As the new incoming Dean of the School ofDentistry I am excited to join an exceptionalcommunity of educators, scientists and cliniciansat the ULSD. Moreover, I look forward to workingwith the faculty, students, alumni, friends of theDental School and the university community toensure that Dentistry’s Challenge for Excellencecontinues at the pace set by my predecessors.

Dentistry's Challenge for Excellence

In essence, we will sustain the initiative “...tobecome a preeminent metropolitan researchuniversity nationally recognized for our success inadvancing the intellectual, social and economicdevelopment of our community and ourCommonwealth” developed in 1997. The Schoolof Dentistry, as a member of the Louisvilleacademic community, was called to be acontributor to the attainment of the university’sChallenge. In addition, at that time, nationalinfluences on dental education provided anopportune time to change the way we do things indental education, research, patient care andservice.

ULSD 2008 is a continuation plan to transformthe UofL dental education enterprise to supportthe university’s Challenge and contribute to thenational advancement of academic dentistry. In atime when accountability and selectiveinvestments are being made in higher education,it will be in our best interest to implement asimilar strategy of accountability and selectiveinvestment.

We will measure our progress using the School ofDentistry scorecard. What follows is a five-yearupdate to position the School of Dentistry to berecognized as a significant contributor to theChallenge.

Health Sciences Center

The University of Louisville Health SciencesCenter (HSC) is located just east of downtownLouisville on the Health Sciences Campus and iscontiguous to the main properties of threeseparate hospital systems—the UniversityHospital, Jewish Hospital HealthCare Services(JHHS) and Norton Healthcare. Collectively thisarea, which totals 24 city blocks, is known as theLouisville Medical Center. It is easily accessiblefrom all residential areas of the city. Thequadrangle of the HSC includes the Schools ofMedicine and Dentistry, the Instructional Building,and the Commons Building which houses anauditorium, library and cafe. A building adjacentto the quadrangle houses the School of Nursing,the Children and Youth Health Clinic, and thecampus bookstore. The School of Public Healthand Information Sciences, administrative officesof the School of Medicine, and conferencefacilities are housed in the beautifully renovatedAbell Administration Building. Other facilitieswithin the Health Sciences complex include theAmbulatory Care Building, an outpatient carefacility housing many of the University’s clinicaldepartments and teaching practices as well asthe Primary Care Center, and the James GrahamBrown Cancer Center, a cancer care andresearch facility. The Donald E. Baxter and DeliaB. Baxter Biomedical Research Buildings totalover 17,000 square feet of research space.

HistoryThe University of Louisville School of Dentistryenjoys a rich heritage in dental education and areputation for clinical excellence that reachesback to the 1800s.

Since the first class of 10 dentists graduated in1887, over 7,500 men and women have joinedtheir ranks. With record numbers of outstandingapplications—more than 2,400 for 80 positions—the school’s tradition of excellence promises tostretch far into the future. More than 1,000 dentalhygienists have graduated from ULSD since theprogram began in 1952.The Dental Hygienebachelor of science program is Kentucky’s onlydental hygiene program housed within a dentalschool.

More than 100,000 patients are seen each yearat the dental school. Under the leadership of theULSD Community Dental Health program, ourfaculty, staff and students provide approximately$1 million worth of dental services to theunderserved each year and participate in morethan 80 ongoing initiatives to promote oral health

Innovation in Clinical EducationThe University of Louisville School of Dentistry isa leader in computer-assisted education in bothclassrooms and clinics. Students can practiceclinical skills on computerized, lifelike patientmannequins in the Simulation Clinic. The DentalEducation Center is outfitted with state-of-the-artequipment and equipped for wireless access.

Patient treatment laboratories and PediatricDentistry and Orthodontic clinics are all newlyrenovated. A student clinic renovation is planned.The design will provide flexibility and improvedpatient flow to further enhance students’ clinicaleducation.

Facilities of the School of Dentistry

The three-story School of Dentistry buildingoccupies almost 200,000 square feet at theHealth Sciences Center campus. Emphasis hasbeen placed on clinical and laboratory facilitiesand equipment. Clinical areas have beenprovided in the School of Dentistry using acubicle system. In a cubicle, the student conductshis or her practice in an atmosphere of privacy,which enhances efficiency and self-confidence inthe pursuit of total patient care.

The laboratories are multi-disciplinary units whichprovide an area for individual study and work.Each work station is equipped with both high andlow bench positions. The high bench provides allutilities necessary for biological laboratoryprocedures, while the low bench enables astudent to learn preclinical techniques in a sittingposition where a patient-simulated manikin andmodern equipment closely simulate the clinicalenvironment. Support laboratories adjacent to theunit labs provide areas for technical laboratoryprocedures.

30 Policies

AttendancePolicyThe faculty of the School ofDentistry believe that all studentsshould participate fully in theireducational program. Students areexpected to attend scheduledlectures, seminars, laboratorysessions and called class meetings,and to fulfill their clinicalassignments and academicresponsibilities. It is the experienceof the faculty that only through highlevels of classroom and clinicalactivity may students meet thestated objectives and requirementsof the program. High levels ofutilization not only assist students infulfilling requirements but moreimportantly assure the highestpossible level of service to patientsunder student care.

Determination of StudentStatusFormal review of student progress ismade each semester by the StudentProgress and Promotion Committee(SPPC). Student progress isassessed according to standardsdefined in the Student Progress andPromotion Guidelines. The StudentProgress and Promotion Guidelinesare the principal standards indetermining each student's status;however, extenuatingcircumstances are considered.Motions made by the StudentProgress and Promotion Committeeconstitute recommendations to theDean. Copies of the StudentProgress and Promotion Guidelinesare distributed to entering studentsduring the first week of classes.

Cumulative Grade PointAverageQuality standards are determined byusing a four (4) point grade scale,assigning four (4) points to an "A"grade, three (3) points to a "B"grade, two (2) points to a "C" grade,one (1) point to a "D" grade, andzero (0) points to an "F" grade. "P"grades, "X" grades, and "I" gradesare NOT used in calculating a gradepoint average (GPA). All coursesare assigned credit hours by theschool's Curriculum Committee.Multiplying the credit hours for eachcourse by the grade points earnedin the course yields the total numberof quality points earned in a course.The cumulative GPA is calculatedby adding all quality points earnedin the dental curriculum and dividingby the total number of graded credithours undertaken. The academicyear includes work completed in thefall semester, spring semester, andsummer session. A grade earned in

a repeated course does not replacethe original "F" grade on theacademic transcript. All gradesearned in all courses are used in thecalculation of a student's cumulativeGPA for all purposes exceptadvancement.

Criteria for Promotion, Honors,Probation and DismissalPromotionSuccessful academic performanceis required for promotion throughthe dental curriculum. Studentsfailing to meet academicrequirements are eligible forremediation or dismissal, consistentwith the Student Progress andPromotion Guidelines.

HonorsStudents are evaluated for theDean's List and the Dean's ScholarList at the end of each Freshmanand Sophomore semester, and atthe conclusion of the Junior andSenior years. The followingguidelines are followed:

1. Students who have a cumulativeGPA of at least 2.50 and earn acurrent semester GPA of 3.30 orabove are placed on the Dean'sList for that semester and receivea congratulatory letter from theOffice of the Dean.

2. Students who have a cumulativeGPA of at least 3.00 and earn acurrent semester GPA of 3.80 orabove are placed on the Dean'sScholar List for that semesterand receive a congratulatoryletter from the Office of the Deancommending their exceptionallevel of scholarship.

ProbationStudents receiving an "F" grade orearning a semester or cumulativeGPA below 2.000 are placed onprobation. Students on probationare subject to the followingconditions:

1. Required to show evidence ofregular attendance at allassigned classes and clinics.

2. Required to attend regularremediation sessions asappropriate with their monitor oradvisor.

3. Expected to remove him/herselffrom probationary status withinone year or face an automaticdismissal hearing.

4. May be restricted by theAssociate Dean for PredoctoralEducation from serving as classofficers or representatives onschool committees.

DismissalStudents enrolled in the regular ordecelerated curriculum whosecumulative GPA falls belowminimum cumulative GPAs shownbelow are scheduled for a hearingwhich may result in dismissal.

MinimumSemester Cumulative GPAFirst year,fall semester 1.500*First year,spring semester 1.800*Second year,fall semester 1.900*Second year,spring semester 2.000Third year 2.000

Fourth year 2.000

*Decisions on first year and on fallsemester, second year studentsare made with consideration for aperiod of adjustment toprofessional education.

PerformanceEvaluationDue Process for StudentHearingsThe Student Progress andPromotion Committee may call aPerformance Hearing if theCommittee determines a need tomeet with a student to discussimportant aspects of the student'sacademic, clinical, personal, orprofessional performance. Thepurpose of a hearing is to providethe members of the SPPC with anappropriate forum in which to meetwith and discuss a student'sproblems. The SPPC Guidelinescontain a detailed description of thePerformance Evaluation Hearing.

Repeat of a Class YearThe repeat of an entire year for thepurpose of overcoming academicdifficulties is considered anappropriate option to recommend tothe Dean when:

1. Degree of academic deficiency isjudged by the SPPC to be ofsufficient magnitude as to renderless extensive forms ofremediation inadequate.

2. A nonacademic problem ariseswhich clearly contributes to thestudent's academic difficulties. Inthis situation the SPPC hasresponsibility for evaluating theprobable validity and impact ofthe nonacademic problem’s) onthe student's academicperformance.

When a student is required torepeat a year, the Associate Deanfor Predoctoral Education in concertwith the SPPC will define thecurriculum content for the repeatedyear prior to the beginning of thenext academic year.

Grades"I" (Incomplete) Grades and "X"GradesAn "I" grade is assigned wheninformation necessary to permitproper evaluation of the student'sperformance is insufficient. An "X"grade means that the course workhas not been completed because ofthe nature of the course (e.g.,availability of patients). Thefollowing determines the dispositionof these grades:

1. A student cannot graduate withan "I" or an "X" grade.

2. An unresolved "I" grade ischanged to "F" if the "I" grade isnot made up by the end of thenext semester.

3. All conditions associated with theremoval of the "I" grade must beconveyed to the student andAssociate Dean for PredoctoralEducation in writing by thecourse director within ten workingdays after the grade has beenofficially recorded.

"F" GradesThe "F" grade indicates failure toachieve course goals at anacceptable level. The "F" gradecarries a zero (O) grade point. Thefollowing determine the dispositionof the "F" grade:

1. A student cannot graduate withan "F" grade.

2. A student is ineligible for Dean'sList or Dean's Scholar Listrecognition for a semester inwhich an "F" grade is received.

3. The manner (procedures,schedule, completion deadlines,etc.) permitted for theremediation of an "F" grade isdetermined by the department inwhich the failure occurred,subject to the approval of theDean.

4. A course taken at anotherinstitution to remediate an "F"grade must be approved inadvance by the chair of thedepartment in which the failureoccurred.

Policies 31

5. A course director may notaverage old and new final gradesin developing and reporting anew final grade for a student whois making up an "F" grade. Thenew grade must be basedentirely upon the student'sperformance in the new course.

6. A grade earned in a repeatedcourse does not replace theoriginal "F" grade on theacademic transcript. All gradesearned in all courses are used inthe calculation of a student'scumulative GPA.

Pass-Fail GradesCertain courses may use thePassFail or HonorsPassFailsystems of identifying academicsuccess, subject to approval by theCurriculum Committee. When majorcourses are offered on a passfailbasis, the SPPC may requirespecial evidence of studentachievement for review by theSPPC during student promotionsmeetings. If used, the course gradewill not affect the computation of theGPA.

Exemption fromCoursesThe dental school may consideracademic work done at a previousinstitution as a reasonablesubstitution for DMD programacademic requirements. Studentswho wish exemption (in whole or inpart) from a required course maypetition the course director forofficial release from the course. Therelease must be acceptable to thecourse director, the chair of thesponsoring department, and theAssociate Dean for PredoctoralEducation. An exemption request isnormally filed either in advance ofthe course or within the first twoweeks after a course has begun.Students wishing to petition for suchexemption may do so by contactingthe Associate Dean for PredoctoralEducation.

Ethical ViolationsThe School expects high ethicalstandards for all members of thedental profession. As futureprofessionals, students shouldexhibit appropriate professionalethical behavior in all academic andclinical settings.

Students may be dismissed fromschool because of unethicalconduct. A formal procedure hasbeen established to review caseswhere students are accused ofunethical behavior.
