    Posted 06-04-2021 09:56 AM

    Hello colleagues,

    The 2021-2022 PharmCAS School Manual is now available. The purpose of this manual is to assist AACP member institutions in understanding PharmCAS policies and procedures. The manual includes instructions specifically for participating Pharm.D. programs, as well as selected excerpts from the PharmCAS application instructions.

    For ease, the manual has a Table of Contents on page 2. Another helpful tip is to use the "Ctrl + F" option to locate a desired topic within the document.

    A few items worth mentioning to review because they are new, revised, or frequently asked about topics:

    • Pages 14-15: Applicant Code of Conduct Violations
    • Pages 17-19: PharmCAS Institutional Participation Policy*
      *Participating schools must require all applicants to the first year of the professional Pharm.D. degree program to apply through PharmCAS and only offer interviews and make admission decisions on applicants with Verified application status in PharmCAS.
    • Pages 27-30: Options for Multi-Campus Programs
    • Page 36: Application Deadline Dates*

    • Pages 55-56: Important Dates

    • Pages 81: Criminal Background Checks and Deferred Applicants*
      *The school must decide whether to instruct deferred applicants to complete a Certiphi check during the current (1st) cycle and/or (2nd) subsequent cycle.


        The 2021-2022 Application Instructions (PDF) will be available to applicants when the new PharmCAS website launches in July.

        Please let us know if you have any questions.

        Thanks,
