Policies

Transferability of credits either into, or out of, the dental hygiene program is not guaranteed and transfer credits into the program may only be determined by the College President(s). Currently UCDH does not have the ability to evaluate for transfer (or transfer credits) post-secondary or college level courses or credits completed or taken outside of the United States. Please contact the Admissions and Records office by e-mail to inquire about any stipulations regarding transfer credits if you have questions. As a reminder UCDH is a small private college and as such evaluation of transfer credits is left to the policies established by the college administration.

All courses must be of sufficient depth, scope, sequence of instruction, quality and emphasis to reflect the objectives and philosophy of higher education and may be transferred only from an accredited institution at the post-secondary college-level. These forms may be helpful for those seeking answers to transfer credit/courses to UCDH. In addition, the Admissions Director and/or the Admissions and Records office will be happy to assist you if you have questions regarding transfer credit(s) and courses to UCDH (see Transfer Credits). Students wishing to transfer from another dental hygiene program into the UCDH program do not receive advanced standing or gain any special advantage or status compared to other applicants.

CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING Students may not earn credit for prior life/learning outside of a post-secondary instructional (college) classroom.

- Attempted credits include all credits registered after the course drop period, including transfer credits. - Transfer credits count toward both attempted and completed credits.
