The Faculty of Dentistry encourages students from various backgrounds to apply. Prospective applicants are advised to pursue courses of study, whether in the humanities, the social or the natural sciences, that appeal to them. The Faculty aims to graduate socially aware, culturally sensitive and community-oriented practitioners who are committed to improving access to oral health care.

Deferred Admission

Admission into the first year of our D.M.D. program may be exceptionally deferred for a period of one (1) year at the discretion of the Admissions Committee. A deferral request can only be made once the offer of admission has been accepted and the deposit paid.

A 500-word letter must be provided explaining the situation that was outside of the applicant's control and which may have impacted the applicant鈥檚 candidacy (any supporting documentation must be referenced where applicable). The letter should also provide information such as: when, specifically, the situation occurred (start date 鈥� end date); how this affected the applicant's candidacy; and what the Admissions Committee should take into consideration when reviewing the application. Any supporting documentation such as medical notes, accident reports, etc. to support your case must be provided. The letter and supporting documents must be submitted in one PDF file and uploaded via Minerva to the appropriate checklist item.

The five-year program combines a preparatory year in the Faculty of Science (Dent-P program) followed by the four-year D.M.D. program in the Faculty of Dentistry. The objective of the Dent-P program is to offer students the opportunity to adapt to university-level academics before entering the rigorous curriculum of the D.M.D. program.

The Dent-P program consists of two consecutive semesters of a Bachelor of Science-style curriculum. Students are officially registered in the Faculty of Science during their preparatory year and must complete the required courses and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.5 to continue on to the D.M.D. program.

Requirements

Applicants must be recognized residents of Quebec and enrolled in the second and final year of the Sciences Profile of the Quebec Colleges of General and Professional Education (CEGEP) to be eligible to apply for the five-year program.

The five-year Undergraduate Dental Program (Dent-P) is not open to university-level students or to students outside Quebec. This program is only open to immediate graduates of the Quebec collegial (CEGEP) system.

Applicants who have followed a combined three-year Science program (example: 200.11, 200.12, etc.), or have followed the joint Science and International Baccalaureate program (200.10) are also eligible providing they are currently enrolled in the final year of the DCS and that they have not extended the length of their program.

Applicants must have undertaken a minimum of six courses (13.33 credits) in each regular semester.

The integrated Arts & Science program (700.A0) is also acceptable, providing the applicants have obtained the necessary competencies listed in The "Basic Science Requirements" section below.

The Faculty accepts applicants from Coll猫ge international Marie de France and Coll猫ge Stanislas as part of this category under the following conditions:

• must be a recognized resident of Quebec;
• must be in the final year (补苍苍茅别 terminale) of the S茅ries S;

• must not have extended the length of their program for reasons of personal choice;
• must have an R-score along with course attestation (provided by school).

The assessment of an applicant's academic performance for CEGEP-level applicants is based on the overall R-score (cote de rendement au coll茅gial; cote R). As an indicator of a competitive cote de rendement, here are the CRC averages for admitted Dent-P students in the past three years:

• 2015: 33.60
• 2014: 34.27
• 2013: 34.38

Basic Science Requirements

• Biology 301 NYA (00UK), General Biology II (401) NYB (00XU)
• Chemistry 101 NYA (00UL), 201 NYB (00UM), Organic Chemistry I (301) DYD (00XV)
• Mathematics 103 NYA (00UN), 203 NYB (00UP)
• Physics 101 NYA (00UR), 201 NYB (00US), 301 NYC (00UT)

Students in the 700.A0 program must have completed the Biology objectives of 01Y5 and 01YJ, strictly follow their CEGEP curriculum, and take every opportunity to complete the following: Chemistry: 01YH and Physics: 01YF or 01YG.

Applicants not admissible to the Dent-P program:

• Applicants who are completing a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) in more than two years (with the exception of certain students taking a 鈥渄ouble DEC鈥� or those enrolled in an approved Sports 脡tudes program);
