oscitas-bootstrap-container collapsed\" \n                id = \"button-details-0-16\"\n                data-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-parent=\"#unc-accordion-0\"    \n                aria-controls=\"#details-0-16\"  \n                aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                href=\"#details-0-16\">\n                Can I make an appointment with a faculty member?            <\/button>\n\n        <\/h4>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"details-0-16\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n        <div class=\"panel-body oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<p>Due to the large volume of requests, we are unable to conduct individual tours or interviews.
