A new class of Dental Hygiene students begins each August. Applications for admission to the August 2008 Dental Hygiene Program are accepted beginning November 1, 2007 and will continue through May 16, 2008. Students are encouraged to begin taking related core courses prior to that time. The Admissions Committee will begin to offer seats in February to the most qualified candidates. Therefore, early application is encouraged. When the seats are filled, the Admissions Committee will close admissions and will maintain an alternate list. Admission to Armstrong Atlantic State University does not guarantee admission to the Dental Hygiene Program. Please note that the department has a separate formal admissions process. You must first apply to AASU and upon acceptance to the University, apply to the Dental Hygiene Program. Dental Hygiene applicants are required to submit transcripts of all college work with their formal application to the Program. The Georgia Board of Dentistry shall have the authority to refuse to grant a license to an applicant who has been convicted of any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude. This law is further defined in 43-11-47 of the Georgia Board of Dentistry Laws. Because of the inability of these persons to become or remain registered dental hygienists, persons to whom this law applies may not be admitted into or may be dismissed from the program.

IT IS THE APPLICANT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO CONSULT THE CURRENT AASU CATALOG FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT ADMISSION AND PROGRESSION REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROGRAM.
