GPA for Dental Hygiene

• All prerequisite courses (as listed in program description) must be completed with a minimum unrounded GPA of 2.2. Students must also have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 calculated from all attempted college courses. Students must be in good academic standing, with no academic suspension, probation or warning. Students who have completed all prerequisite courses by the published application deadline will be given priority consideration for acceptance. “S” grades will not be calculated, but will be considered as meeting the course requirement.
• Students who are transferring courses into TCC that they wish to be considered toward admission must have an official transcript sent to TCC’s Admissions and Records office for evaluation. A course with a different prefix that does not transfer as equivalent may be re-evaluated at the request of the applicant; the course syllabus must be submitted prior to the application deadline date to receive consideration.
• If the student wishes to use Advanced Placement credit, the student must submit the official documentation from College Board to the TCC Admissions and Records office by the application deadline.
• If the applicant is currently a non-degree-seeking or transient student, the student must change his or her status to A.S. Degree in Dental Hygiene in the Admissions and Records office in order for the transcript to be evaluated appropriately.
• It is the applicant’s responsibility to verify that transcripts have been received and evaluated. This information can be accessed at tccpassport.tcc.fl.edu by signing in to TCC Passport and viewing the transcript.
