Incoming PharmD Students

Review the Applicant Service Centre to confirm whether any document is outstanding for your application. If you have previously submitted an interim transcript, a final transcript including grades for all completed courses up to and including the 2026 Jan–Apr term is required. The deadline to submit your official documents is May 15, 2026. Refer to details on how documents can be submitted here.

For questions or concerns about submitting transcripts and documents by the deadline, contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office through the Applicant Service Centre. 

For applicants who receive an offer of admission to the PharmD program, a non-refundable acceptance deposit of $2,000 is required upon acceptance. This fee is non-refundable in all circumstances and cannot be transferred to other UBC programs. It is therefore very important to ensure that your final transcripts show successful completion of all admission requirements before accepting your offer of admission. Additionally, if you receive an offer of admission, please only accept if you plan to attend the PharmD program at UBC in September. 

A Welcome Webinar will be held in June to help you get prepared for your degree. Details of the webinar will be shared as soon as it’s confirmed.

Registration for Year 1 PharmD students takes place in June. You will receive your registration appointment roughly 1 to 2 weeks prior. You need to complete your registration by July 15.

Students in the PharmD program will need to access course materials through our online systems and applications. A full laptop is required.

Check your email for detailed technology requirements. 

To participate in your practicums (which may start anytime between May and July next year), you’ll need to complete an immunization review with UBC Student Health Services.

For 2026/27, the fee for this review, payable to the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, is $173.50 along with a TB screen test fee of $41.50. Refer to the UBC Academic Calendar for more information on fees.

Detailed instructions on how to complete the immunization review will be sent to your email after registration.

All newly admitted PharmD students must register as a Student Pharmacist with the College of Pharmacists of BC by September 1. Follow the instructions under “Student Pharmacist Registration for 1st Year UBC Students” at bcpharmacists.org to apply online.

For full details, please refer to the UBC Academic Calendar.
