ADEX Exam Information & Candidate Resources
POLICY ON AUTHORIZATION FOR STATE, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL BOARD EXAMINATIONS – The Dental Hygiene Department has an obligation to withhold recommending a student to take a board examination if a student is considered to be an unsafe or unethical practitioner. Graduation from an accredited dental hygiene program does not guarantee a graduate will perform at a passing level in a stressful board environment. Students are responsible for all exam registration fees.
Each student is responsible for contacting the state board of dentistry in the state they wish to practice. Additional courses and/or fees may be required depending upon the state’s regulations.
In the event a student fails the clinical board and has to remediate:
1. The student is responsible for submitting paperwork from NDHBE Board Examiners to NAU.
2. The student must reapply to NAU.
3. Student must enroll in and complete DH 313 (Didactic and Clinic)
4. If they fail to meet the summer deadline, the student must enroll in and complete Fall DH 411 (Clinic and Didactic)
5. The student is responsible for all fees associated with enrollment at NAU and in DH courses.
