PharmCAS Changes for the 2017-2018 Admissions Cycle

The PharmCAS (College Application Service) will transition to the 3.X application platform for the 2017-2018 admissions cycle that opens mid-July 2017. Below is information to help prepare for the changes ahead:

1. First Designation Fee Change: The PharmCAS first designation fee is $175 for the 2017-2018 application cycle. Any additional designations will remain at $55. 
2. Re-Applicant Accounts: For the 2017-2018 application cycle, all applicants, including those who previously applied during the 2016-2017 application cycle will need to create a new application and send in all required documents. With the transition to the new technology platform, it was not possible to move data from the previous application.
