The Speech Language Pathology Assistant Program  at Grossmont College accepts a limited number of students each year as dictated by staffing, laboratory and instrumentation availability, and the number of clinical sites available for student assignment during the second year of training.

  It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all transcripts from any college other than Grossmont have been received by the Speech Language Pathology Assistant Program  and that all information on the application is correct and kept up to date.
