The academic year at UIC consists of two semesters and a summer session. All students are assessed tuition and fees. However, orthodontic specialty students are awarded full tuition waivers and a modest stipend since they are appointed as Teaching Assistants in the Graduate College. We expect this arrangement to continue, but it cannot be guaranteed. Mailing of application forms begins on April 1 for entrance into the program that commences in the Fall Semester of the following calendar year.
Admission is highly competitive and many qualified applicants are denied admission.
Action cannot be taken until ALL admission data are on hand. The priority date for receipt of applications is August 15 of the year prior to admission. The final deadline for receipt of applications at UIC is September 15 of the year prior to admission. Please note that we participate in the Postdoctoral Dental Matching Program. Match results will be available in December 2001.
