Institutional Evaluations (IEs) are processed by the Office of Student Affairs for current students and alumni under the direction of Dr. Lou DePaola, Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs. If you have any questions regarding the process, please contact the Office of Student Affairs, Ms. Kelly Powers by email at kpowers1@umaryland.edu or phone, 410-706-5627, after reviewing the information below. 

PASS is a centralized application service of the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) for individuals applying to advanced dental education programs. Please follow the steps 1 - 4 below if you are applying to postgraduate programs who participate with PASS. If you are applying to non-PASS postgraduate programs, please disregard step 1 and follow the instructions for steps 2 - 4.

1.  Applicants must complete the online PASS e-Form prior to requesting an IE. Please refer to the information made available to ADEA PASS Applicants.  

• The University of Maryland School of Dentistry does not permit the release of IEs to student or alumni requestors so be sure to "waive" your right to the release of this information on your PASS application.

2.  The Institutional Evaluation Request Form needs to be completed to request an IE from UMSOD; a umaryland email is required. To aid us in writing your IE, you will be asked to upload a recent curriculum vitae (CV). In completing the Institutional Evaluation Request Form, please note the following:

• As a current student, if you are waiting for any final grades to be entered and processed, you may want to wait to make this request to ensure we are using the most accurate GPA data.

3.  Please allow for a processing time of four (4) weeks. Requests for IEs are processed by program deadline date versus request date, for example, specialty programs have earlier deadlines than GPRs.

 4.  For non-PASS postgraduate programs, include name of program director, program name, address, and contact information (email, etc.) in the NonPASS Contact Information portion of the form.
