681—2.4(262) College of dentistry.
	2.4(1) Application for admission. Address all inquiries regarding admission to the Director of Admissions, University of Iowa.
Applicants are urged to apply as early as possible, since this will give the admissions committee more time to devote to each application. Closing dates for receiving applications will be announced well in advance of the opening date of any session.
Applicants for admission to dentistry are encouraged to complete a program leading to a baccalaureate degree before entering dentistry. Applicants should consider a combined program of liberal arts and dentistry which would qualify them for a baccalaureate degree upon the completion of the freshman year in dentistry. Preference will be given to students who have the baccalaureate degree or who have completed the requirements for the degree in a combined program.
Fulfillment of the specific requirements for admission listed does not ensure admission to the college of dentistry. From the applicants meeting the minimum requirements, the admissions committee will select the applicants who in their judgment appear to be best qualified for the study and practice of dentistry.
Each applicant must place on file in the office of the director of admissions the completed application form and an official transcript from each college attended.
The college work outlined below will suffice to meet the minimal academic requirements for admission to the college of dentistry.

Electives should be chosen so as to give the applicant a well-rounded educational background.
In order to meet minimum scholarship requirements, the applicant should attain a cumulative grade-point average of 2.5. Since the quality of coursework in predental science is basic to success in dentistry, special consideration to such college work is given by the admissions committee. The grade-point average is based upon the University of Iowa’s marking system in which a grade of “A” is equivalent to four points. Other marking systems will be evaluated by the office of admissions and the committee on admissions of the college of dentistry.
Applicants who have completed the requirements for admission to dentistry five or more years prior to seeking admission to this college of dentistry will be considered by the admissions committee only under exceptional conditions.
Preference will be given to applicants who are residents of Iowa, but consideration will also be given to outstanding nonresidents.
Personal interviews will be required of applicants for admission to the college of dentistry. Applicants will be notified when they should appear for the required interviews with members of the admissions committee.

Except upon a showing acceptable to it, the admissions committee will not consider applications from students who fail to take the test prior to the June 1 preceding the fall semester in which they wish to enter.
Fulfillment of the specific requirements for admission listed above does not ensure admission to the college of law. From the applicants meeting the minimum requirements, the admissions committee of the college of law will select those applicants who, in their judgment, appear to be best qualified for the study and practice of law. The law admissions committee may require personal interviews of applicants.
	2.7(2) Admission with advanced standing.

A student may, at the time of admission to the college, declare an intent to enter a teaching program and be assigned a teacher adviser from the student’s first enrollment. The college must give special consideration to scholarship, health, character, personality, and quality of potential leadership of an applicant for a teaching curriculum.

681—2.38(262) Admission requirements for graduate students. Graduates of a college or university accredited by the National Council for the Accrediting of Teacher Education or by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools or a corresponding regional agency will be granted admission to graduate study if their applications for admission have been approved by the registrar.
A graduate of a college or university that is not accredited may be granted conditional admission at the discretion of the registrar. Admission to graduate study does not guarantee admission to candidacy for an advanced degree.
