Transfer and Course Credit Equivalency Policy:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy (FWSOP) does not accept transfer students directly into the Doctor of Pharmacy program. All students wishing to attend the FWSOP must apply through PharmCAS. Students who have attended another ACPE accredited Doctor of Pharmacy program and were in good academic, professional \/ conduct and financial standing at their prior institution(s) may request credit for Doctor of Pharmacy courses completed at another ACPE accredited school or college of pharmacy that are equivalent to the FWSOP Doctor of Pharmacy P1 Fall courses. No more than the equivalent of one semester of didactic credit (P1 Fall) may be given to any student requesting credit for courses completed at another ACPE accredited college or school of pharmacy.<\/p>\n

Because of differences in pharmacy schools\u2019 curricula and course content, the only courses that will be considered for credit will be those in which the student earned a minimum grade of \u201cB\u201d at an ACPE accredited institution and that are determined to be equivalent to those in the FWSOP Doctor of Pharmacy P1 Fall semester.<\/p>\n

In order to determine the equivalency of courses, the applicant must submit the syllabi of all courses for which they are seeking credit to the Assistant \/ Associate Dean of Student and Professional Affairs (ADSPA). The ADSPA will receive the syllabi and consult with the appropriate department chair(s) to determine course equivalence. The ADSPA will notify the applicant regarding the courses for which they will receive credit and the applicant will complete the HPU Application for Transfer of Credit Hours to the FWSOP to process the credit transfer.<\/p>\n
