The Student Handbook does not represent a contract between The University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry and the students who attend. The information contained in the COD Student Handbook is subject to change at the discretion of the COD Ad-Hoc Committee for Student Handbook as appropriate. In the event that any of the information outlined herein is found to be in conflict with University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and/or University of Oklahoma policies and/or procedures, the latter will automatically take precedence.

(see Policies and Procedures Faculty Handbook)

The Student Handbook is reviewed annually and revised as needed. Revisions to policies and procedures are noted at the end of each section.

Every effort is made to ensure the handbook is up-to-date. If changes occur, students will be notified by e-mail and will be expected to adhere to the most current version of the policy.

In addition to this Student Handbook, various departments, units, offices, or divisions within the COD may, with the approval of the Office of the Dean, periodically issue and/or change guidelines, rules, and/or manuals from time to time which pertain solely to the conduct of their individual areas. Students in these areas are subject to such guidelines, rules and/or manuals and are expected and required to understand and abide by them.

Specific departmental or divisional handbooks should be found on D2L for those specific courses.
