Post-admission requirements

Notice for all PharmD students

Due to recent Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP) regulation changes (effective October 1, 2024) and updates to the School's requirement verification processes, the following post-admission requirements are broken down into cohort specific information. Please refer to the information outlined below for your current cohort.

Overview

Last updated: September 6, 2024

To participate in and complete the experiential curricular components of the PharmD program, students must fulfil a number of immunization and documentation requirements.

Students who fail to comply with immunization and documentation requirements may result in cancellation of co-op placements, patient care rotations, withholding of academic grades and/or denial of academic progression. Any student who requires an accommodation (due to disability, illness or condition) should contact AccessAbility Services as well as the School's Pharmacy Advisor team.

Expenses related to completion of these requirements are the responsibility of the student.

If you have any questions about these requirements, please contact phrexper@uwaterloo.ca.
