Transfer Admissions Procedures
 

The School reserves the right to make changes in requirements for admission, curriculum, standards for advancement and graduation, fees, and rules and regulations.

The School may accept transfer students who have a valid reason for requesting a transfer. The Admissions Committee will determine the year transfer students will be placed in the PharmD program. Transfer students are only admitted to the fall semester.
