Students in the Pharm. D. program are expected to attend all scheduled classes and complete all laboratory assignments. Attendance may be recorded and maintained by the respective Departments. Unexcused absence in the Professional Practice Experience course will result in a failing grade of 'F' in the course.

A, B+, B, C+, C, and P are passing grades; F is a failing grade. The I/F is an incomplete grade because of incomplete work that must be completed satisfactorily no later than the last day of the semester in which the student is next enrolled in the School.

The Academic Dean of the School of Pharmacy will determine the courses to be accepted for a credit from a regionally accredited college or university for transfer. Only courses with a grade of “ C “ (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or above will be considered for transfer credit. The School of Pharmacy DOES NOT evaluate foreign transcripts. Foreign transfer credits MUST appear on a U.S. regionally accredited college or university transcript prior to consideration by the Academic Dean. Please contact the Office of Student Affairs before submitting foreign transcripts.

A transfer student is any person who was previously enrolled in a Doctor of Pharmacy program at a college or university other than Howard University whose program was accredited by a United States regional accreditation agency and the Accreditation Council on Pharmacy Education (ACPE). To qualify for admission consideration as a transfer student, the applicant must be in good academic standing in all institutions previously attended, in addition to meeting all other requirements. To apply, please submit all application materials listed on page 2, directly to the School of Pharmacy. DO NOT APPLY THROUGH PHARMCAS.
