Dental Hygiene Program following Dismissal
Students who have been dismissed from the Dental Hygiene program for academic or student conduct reasons may be readmitted to the University if they have been approved for reentry through the appeals process. Due to the didactic and clinical practice requirements for licensure, if a student is dismissed, appeals to reenter and is approved, the student will (1) reenter the core program on a space available basis and (2) audit all DHYG course(s) previously completed and repeat the DHYG course(s) not completed (see Retaken Courses and GPA section of the catalog). The tuition and fees for the audit course(s) prior to and/or concurrently with a repeat course(s) will be waived for those students who complete the entire semester. Students who withdraw from the University (or begin an LOA) before completing the semester will be subject to a pro-rata portion of tuition and fees for courses scheduled for the semester at the time of withdrawal. The student must meet all requirements for the audited courses including completing assigned work, attending class and any other terms as outlined by the course director. The student must earn a minimum grade of 76% in all courses within the Dental Hygiene program using the scale outlined in the "Grading" section of the catalog. If the minimum grade is not earned in each DHYG course, the reentry student will be dismissed from the program and will not be readmitted.
