During these very challenging times, it is our highest priority to ensure that students remain on track with program requirements and are able to do so with little to no interruption. Institutions throughout the country moved classes to an online format for spring, summer, and fall 2020 terms. We understand that many institutions will also be offering courses remotely in the Spring 2021. Courses that we have already approved and/or have been articulated, will be accepted with no additional information required.
If you are considering a course that is not articulated, you will need approval from the Office of Pharmacy Admission. To request acceptance of your proposed courses, please use the Planned Courses form.
When selecting a course, you may find the guidelines below helpful:
- Pacific prefers that students complete a course that is offered physically on the campus which includes a physical lab.
- If a physical lecture and lab is not available, Pacific prefers students take an online lecture which includes a virtual lab demonstration.
- If an online course is not available with an online virtual lab demonstration, Pacific will accept an online lecture course with no lab required.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Pharmacy Admission if you have questions at pharmdadmission@pacific.edu or 209.946.7415.
Transcripts
Pacific requires an official transcript sent from each school you attended by July 1.
Electronic transcripts are preferred and should be sent through Parchment or the National Student Clearinghouse. To determine if your school offers this service through one of these vendors, please check their directories. If your school is not listed, arrange for an official paper transcript to be mailed.
Send transcripts to:
University of the Pacific — Pharmacy Processing
Office of Pharmacy Admission
3601 Pacific Ave.
Stockton, CA 95211
You are required to submit official transcripts from all schools attended by July 1 to complete your admission file. PharmCAS cannot forward transcripts. If you are attending summer 2021 classes, you need to arrange for a transcript to be sent as soon as available and no later than Aug. 15. We must have a grade for all pre-requisite classes prior to orientation.
If you are using credit by exam (AP, IB, CLEP) to fulfill a pre-requisite and official scores have not been sent, you need to have them sent by July 1.
For more information, contact the Office of Pharmacy Admission at pharmdadmission@pacific.edu or 209.946.7415.
