WELCOME

The faculty, staff and administration welcome you to the Oakland Community College Dental Hygiene website which highlights information about our dental hygiene program, including program goals, competency standards, program policies, licensing information and links to exciting and informative web-sites.

We will be updating this information on a regular basis to provide you with the most recent developments in our program, such as our continuing education program and the new dental hygiene clinic being built at the Highland Lakes Campus.

The dental hygiene faculty and staff are committed to provide quality dental hygiene education, so we hope you enjoy browsing our site and that your most frequently asked questions will be answered.

There are many more students interested in and eligible for the Dental Hygiene program than the Highland Lakes Campus can accommodate in any single year. Therefore, it is necessary that priorities be established for admission to DHY 1230, DHY 1240, and DHY 1250.

This site and the College Catalog are the only official sources of information pertaining to the Dental Hygiene Selection Procedures. They apply only to those students who wish to enter the first Dental Hygiene courses. All students seeking information about the Dental Hygiene program should contact a counselor at the Highland Lakes Campus.

The selection process for Fall of 2009 is now in effect. Selection will be based on the grade point average of the 10 pre-requisite courses. All requirements and procedures for admission (outlined in the Student Brochure and the information sessions) must be completed by no later than December 15th of the year in which the student is intending to enroll.
