POLICY STATEMENT

Each student is responsible for independently applying to the JCNDE to take INBDE examination. Students are eligible to take Integrated National Boards beginning on March1st in the spring semester in the third year of dental school, and it must be passed by January 31st of the spring semester of the fourth year of dental school. Each student must receive a passing grade on Integrated National Board in order to be certified for graduation. Two failures on INBDE will result in the loss of clinical privileges, and a referral to the Student Affairs Executive Committee to discuss the student’s academic status. The committee will have the authority to suggest a remediation plan and/or repeating coursework in order to certify the student for graduation.
