Transfer Students

A transfer student is any person who has ever been enrolled in the professional level at another college or school of pharmacy. Attrition rates are low; therefore, the number of transfer students accepted is extremely limited and at times not available. Mercer's COPHS does not accept PharmCAS applications for transfer students.

An individual who wishes to transfer into the four-year Doctor of Pharmacy degree program from an Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) accredited college or school of pharmacy must send to the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions a letter of intent to transfer. If availability exists, the transfer applicant must submit all transcripts and PCAT scores to the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions. In addition, the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Admissions must receive a letter from the Dean’s Office at the other school granting approval of the transfer to Mercer and stating that the student is in good standing and eligible to continue or return. Transfer students must satisfy Mercer’s pre-pharmacy course requirements and meet current admission standards in order to be considered.

If qualified, the applicant must meet personally with the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Admissions. After the interview, the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Admissions will make a recommendation regarding admission to the Dean’s Office for final action. The number of transfer students accepted will depend upon space availability. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Admissions will inform the Dean’s Office at the school of transfer of the decision reached. All correspondence will be handled by the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions.

Due to differences in curricula of various pharmacy schools, some or all credit may not transfer at the same professional level. Students may not be eligible for professional year advancement at Mercer equivalent to that of their current institution.
