Prerequisite courses and other requirements

ADMISSION/ENROLLMENT POLICIES ● 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: o Tetanus-Diphtheria-Pertussis (T-DaP) – Must be current within the past 10 years. o Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) o Hepatitis B – A complete three-injection series must be completed prior to admission into the program. o 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.   o 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.
