An academic license authorizes the licensee to practice dentistry only while engaged in the performance of the licensee's official duties as an employee of the accredited school or college of dentistry and only in connection with programs affiliated or endorsed by the school or college. An academic licensee may not use an academic license to practice dentistry outside of the licensee's academic responsibilities.
