Dear Dental Hygiene Applicant:


Thank you for you interest in the University of Louisville’s School of Dentistry Dental Hygiene Program. The application deadline is February 1st. The admissions committee will only consider applications that are complete, including all required supplemental documents. Please read the following list of required documents carefully and contact us if you have any questions.
Students who are not currently enrolled as University of Louisville students must also submit an undergraduate application through the Undergraduate Office of Admission. This can be completed online at: http://admissions.louisville.edu/app/. All official transcripts should be sent to the Undergraduate Office of Admission.
Current UofL students (except dental hygiene lower division (DHL)) need to complete an intra-university transfer (IUT) for Dental Hygiene Upper Division (DHU). The IUT form is located online at: http://louisville.edu/provost/iut.
It is mandatory that you have an email address listed on your application. If we need to contact you regarding any deficiencies in your application, we will be contacting you via email.
There are several components to the application, which you will find listed below:


  • Submission of ACT/SAT Scores (beginning Fall 2013)

  • 3 Letters of Recommendation (LOR): Two letters should be from a school professor (one must be a science instructor) and one from a work/community reference. LOR’s must be submitted directly (from reference) to Office of Dental Student Affairs via mail or email.  If sent via email, please send to the Dental Hygiene service account:  dhygiene@louisville.edu .  The subject heading should read: DHU LOR:  Last Name, First Name. Letters mailed via postage should be sent to the same address as the Hygiene Professional Application. We will not accept letters from relatives.

  • Minimum Technical Standards: This form requires a signature and explains the cognitive and technical skills needed to negotiate the curriculum for Dental Hygiene

  • Unofficial Copies of All Transcripts: Students must submit unofficial transcript copies with the DH Professional Application.

  • Personal Statement: Write a story, biography, or narrative describing your personal qualities as they pertain to a successful dental hygiene career. Address your perception of the field and how you came to choose this career. Describe your short and long term career goals. Complete in 500 words or less.

  • Dental Experience or Observation Documentation: Please state any work experience in a dental office in your essay. If you do not have work experience, we recommend that you have a minimum of 12 hrs of observation in a dental office or hygiene program. Submit written documentation from the dental offices in which you observed.

  • TOEFL SCORES: Because command of the English language is essential for successful professional school study, applicants whose first language is not English, regardless of citizenship, must demonstrate their English proficiency by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).  Preference is given to candidates with a minimum score of 100 and with listening and speaking section scores at 26 or above. The institution code for submitting TOEFL scores to the U of L School of Dentistry is 5933. For more information about TOEFL testing, go to: www.ets.org/.   Students who have graduated from a high school in which English is the primary language and/or has completed a minimum of 30 credit hours in a fully accredited U. S. college or university qualify for a waiver of the TOEFL requirement.

All applicants will receive a letter from the Dental Hygiene Admissions Committee regarding their decision by March 30th. Please understand that admission is competitive and determined yearly based on the quality and quantity of the applicant pool. Preference is given to applicants who have demonstrated the ability to carry a fulltime course load.


Furthermore, if you are planning on filing for Financial Aid for Fall, you will need to go online at www.fafsa.ed.gov and complete a financial aid application. The priority deadline for the state of Kentucky and UofL is March 15th to be considered for any available state grants.
If you have any questions regarding your application, please call 502-852-5081 or 1-800-334-8635 ext. 5081.
Sincerely,
Dental Student Affairs
