Add the dates of first attendance and the final term, unless the coursework is still in-progress.
When all of the required information has been completed, click “Save this College” to
complete this section. When complete, a Transcript Request Form will be generated.
Repeat all the steps for each institution attended. Applicants are required to report every U.S.
and Canadian postsecondary institution from which credit has been received, regardless of
whether or not the work is relevant to the pursuit of a dental education. This includes but is not
limited to: Schools which granted credit while the applicant was a high school student; schools
whose credits transferred to a primary university; doctorate classes, summer classes,
community college classes or technical/vocational classes; military; massage and/or alternative
medicine classes, etc. If the applicant attended schools within a college consortium, each
school must be reported separately.
Study Abroad and Overseas U.S. Institutions
Please use the checklist below to determine how best to report the study abroad and/or
overseas college transcript and coursework:
1. If coursework was completed at a U.S. institution overseas (i.e. American University Beirut
or Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar), report the institution from the dropdown list and
proceed to enter in all related information, including coursework in the Transcript Entry
section. In Transcript Review, mark the courses as study abroad.
2. If coursework was completed using another school’s program to study abroad, i.e.
Semester at Sea (University of Virginia), SIT, or a CEA Global Campus Network (University
of New Haven), report the U.S. school whose program was used and proceed to enter in all
related information, including coursework in the Transcript Entry section. In Transcript
Review, mark the courses as study abroad.
3. If coursework was completed via a study abroad company such as IES, ISA, CIEE, or DIS,
directly via the undergraduate institution, or by any other method proceed with the options
below:
If your FULL CREDITS AND GRADES for these courses appear on your
undergraduate transcript, then you should list these courses normally with the
rest of your undergraduate work. During the transcript review process, you
would mark these courses as “Study Abroad.” No additional documentation is
necessary. Do NOT report your study abroad school as a foreign institution.
Acceptable grades include A-F, Credit, Pass, etc. “TR” for “transfer” is NOT an
acceptable grade, nor are credits and grades which do not match those on the
rest of your undergrad transcript (i.e. the grades are not U.S. grades). If your
courses have grades of TR, or are recorded in foreign grades, please use the
second option below.
If your CREDITS AND/OR GRADES for these courses DO NOT APPEAR on your
undergraduate transcript, you should report that you attended a foreign
institution. You do not need to list your courses under the foreign school, as
ADEA AADSAS does not allow foreign coursework to be recorded. DO NOT
SEND ANY DOCUMENTATION UNLESS AN EVALUATION IS REQUIRED BY
