Does the eligibility requirements matter for anyone taking NBDE Part 1? How does the process go? Testing Service just know that you are currently enrolled into a dental school.

No, for "testing services just know"
You have to be eligible to take the exam, it is not for any person to take. For the accredited schools you need a letter from the dean of the school. For not accredited schools the requirements are usually posted on the exam website. I haven't checked it in a while

I read in the NBDE 1 guide and it says that a student enrolled in CODA programs in USA, has to have the dean to verify that he or she is prepared in all NBDE 1 disciplines. I visited the website Search for Dental Programs (for CODA and my school Meharry states that under my dean it says next to accreditation status that it is approval with reporting requirements. Can you help me out here cuz I do not know what it means.

I assume you are in some kind of an unusual situation, because normally everyone in class is taking this exam and informed of all the requirements.
In order to take the exam you need a letter from the dean, just like it says in the guide. This requirement is for students who are in their second year of the dental school, as far as I remember

Usually schools give students a date range to take their test between and it is up to the students to schedule and take their exam within that date range.

Just out of curiosity, has your school not given you information about how the boards process works? It seems like they should be giving you a lecture or at the very least an email explaining the process and eligibility etc.
