Frequently Asked Questions
General
Admissions
Unfortunately, your application cannot be evaluated unless all of the required documentation is submitted on time.
Transcripts, in particular, can often take weeks or even months to arrive. Therefore, please request transcripts (and, if requested, corresponding course descriptions) from your previous institutions long in advance of the application deadline.
Pharmacists must be licensed in the jurisdiction in which they plan to complete experiential placements in order to be considered for admission to the program. Currently, experiential placements are completed in most Canadian provinces. Thus, licensure to practice pharmacy in Canada is currently necessary for admission.
Internationally educated pharmacists hoping to practice in Alberta must first complete the CCPP program (as part of the overall licensure process) before applying to the PharmD for Practicing Pharmacists program.
