Getting Ready for Annual Renewal
Alberta College of Dental Hygienists
The College has started receiving questions in anticipation of the upcoming annual Renewal period. We expect the annual Renewal period to open the first week of September 2024. The Renewal deadline is 11:59 PM (MT) on October 31, 2024.
Registrants who do not have a complete and approved Renewal application by 11:59 pm MT on October 31 will have their permit suspended and they will not be able to practice dental hygiene. Practicing dental hygiene in Alberta without a valid practice permit is considered unprofessional conduct and may result in misconduct fines.
The Maintaining Your Registration webpage contains frequently asked questions about information about Renewal requirements, including:
- The elimination of the Non-Practicing Register
- The Registration and Practice Permit Renewal Policy
- Vulnerable Sector Checks
Read the information and FAQs on that page carefully. Full requirements for annual practice permit renewal are detailed in the Registration and Practice Permit Renewal Policy.
If you have read the information, FAQs, and policy, and still have questions about the upcoming Renewal period, please email info@acdh.ca.
