All students in the College of Dentistry who are not legal residents of the state of Indiana are charged a fee of $300 per semester.
Under the auspices of the American Dental Association and the faculty, a chapter of student members of the American Dental Association has been organized, which is a fully recognized association to which all students in the School of Dentistry are eligible. Through the formation of the Indiana University School of Dentistry Alumni Association, many privileges have been offered to dentists practicing in Indiana. The purpose of the Bulletin is to keep graduates informed about the activities and progress of the School.
