Dental Hygiene Program Application

Program Overview & Deadline

Before you begin this application, please make sure you have all required documents ready to upload. Review the Dental Hygiene Information Packet (linked below) for application instructions and document requirements. Please note that this application cannot be saved, and once submitted, you will not be able to return to make changes or edits.

Students in the Dental Hygiene program must be admitted to the college first, but admission to the college does not guarantee acceptance into the Dental Hygiene program. If you have not been admitted to SFCC, please go to https://connect.sfccmo.edu/ to submit your admission application first.

Students are eligible to submit the program application when all prerequisite courses are complete or will be complete by the end of the Spring semester of the year in which they are applying, meet the Essential Qualifications for the Dental Hygiene program, and meet the minimum letter grade requirements on all prerequisites courses or have them in-progress. GPA is checked at the end of the Spring semester of the school year in which the student is applying. A new application must be submitted each year an applicant chooses to apply.

The SFCC Dental Hygiene Program is an intense, 22-month competitive admission program. Dental hygienists may choose to pursue work in clinical practice, public health, research, education, product sales, hospital-based treatment, and/or nursing homes. Graduates of SFCC’s Dental Hygiene Program will earn Associate of Applied Science degree in Dental Hygiene.

All application materials must be received by the first business day in March by 11:59pm CT.
