The Office of Academic Affairs oversees all educational programs, including DDS, the Internationally Trained Dentist Program (ITDP), Dental Hygiene and graduate and post-graduate programs. It administers Global Initiatives in Oral Health, the Pathways program, educational course support services, faculty development in teaching, clinical rotation schedules and accreditation.

Student academic progress is monitored by regular meetings, at the end of each semester and at the midterm of the fall and winter semesters, of Academic Review Board I (D1 and D2 years) and Academic Review Board II (D3 and D4 years). These boards are comprised of faculty representatives from each department. The Assistant Dean for Student Services, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the Registrar are ad hoc members (non-voting) of these two Boards. Decisions regarding academic progress and promotion are made according to the faculty Policy for Academic Performance and Promotion, which includes the procedures for student appeals.

The School of Dentistry Curriculum Committee is responsible for managing the curriculum, evaluating educational outcomes and reviewing the curriculum on a regular basis. New courses must be reviewed and approved by the Curriculum Committee. It is chaired by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and has departmental/discipline representation.

The first step is to fill out the Service Request Form and send a complete syllabus. We encourage course directors to come to us as soon as the semester course schedules are available, usually 6-8 weeks before the semester begins, so that we may be of assistance every step of the way, from course set-up to final grades.

Looking for more help with your courses? Curriculum Administration can help! We are happy to share our expertise on syllabus creation, Canvas, and Wolverine Access. If you are wondering if there may be a better way to do something, please talk to us! We may just have the solution that you have been looking for.

Some of our Dental and Dental Hygiene students have documented disabilities which require special accommodations to ensure that they receive an equitable education experience. These students will present Course Directors with a letter at the beginning of the semester, signed by Dr. Renee E. Duff, Assistant Dean for Student Services, outlining the accommodations recommended by the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) department. Accommodations may include, but are not limited to, captioning requests, CART services, interpretive services, separate testing environment, or additional time for testing. If you have any questions, you are welcome to call or email SSD, Dr. Renee Duff or the Educational Support Services Team in Academic Affairs.

Department administrators oversee compliance efforts in their areas of responsibility. Ultimately, everyone is responsible for compliance.

Compliance questions - if you are not sure how to report a concern, or if a concern is worth reporting, you may discuss it with the Compliance Officer who can offer guidance as to the most appropriate reporting mechanism.

I have been calling for over a year and a half. My mom and I have left countless messages with no answer. Maybe think about a better reception system.

The teachers are really experienced and I loved them. However, I just wish students can call their teachers when they are unable to handle a more complicated case. Yes I am talking about you Anthony.

So much for getting a call back from these people. I called mine times and left four messages. I gave up on the Procedure I was supposed to get. It was a very scary time for me and I hope I never have to put my life in the hands of U of M again. They say keep calling. That's their job. I shouldn't have to call over and over.

I am fully aware that this is a teaching experience. A couple of days ago I had a "Simple Extraction of molar 19". Everything was straight forward. I was called while I was at work in Pontiac. They had an opening in 90 minutes. I hurried to get there. The school is being renovated. I think it would be best to find 3-4 acres and build a modern facility like the UNIV of Detroit did in 2002.The oral surgery clinic looks like it was constructed in the 1920s. The corridor leading to the treatment room was not wide enough for two people to pass in opposite directions. The treatment room looked prehistoric; sort of like a torture chamber. I looked past all that. On to the treatment. A young black student greeted me and he said he was assisting in my tooth extraction. He and the treating student explained the procedure. They made me feel comfortable. I told them I did not want to feel anything. They laughed and stated I will feel pressure throughout but little pain. I had a badly decayed molar. It broke off at the crown leaving the roots intact. They asked the instructor for guidance. The doctor had a real difficult time using manual tools. He then switched to a drill. The drilling had t aken 4 attempts. It was a workout for all of the 5 people, myself the two dental students, the dental assistant and the instructor. The doctor tried to hide his frustration.. After 1 hour it was out and they sutured me up. Every dental experience is unique. This was my first extraction using local aenesthesia. I experienced very little post op pain. Was this any different than going to a high priced dentist? No. The private doctor would have had to do it all alone. In summary, this was a very good experience followed by a very good outcome. A good job by these future dentists.

So many reviews from people who haven't gotten in. Don't listen to those. This is a highly discounted program as students are learning and performing the work under instructor guidance. They are 5th, 6th, 7th year students, not freshman doing dental work out of their dorm room. The wait to get in is extremely long, they were transparent about that, was about a year wait. I had some minor cavities and other work that wasn't extremely important to get done right away. If you need work done asap and you aren't already a patient, go somewhere else. If you are able to get into the program, have all your work done here, especially if you don't have insurance. It will save you a ton of money, I've had nothing but great experiences and quality work done.

I have been trying to get an appointment since November 2020. Every time I call, the acceptance window for new patients is pushed back to a further date by MONTHS! I was finally able to leave a voicemail 3 weeks ago and I have not received a call since!!! I am trying to get in for a wisdom teeth removal but I guess I'll have to find someone else to give my business to!

Took multiple calls to get an appointment after my dentist office submitted an online referral 3 separate times. Office staff do not return phone calls. Office staff do not follow up as they say they will. Do not recommend this clinic. If you want to be treated like a number and not a custome this would be a fine place to go.

Haven't had my procedure yet, but the dentist seemed incredibly knowledgeable and I had a great evaluation and received a lot of good information. I procrastinated my procedure here for years and years because I thought it'd be a student doing the work. The lady I scheduled with said a student would only do it if the wisdom tooth was practically out in it's own! As to the person who never received a call back, I'm pretty sure they have to receive your referral BEFORE they'll call you back and I'm pretty sure the machine states that. They are very busy.

I would definitely go here again. Students are very friendly. Appointment was 2:15. They came and got me before my appointment. They explained the procedure well.Had my procedure yesterday and no pain today
