Hello to everyone,

I coordinate the TDHA/ETSU tuition agreement as a volunteer for TDHA and look forward to helping you further your education in dental hygiene. I have no affiliation directly with the TN Board of Dentistry or ETSU. Tn BoD can be reached at: 1-800-778-4123.

Here are the criteria to be eligible for in-state tuition. You must:  be accepted at ETSU and be registered for the classes of your choice (make sure you have confirmed your schedule of classes on Goldlink); be an ADHA member with an expiration date after the last class of the semester (can not have an expiration date of 1-10 and register for classes that end in 5-10); and hold a current TN license with District 8 indicated.

** New request for all students using this service: Please contact ADHA member services at (800) 243-2342, and ask Katie Powell to change your state membership to TN 8th District regardless of when your license expires. Please note your ADHA membership must be through the last date of the class; it cannot expire in January if your last class is in May.

This site has a secure online registration form with a built-in fee schedule and will allow you to make an online credit card payment or print a payment voucher to send with your check. The fees can be viewed at www.etsu.edu/fa/fs/bursar/tuitioninfo/feeschedule.aspx. Please indicate which semester you are registering for and if classes are undergraduate or graduate level. If you are taking RODP classes, go to www.rodp.org/home.htm and the fees are posted there.

There may be other fees added to your final invoice that TDHA has no control over. ETSU does not give me these fees to give to you. The comptroller’s office reviews each of your classes and adjusts the total. Once I receive the final invoice, usually mid-semester or at the end of the semester, I will contact you with any balance or refund due.

If you are paying by check, print the payment voucher and mail it to me by U.S. mail with no signature required.  I must receive payment 2 weeks prior to the first day of class.

The information you send me is a binding payment contract with TDHA and includes non-refundable fees which must be paid regardless of the outcome of your enrollment at ETSU. I have no control over class availability and cannot help you if your registration is late. I have deadlines to meet to make this service available. TDHA reserves the right to refuse this service to any applicant.

Good luck with the upcoming semester.
