1. Selection of Applicants

Applications will be reviewed after the application deadline. Applicants who are considered to have potential based on their application documents will be invited to the Faculty of Dentistry for an interview. The interview will be done by a panel comprised of two members of the Faculty of Dentistry or alumni and will take less than 30 minutes. Those applicants who are accepted into the International Dentist Advanced Placement Program will be notified by the Faculty of Dentistry Admissions Office. The decision of the Faculty of Dentistry concerning admission into the International Dentist Advanced Placement Program is final. No appeal mechanism exists.

2. Counselling

All incoming students will have the opportunity of orientation counselling to discuss student services, financial assistance, enrolment procedures, housing and other concerns. Appointments may be arranged through the Admissions Office.

3. Admission Deposit

A $2000 (CAD) non-refundable deposit will be required from each applicant granted admission. It will be applied to the fees providing s/he registers.

4. IDAPP FEES

The payment for the International Dentist Advanced Placement Program will be approximately $40,500. The fees for the Doctor of Dental Surgery Program year 3 and 4 are as follows:

• Year 3 approximately $28 000
• Year 4 approximately $24 000

5. Health Protection Requirements

Prior to their first Registration in the Faculty, all accepted applicants will be required to provide documentary proof of a current Tuberculin Test and/or negative chest x-ray, as well as current immunization against Rubella, Tetanus, Polio and Hepatitis B. As a condition of enrolment in the program, students are expected to comply with these requirements as detailed in the instructions included in the offer of admission. As well, each year, all returning students must submit a current Tuberculin Test Report and/or a negative chest x-ray report prior to registration. Under certain circumstances, the Faculty may have a duty to report disease, and in the case of a communicable disease, a Medical Officer of Health may be empowered to make an order requiring a student to isolate him/herself in such a manner as not to expose another person to infection. An order of this kind would seriously disrupt the student's program of study.

6. Registration and Orientation

Registration and Orientation will take place prior to the start of classes. Detailed instructions will be sent to incoming students before the beginning of the academic session. Students are reminded that payment of at least the first installment of their fees is an essential part of the registration process. Orientation will take place immediately after registration. This two-day session is mandatory. All first-year students must attend.

7. First Aid and CPR

Students registering in 1st year are required to obtain certification of satisfactory completion of (a) a Canadian Red Cross Society or St. John's Ambulance course in First Aid (or its equivalent) and (b) a CPR Basic Rescuer course before they may register into the International Dentist Advanced Placement Program. All students must present certificates verifying completion of such courses to the Student Services Office by the day of registration into the 1st year of the International Dentist Advanced Placement Program.

8. Required Withdrawal after First Term

If at the completion of the first term pre-clinical period in the first year of the International Dentist Advanced Placement Program, a student fails to meet the standard expected and is deemed to be unsatisfactory, s/he will be required to withdraw from the program.
