Read and follow each step. Submit complete applications with all accompanying forms. Applications are available September 1st and must be postmarked by no later than January 1st. Mail completed applications to:
CCD Dental Hygiene Program
Attention: Admissions Coordinator
1062 Akron Way, Bldg 753
Denver, CO 80230
**If you have previously applied to our program within the last 2 years and want to reactivate your application, you must provide a written and signed documentation requesting that the following be reactivated: Verification of Observation (step 2), Transcripts (step 3 - note: you must submit a copy of your unofficial transcript if any changes/updates have occurred prior to your last submission), Reference Form (step 5) and scores from your Health Occupational Aptitude Test (HOA). You are allowed to take the HOA two times and we will accept your top total score. If your previous score exceeds your new score then this score will be used. You must resubmit the Main Application (step 1) and the Letter of Agreement (step 6). **
STEP 1:
Download and complete the main application. The application may be typed or printed; blue or black ink should be used.
STEP 2:
Regardless of current or past experiences, you are required to observe at least 2 different dental hygienists, not dentists, for a minimum of 4 hours each. Signatures and other pertinent information should be filled out on the Verification of Observation form. Submit this form with your application.
STEP 3:
For each college or university attended, you must submit an unofficial transcript with your application.
Applicants needing their credits officially evaluated from previous institutions will need to submit the Transfer Credit Evaluation Request form. This form is only for dental hygiene prerequisite courses not completed at CCD. Request that official transcripts be mailed directly to you and attach to the Transfer Credit Evaluation Request form. DO NOT open your official transcripts, as they will not be accepted or evaluated by the transcript coordinator. Please note that the final "transfer of credits" decision will be determined by CCD's transcript coordinator.
STEP 4:
If requesting Colorado residency status, submit a copy of your Colorado Drivers License or Colorado State Identification Card.
STEP 5:
Two references are required. Print two copies of the form below and complete the top section only; your reference will complete the bottom portion. Each person writing a reference should place it in a sealed enveloped, sign the back of the envelope and return it to you. DO NOT OPEN THE ENVELOPE. Place the sealed envelopes in your application packet. References should be obtained from a current or past employer, college professor or someone else who can attest to your professionalism, commitment to learning or similar attributes. Family members do not make good reference sources.
STEP 6:
The last form to complete is the Letter of Agreement. Read the letter carefully, sign it and submit it with your application packet.
Letter of Agreement (PDF Format)
STEP 7:
Enclose a letter-sized self-addressed, stamped envelope. The envelope will be mailed back informing you of one of the following: that your application is complete and the specifics of the next step, the Health Occupations Aptitude Test; that your application is incomplete and what is needed; or that your application does not meet the minimum qualifications.
STEP 8:
After completing all the information listed above, submit everything in a single envelope to the following address:
CCD Dental Hygiene Program
Attention: Admissions Coordinator
1062 Akron Way, Bldg 753
Denver, CO 80230
Due to the large volume of applications received, we ask you DO NOT contact our office inquiring about your application status. Please wait for the arrival of your self-addressed, stamped envelope, which will be mailed by January 31.
