The Dental Reception Coordinator Program places students on practicum in dental offices and agencies providing dental services. To protect the people served by these agencies, upon acceptance to the Dental Reception program students are required to complete a criminal record search. The CRS must be received by the Registrar's Office prior to the first day of class. Conviction for relevant offenses may preclude entry to the program. Consent forms and the policy on criminal record search detailing the guidelines that are used to screen records are available from the Registrar's Office.
Students are responsible for any costs incurred in the criminal record search.
The criminal record search is valid for one year. Opportunities are also available in the dental claims department of insurance companies.
