Enter your updated summer or fall 2024 grades online and arrange for your official summer 2024 and fall 2024 transcripts to be sent directly to PharmCAS as soon as they are available. You should use an unofficial grade report from the institution to enter your courses online and not wait for an official transcript. Applicants who do not complete the Fall Academic Update in a timely manner may jeopardize their admission status.

• December 13, 2024: The Fall Academic Update opens. New courses will not be verified until the Academic Update window is open and your initial file is verified.    
• February 14, 2025: The Academic Update closes.

How to Complete the Fall Academic Update

1. Once your application status is “verified,” navigate to the “Transcript Entry” section. 
2. If you attended a college/university for the first time, add and save that institution to the Colleges Attended section.
3. Edit any planned/in-progress terms that are now completed by unchecking the “planned/in progress” box for the term. Then, enter your grades and credits. All courses in the term must be complete before you switch the term’s status to “complete.”
4. Enter any new planned or in-progress terms. Once done, submit your Fall Academic Update for verification. Do not submit until all course edits are done.
5. Complete the Transcript Review again.
6. To submit updates back to verification, click the “Submit My Updates” button. 
7. Once clicked, navigate to the “Update my Application” button on the dashboard. Click on this button to immediately send these application updates to your programs.
8. Arrange for all updated official transcripts to be sent to PharmCAS. It is your responsibility to ensure that all applicable grades are on the transcripts received by PharmCAS.  

Applicants (including accepted applicants) must enter their spring grades on the PharmCAS application beginning April 15, following the completion of the spring 2025 term. Applicants must enter spring grades before the 2024-2025 cycle and Spring Academic Update period closes on June 30, 2025.

It is your responsibility to add any new courses completed since your application was first submitted to PharmCAS and to edit any in-progress and planned courses. Courses that were originally reported as completed cannot be modified. 

• April 15, 2025: The Spring Academic Update opens. Applicants (including accepted applicants) should update their spring grades as soon as they are available.
• June 30, 2025: The Spring Academic Update window closes. PharmCAS will not accept course updates after this date.

Spring 2025 AU Transcripts

Applicants (including accepted applicants) are instructed to arrange for their official spring 2025 transcripts to be sent directly to PharmCAS as soon as they are available and before the cycle closes on June 30, 2025. If you do not submit your updated courses and transcripts in a timely manner, your selected programs may no longer consider you for admission.

PharmCAS will automatically notify all applicants who are identified as accepted to one or more programs that they should complete the Spring Academic Update (AU) and send their official spring 2025 transcripts to PharmCAS. If a program would like an applicant who is under review or on a wait list to also complete the Spring AU, it is responsible for communicating this requirement to the applicant directly.

Summer 2025 AU Transcripts

Applicants (including accepted applicants) must arrange for summer 2025 transcripts to be sent directly to the pharmacy school (and not to PharmCAS). The PharmCAS 2024-2025 cycle will be closed before summer 2025 transcripts will be available. For your summer 2025 coursework, the program that accepted you will verify your updated course information against your updated transcripts and calculate a new set of GPAs to confirm that you still meet their admissions requirements. PharmCAS does not verify these entries, nor generate new GPAs.
