Please note that Applicants must meet all of the criteria under NDHCE Education Requirements before the NDHCB can even open an Eligibility evaluation file on their behalf. If those criteria are not met, the NDHCB will not conduct an evaluation of the applicant’s curriculum, will reimburse the application fee minus a non-refundable fee of $100 (+ tax), and the applicant will be denied eligibility.

Students in the cohort of a Dental Hygiene Program that has been reviewed by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC) and to whom CDAC has granted “Program Status Under Review” may apply to write the NDHCE upon confirmation by the dental hygiene program director or designate, that the student, at the application deadline date, is within four months of completion of the dental hygiene program and following verification of eligibility by the NDHCB.

Please note that students in subsequent cohorts of the program will be given the same consideration until such time as the CDAC notifies the NDHCB that “status under review” has been revoked or that accreditation has been granted.

To apply for Eligibility evaluation you must submit the following documents:

Eligibility Evaluation with:

• Eligibility Application Form
• $375 fee + tax
• Related Documents
• Letter by the Dental Hygiene Program Director stating that the
  student, at the time of the application for eligibility evaluation, is
  within four (4) months of completion of the dental hygiene program
  (including confirmation of the projected completion date).

This process may take up to 8 weeks.
