Prerequisite courses and other requirements

Minimum Age: Must be at least 17 years of age (applicants under the age of 18 require written permission from a parent or legal guardian in order to enroll). Immunization: Prospective dental assistant students must comply with both clinical facility requirements and state law related to immunizations. Students must provide documentation of vaccination or a serum titer confirming immunity signed by a healthcare provider, or the student must sign the vaccination declination form. Students should be aware that future employers may require vaccination as a condition of employment, and a student who declines vaccination may face difficulty in obtaining employment until the student is vaccinated. Documentation of vaccinations must include the following: Tetanus-Diphtheria-Pertussis (T-DaP) – Must be current within the past 10 years. Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) Hepatitis B – A complete three-injection series must be completed prior to admission into the program. Varicella (Chickenpox) – Students may provide a physician-documented history of the disease as an alternative to a shot record or serum titer. Identification: Documentation must be a valid government-issued form of identification (driver’s license, state ID, or passport.) Social Security cards are not acceptable forms of identification. Prospective students will be interviewed and must be able to complete the application forms and communicate with the representative without the assistance of an interpreter. A valid social security number is required to enter the program. Potential Radiation Hazards: Due to potential radiation hazards for pregnant women during onsite training, prospective students who are pregnant are required to obtain a letter from their physician before enrolling in the program. This letter should affirm their ability to be in the building when X-rays are being taken and to participate in the required X-ray lab stations. Disclosure of Pregnancy: In the event that a pregnancy is not disclosed before enrollment or if a student becomes pregnant during the program, two options are provided to ensure the student's well-being: Physician's Approval: The student may continue in the program only if they provide a letter from their physician. This letter should affirm their ability to be in the building when X-rays are being taken and to participate in the required X-ray lab stations. If a pregnant student cannot obtain a physician's letter, they will be withdrawn from the program and their refund will be determined based on their progress in the course, following the school's refund policy. Withdrawal: Alternatively, the student may choose to withdraw from the course. In such cases, any refunds will be determined in accordance with the school's refund policy. The school does not require background checks or drug screens for students to enter the dental assistant program. However, upon graduation, many employers will perform a full background check and drug screen prior to employment. If the background check or drug screen is not passed, it may result in no employment offer. Students must maintain a professional appearance with the ability to hide any tattoos and/or piercings during future employment. If the school determines this is not possible, the school has the right to deny admission. Students must have access to the internet and have a computer for this course.
