Prerequisites by University

Apply early!
Send all information as quickly as possible to prevent delay of your application. Applications are available online after October 1st.

In addition to your application, other materials must be sent directly to us in order to complete your application. Please forward the following items at your earliest convenience:

1. Official transcripts from all colleges attended
2. One confidential rating form from a college professor
3. Official ACT scores must be submitted to our office from ACT. It is the students responsibility to contact the ACT Office at 319-337-1313 for permission to release scores to LSUHSC. The ACT School Code is 1601. No photocopies accepted.

Students may apply for the Dental Hygiene program before completing all classes.  However, all required courses must be completed by May for the Dental Hygiene class  starting in August.

Check regularly to be sure transcripts and recommendations, etc. are being sent.
Many items are needed to complete your professional school application. Do not assume items you requested will be sent. After you know the items have been sent and there has been sufficient mailing time, check with us to be sure we have everything. March 15th is the last day we accept materials for your application.

You and you alone are responsible for providing us with a complete application.
To maintain an active application status, you must forward new transcripts to us as soon as they are available. Interviews, as well as acceptances, can be delayed without this information.

Call, write or email if you have questions.
If you have unanswered questions about the application process or need to check on whether your application is complete, contact us.
