ADEA Application Prep Series
The ADEA Application Prep Series is designed for students planning to apply to dental or advanced education programs in the 2026–27 application cycle. This webinar series helps applicants navigate key steps, timelines and new features across each ADEA Centralized Application Service (CAS).
Sessions will highlight important updates for this application cycle, including the new mobile-first user experience, enhancements to the applicant portal and key application dates, along with practical advice for completing your application successfully.
The ADEA Centralized Application Services include:
- ADEA AADSAS® (ADEA Associated American Dental School Application Service): Supports students seeking dental education in the United States and Canada, including both D.D.S. and D.M.D. degrees.

Whether you’re applying through ADEA CAAPID, ADEA PASS or ADEA AADSAS or seeking assistance through the ADEA AADSAS Fee Assistance Program, each session offers clear guidance and the opportunity to ask questions directly to ADEA representatives.
