The American Student Dental Association encourages the administrations of all U.S. CODA-accredited dental schools to develop, utilize and distribute an estimated costs increase statement for incoming and existing students. In the event that an unresolved dispute over tuition arises involving a dental school and its students, the association will request the school to substantiate the tuition increase.

All U.S. CODA-accredited dental schools should annually review and update its estimated cost of attendance to ensure it accurately reflects actual cost of attendance in a timely manner to optimize students’ ability to secure appropriate funding. This figure should include cost of living expenses, all mandatory clinical equipment, and required program fees
