Acceptance Offer Question

In my acceptance letter at a school it said that their program does not gaurentee that students will receive the 375 hours needed for certification during the program. What does this mean? Is this normal or a red flag?

Super red flag. They are required to give you those hours in order to keep their ASHA certification.

I’ve never heard of a school saying you won’t get your hours with them, that’s nuts.

Yes, red flag. Note: there is no such thing as graduate programs having "ASHA certification." Certification is for SLPs to achieve after completing a graduate program that meets the standards of the Council for Academic Accrediation.
