A minimum of ninety (90) semester hours or one hundred thirty five (135) be quarter hours of coursework must be completed by the time of matriculation (June 30).   At least thirty (30) semester hours must be completed at a four-year college. Applicants are encouraged to complete upper-level science courses at 4-year institutions (i.e. colleges or universities that grant bachelors degrees).

• All prerequisites must have letter grades; no PASS/FAIL options are accepted.
• All science courses (except biochemistry and physiology) must include laboratories.

AADSAS verifies all transcripts; therefore, you must send official transcripts from each college you attended directly to AADSAS.  AADSAS will not forward your application until all your transcripts are received and verified.

The following supplementary material is required:

• Application fee ($50.00 for U.S. students/$60.00 for International students).  Make check payable to IUPUI.  This fee is non-refundable.
• Official Dental Admission Test (DAT) scores.

All letters of evaluation must be sent directly to AADSAS.  AADSAS will only process four letters of evaluation, therefore, IUSD will only accept three required academic letters of evaluation and one optional personal letter of evaluation submitted through AADSAS.  Interviews will be granted to selected applicants only after the three (3) letters of evaluation, application fee, and DAT scores have been received by IUSD.

The Admissions Committee has specified nonacademic criteria ("Minimum Skill Standards for Admission and Retention"), which all applicants are expected to meet in order to participate in the D.D.S. Program and the study of Dentistry.
