Do I have to apply separately to the dental hygiene program?
Yes, first you need to apply to the college and declare DHY as your curriculum designation
and Highland Lakes as your home campus. After completing the basic admission requirements
you will need to make an appointment with a counselor and officially apply the the
dental hygiene program. |
Do I have to make a reservation to attend an information session?
Yes, there are 4 scheduled sessions in the school year, you must attend one. The dates
and registration links are available on the DHY homepage. |
Can I transfer classes from other campuses and/or other colleges?
Yes, and in most cases transfers are equivalent in course content and credit hour,
be sure you check with a counselor prior to enrolling in a course that you are unsure
about. |
Can I transfer into your program if I am currently in another dental hygiene program?
No, but the pre-requisite courses may transfer. Schedule an appointment with a counselor
to see if any may transfer. |
Will I get a letter if I have not been accepted into class of 30 students selected
in the fall?
No, you will only receive an acceptance letter once you are formally accepted into
the program. |
Do I have to have a current CPR certification to enter the program?
Yes, and a copy is required before you are allowed to treat patients. |
What if it has been over 5 years since my science courses were taken?
The dental hygiene program provides a science review course that is required prior
to admittance into the program. The science review manual is provided by the dental
hygiene program, therefore it is not a credit hour course. Prospective students will
be notified if this is applicable to their situation. The student must pass the science
review mastery exam by 75% to be accepted into the program. |
