To be considered for admission to the B.S.P. program in September 2012, applicants must have completed at least 30 credit units of course work at the university level before April 30, 2012, including the following courses or their equivalents:
Please Note: The requirement for “English” must include English Literature and Composition. A general “academic writing” course is not sufficient.
Prerequisite courses completed more than 10 years ago are not normally considered for credit as part of the admission application and will need to be repeated. As each situation is unique, students can request a review of prerequisite courses they have completed more than 10 years ago by contacting the College directly.
Applicants who have a deficiency in 6 credit units of electives may be considered, only if they have completed 30 credit units and the courses they have taken instead of the electives are included in the Pharmacy program. The deficiency must be completed prior to entry into the second year of the B.S.P. program. [NOTE: This means that applicants must have completed the prerequisites in Biology, Chemistry (both courses) and English (or French or Literature) prior to April 30, 2012, to be considered for admission in 2012.]
Applicants must have a minimum average of 70% to be considered for admission. Acceptance into the B.S.P. program is based on the calculated post-secondary Admission Average (60% of admission decision), the Test of Critical Skills (30%) and the Personal Profile (10%). Currently, 90 candidates are admitted; up to 14 may be non-residents of Saskatchewan (including both out-of-province and international students). A maximum of four Saskatchewan resident spaces are reserved for Saskatchewan Aboriginal students who self-declare and provide proof of their Aboriginal ancestry. One Saskatchewan student may be admitted under special circumstances or for compassionate reasons. Applicants applying for admission under special circumstances or compassionate reasons must provide appropriate documentation for review and these applicants are considered on a case-by-case basis. This position may not be filled every year.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
For those who are not familiar with the University of Saskatchewan, a “6 credit unit” course at the University is generally a course which includes three lecture hours weekly for a full academic year (approximately 26 weeks); such courses may also include additional laboratory or tutorial components. A “3 credit unit” course is one which involves three lecture hours weekly for one term (semester, approximately 13 weeks). Applicants who are concerned about the equivalency of courses taken at other institutions should contact Diane Favreau, Administrative Officer/Academic Advisor at diane.favreau@usask.ca or (306) 966-6335.
Please refer to the documents below for a listing of courses at other Universities/Colleges that are equivalent to our prerequisites. List A refers to the courses for which actual transfer credit for Chemistry 112.3 and 250.3 will be given. List B refers to the courses for which generic Chemistry credit has been awarded, and which the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition will accept for our admission requirements. Note that students who have completed Chemistry courses from either List A or List B are eligible for admission to the pharmacy or nutrition program. However, students with Chemistry credit from List B may not be able to take additional senior Chemistry courses; please consult the College for more information. If you have any other questions about senior level courses or those at universities/colleges not listed in this document, please contact Diane Favreau.
