Dental Hygiene Admissions

Application and Enrollment Paused

Until further notice, the Dental Hygiene Program has paused enrollment and is not accepting applications for admission nor is the program enrolling new students.

We understand the effort students devote to preparing to apply and applaud your hard work and diligence. It is our sincere hope that you will continue to pursue your educational goals at Virginia Peninsula Community College. We encourage you to continue to work closely with your academic advisor.

We encourage you to explore VPCC’s many allied health and health science certificate and degree programs, as well as our workforce credential programs.

At this time, there is no update with regard to future acceptance of applications or enrollment into the Dental Hygiene Program.

We are happy to address all concerns and questions. You may reach us at:

Public Safety, Allied Health and Human Services Academic Unit at psahhs@vpcc.edu or by phone: 757-825-2808.

Please note, at this time, it is not possible for anyone to provide a timeframe with regard to future application acceptance and/or future enrollment dates.
