Some colleges and universities offering dental hygiene programs allow the transfer of some college credits. They might accept liberal arts courses but exclude credits for dental-specific courses required.
If you are considering transferring college credits to a dental hygienist school, be sure to research the transfer policies of the specific schools you are interested in. You should also contact the admissions office of each school to discuss your individual situation and determine which credits, if any, may be transferred.
Here are some things to keep in mind when transferring college credits to a dental hygienist school:
* The number of credits that you can transfer may be limited. Some schools may only accept a certain number of hours of transfer credit, while others may have no limit.
* The courses that you can transfer may also be limited. Some schools may only accept transfer credits for certain types of courses, such as general education courses or science courses.
* The grades that you earned in your college courses may also be a factor in determining whether or not they can be transferred. Some schools may only accept transfer credits for courses in which you earned a "C" or better.
* You may need to provide documentation of your college coursework, such as transcripts or course syllabi.
Be sure to do your research carefully and plan ahead in order to ensure that you can transfer the maximum number of credits possible to your dental hygienist school.
