Your Pacific PharmD journey
begins today!
Your Pacific experience will be filled with new friendships, exciting traditions, engaging learning and more. But before all of this excitement can begin, make sure you check these items off your list.
Transcripts
You are only required to submit new transcripts of coursework taken outside of Pacific that has not yet been received and recorded on your Inside Pacific transcript. If you are attending summer classes outside of Pacific, you need to arrange for a transcript to be sent as soon as available and no later than August 15. We must have a grade for all prerequisite classes prior to orientation.
Send transcripts to:
University of the Pacific
Office of Admission

If you are having a problem obtaining the transcripts by the date above, please contact the Office of Pre-Pharmacy Programs at prepharmacy@91ciba.com or 209.946.2563.
Pacific requires an official transcript sent from each school you attended by July 1.
Electronic transcripts are preferred and should be sent through Parchment or the National Student Clearinghouse. To determine if your school offers this service through one of these vendors, please check their directories. If your school is not listed, arrange for an official paper transcript to be mailed.
Send transcripts to:

Orientation fee
Advancing Pacific Pre-Pharmacy Students are required to pay the $100 orientation fee within two-weeks of receiving your Advancement confirmation letter and no later than August 1.
The orientation fee is included in the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit. No further payment is needed.
Accessing your Pacific email
Advancing Pacific Pre-Pharmacy students will continue to use their existing Pacific email address.
New students, if you have not already done so, log into your Pacific email. You will first need to register via the Locksmith Account Management Tool and create a unique password. Once this is complete, log in to MyPacific to access your Pacific email. You will need to change your default password before you access your email.
To change your password, log back into the Locksmith Account Management Tool and follow the prompts.

PharmD Orientation
During this mandatory PharmD Orientation, learn about what to expect during the accelerated 3-year PharmD program. Learn about the expectations of a PharmD student and how to navigate the schedule. Meet student leaders who will introduce you to leadership and health care outreach opportunities.
Pharmacy course registration
Online course registration takes place in June. You will be sent registration instructions from the Office of Academic Affairs at least two weeks prior to the date class registration opens. In order to secure your seat, complete your course registration within the timeframe specified in the registration instructions.
White Coat Ceremony
This ceremony, in which PharmD students are “cloaked” with their first white coats, creates an important focus for students entering pharmacy school. The white coat, long worn by health care professionals to set them apart, represents a symbol of trust and professional competence to the public who they serve.
Tuition
Student Accounts will make your first e-bill statement available online after you have registered for your courses. Regardless of registration date, payment in full (or enrollment in a monthly payment plan) is required by August 1. Please contact Student Accounts at 209.946.2517 if you have any questions or need assistance in determining your appropriate payment.
Intern Pharmacist License
Students are required to read the Intern Pharmacist Application and Instructions. If any of the questions asked in the application requiring a mandatory answer are a cause for concern, you must directly contact the California State Board of Pharmacy for guidance.
Students are expected to meet the requirements for intern licensure during the first semester of the curriculum. Please wait for instructions from the Office of Professional Programs in June or July before completing the intern license application and bring it with you to orientation in August.
