**Due to the heavy academic and clinical time requirements of the Dental Hygiene courses, it is recommended that most support courses be completed before entry into this program. Scheduling problems may arise and could delay a student's graduation. Students using financial aid may choose to delay one or two of the support courses to use during a semester with less than 12 Dental Hygiene course hours.
