Pharmacy Major (PharmD) Grade and Progression Requirement

To progress into the subsequent semester of professional courses, students must receive a grade of C or better in all PHMD and PHSC courses, as well as in any course completed to fulfill the professional elective requirement.

For PharmD students, an unsatisfactory grade (U) in a co-op will be counted as a professional course deficiency.

Students who incur an incomplete grade in a prerequisite course may not progress into the subsequent courses(s). Any exceptions will be determined by protocols established by the program, after consultation with the student's academic advisor.
