Education Prerequisites

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:
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.
