A student accepted to the Dent-P program will be required to register for a full year in the Faculty of Science. In that year, the student must take courses totalling 30 credits. Following the successful completion of this year as determined by a Student Promotion Committee, students will proceed into the first year of the four-year D.M.D. program. Students must obtain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 with all individual grades of B or higher for required courses (including complementary science courses) and passing grades for all complementary non-science courses to be promoted into the first year of the D.M.D. program.
