*We are currently using the GPA of the 21 credits in the six preclinical courses to rank applicants for admission into the dental hygiene program.
*For any course with a designation of "CR", a "D" grade will be used in the calculation of the applicant's GPA per the College Policy. "NC" grade will be calculated as an "F". If the course with a CR or NC grade is repeated, the corresponding D or F grades will be averaged with the new grades.
*Acceptance into the dental hygiene program is based on the GPA of the 6 required preclinical courses. A grade of “C” will lower the GPA of the preclinical courses and affect ranking.
