Return to top of page Orientation Transfer students who are required to take placement tests are given those tests during an orientation program the summer before they enroll in dental hygiene. The tests are scored and the results interpreted to the student, who then meets with a dental hygiene counselor to complete scheduling for the Autumn Quarter. All entering students to dental hygiene are expected to participate in orientation programs designed to introduce them to the curriculum and to resources they will use in their studies.

This is the national dental hygiene honorary society. Zeta Chapter at The Ohio State University annually elects to its membership senior dental hygiene students who are outstanding in scholarship, leadership, character, and professional attitude. Not more than 10 percent of the graduating class may be distinguished with this honor. Student members receive Dental Hygiene, the official publication of the ADHA, and may become full members of that association after they graduate. Members become acquainted with each other, learn about the role and responsibilities of the professional dental hygienist, and become familiar with the activities, functions, and objectives of local, state, and national professional organizations.
