Fequently Asked Questions

Do you consider students who are not Florida residents? What about students who have dental degrees from schools in other countries?
The Admissions Office encourages and welcomes qualified applicants to our Graduate and Advanced Education programs from around the world. Applicants must submit all application materials listed in the application checklist.
What are the application deadline dates?
Our many postdoctoral programs vary in their application deadline dates. Completed applications and ALL supporting documents must be received in this office by the date indicated for the specific postdoctoral program to which you are applying. Any application files not completed by the program application deadline will not be considered. Please note that the deadlines for programs participating in PASS are several weeks EARLIER than the college application deadline.
When are interviews held?
An interview will be conducted by the program's Admissions Committee only after it has been determined that the applicant is qualified. Applicants will be contacted to arrange an interview by the program to which they have made an application. Contact your program's director for information about interviews.
When will I know if I am admitted?
Applications are reviewed by the program Admissions Committee after interviews. Typically, the decision to accept will be made in early spring.
If I completed an application last year, can that application be used for this year?
Parts of applications submitted in previous years may be reactivated. We keep all records for a period of two years following a submission. It will not be necessary for you to re-submit all of the same documentation. However, you must submit an updated application for Admission to the Graduate School or Post baccalaureate program and a College of Dentistry application form. You will also need to re-apply to PASS. Be advised, if there have been changes in your credentials or factors which would strengthen your application, they should also be submitted.
