Curriculum

A student accepted to the Dentistry Preparatory Qualifying Year (Dent-P Year) will be required to register for a full year in the Faculty of Science. In that year, the student must take courses totaling 30 credits. Following the successful completion of this year as determined by a Student Promotion Committee, students will proceed into the first year of the four-year D.M.D. program. Students must obtain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 with all individual grades of B or higher for required courses and passing grades for all complementary courses to be promoted into the first year of the D.M.D. program. Please note that a grade of B in all courses would lead to a GPA of 3.0, and that a grade of B in required courses and grades below B in complementary courses would lead to a GPA below 3.0.
