The Upper Division Pre-Placement Program (UPP) is a special admission option for high school and lower division dental hygiene students.

The Upper Division Pre-Placement Program pre-admits up to 10 high-achieving students. Students selected for the program will be required to maintain a specific GPA in the lower division and will agree to begin upper division courses for a specific semester.  UPP students who have complied with the program requirements will NOT have to apply for competitive admission to the upper division– their admission is guaranteed!

Five spaces are reserved for high school seniors who will be first-time freshmen at the University of Louisville in the fall semester.  In the spring, five spaces are reserved for freshmen students who have successfully completed the first semester of full-time course work and meet the GPA requirement.
