Program details

Overview

The certificate completes a first year of college-level study, satisfying what is required for admission into a related dental hygiene diploma. Credits can support an application to dental hygiene programs elsewhere in the province, or transfer into a related program that better matches a student's later goals.

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Dental Hygiene Pathway Certificate requires a minimum C grade in Anatomy and Physiology 12 (or equivalent), Chemistry 11 (or equivalent), English Studies 12 or English Studies First Peoples 12 (or equivalent), and Foundations of Math 11 (or equivalent); a minimum grade of C must also be maintained across all certificate coursework to complete the programme. The programme page directs applicants who do not yet meet these course requirements to CNC's Academic Upgrading programme, and for full admission conditions defers to CNC's general admission-requirements page and its English Language Proficiency Requirements page.
