Full Members

Full Members are members who are in good standing and who have completed a degree in speech language pathology or audiology from a university program recognized by the Provincial Council of the Association and who meet the other requirements for full membership set out in the bylaws.

Reduced hours: Members who work less than 800 hours per year can apply under this category to pay a reduced fee. Indicate on your CASLPA-BCASLPA renewal form that you are requesting reduced hours or email the BCASLPA office.

Student Members

Students who are enrolled in a Canadian university program may apply through CASLPA. Once you are a CASLPA student member, you may choose to belong to BCASLPA under the joint membership agreement. This means that you pay a one time CASLPA fee of $75 for the duration of your studies and your student membership for BCASLPA is free.

If you are currently a student and are wishing to upgrade to be a Full Member, please contact CASLPA.
