Frequently used links   

Covid-19:
The Covid-19 information is very fluid.  From one day to the next we are not sure what the CDC will say or what procedures may change. For this reason, we would like to make sure you have quick access to the most Current Covid Updates.

Maintenance Requests
The maintenance department has created a document that will better assist with identifying the reason for the maintenance request in the most concise way possible.  By clicking on the Maintenance Request link you will be taken directly to the requests for both dental maintenance and building issues.

Faculty Leave Requests
For faculty, there is no vacation accrual, instead there is faculty leave.  For the most recent Faculty Leave Request form, simple click the link provided here.

Risk Management Forms
Risk Management includes things as Student or general public Injury & property damage forms, Workers Compensation forms, vehicle accident reports, etc. For more specific information click Risk Management.

What’s New
Check out the new training videos for operatory! Equipment training

(Should we list out the trainings and make them links or have them go look at all of the trainings that are available by clicking the one link for them all?) I don’t want the page to be empty, but I don’t want overkill either.

We want your input!  Please click FEEDBACK to provide us with suggestions and opinion on the Site.
