Your responsibilities

CAP students must take their first two years of science studies at Waterloo, and complete the academic requirements for admission to the PharmD program by the end of the winter term of their second academic year. Students are responsible for ensuring that when selecting electives they take all of the courses required for admission to the PharmD program by the end of Year Two.

The CAP Maintenance Requirement Checklist and PharmD Course Requirement Checklist will help keep you on track!
