Policy on Transfer Applicants and Advanced Standing

In addition to submitting the Sullivan University College of Pharmacy Application for Admission, a student wishing to transfer from another ACPE accredited College or School of Pharmacy shall submit:

  • A letter of request to the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs stating the reason(s) for the transfer
  • A transcript and course description of all courses taken at his/.her previous College or School of Pharmacy
  • A letter from the Dean of his/her previous institution stating the applicant’s academic standing and the Dean’s recommendation or other comments.

The Admissions and Student Affairs Committee will review each transfer request and determine eligibility for course equivalency. If previous coursework is found equivalent to our courses and if a grade of “C” or better has been earned in the courses taken at the previous institution, then the Admissions and Student Affairs Committee will grant a waiver and advanced standing status for the transfer student if he/she is admitted to the College. In making a determination to accept a transfer student, the Committee will consider:

  • The reason(s) for the transfer
  • The applicant’s prior academic performance
  • The applicant’s professional demeanor as determined from the admission interview process
  • The available space in the professional year for which the applicant seeks admission

It is congruent with the Mission and Vision of the Sullivan University College of Pharmacy to provide to qualified students an opportunity to pursue a degree in pharmacy leading to license to practice. Therefore, all applicants have an equal chance to seek admission into our program. However, no advanced standing credit will be awarded for professional pharmacy coursework completed at a foreign college or school of pharmacy or a college of school of pharmacy not accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).
