Hello colleagues,
We hope you are all staying safe and healthy during these challenging times. We wanted to provide you with updates from Liaison and Pearson regarding PharmCAS and PCAT operations, respectively.
LIAISON UPDATE
The PharmCAS operations and customer support teams will continue to provide uninterrupted services to both schools and applicants. Liaison does not expect any issues with mail, scanning, or verification.
Liaison is exploring ways to accommodate applicants who cannot access official transcripts due to temporary campus closures. More information will be shared as it becomes available.
PEARSON UPDATE
Pearson has been providing updates via their VUE Test Center website: https://home.pearsonvue.com/coronavirus-update
Starting today, March 17, Pearson is suspending test delivery at all U.S.- and Canada-based Pearson VUE-owned test centers for 30 days until April 16. This includes cancellation of the April 2020 PCAT testing dates that were previously scheduled for April 2 and 3, 2020. At this time, no decision has been made if these dates will be rescheduled.
If applicants can use July 2020 PCAT scores to apply to the fall 2020 (upcoming) entering class, please advise them to send their official scores directly to your institution, rather than to PharmCAS.
We will continue to provide important updates as more information becomes available.
Thanks,
Katie
