All applicants are invited to complete the Fall Academic Update period. After your application is initially verified, you can make any necessary updates to your courses (i.e., newly completed or planned/in-progress courses) during the Fall Academic Update period. The coursework entered during this period will be verified and your GPAs will be updated accordingly. You cannot edit courses that you originally reported as complete or add courses completed in prior years.

• December 15, 2026: The Fall Academic Update opens. New courses will not be verified until the Academic Update window is open and your initial file is verified.    
• February 15, 2027: The Academic Update closes.

You will receive a notification within PharmCAS when the Academic Update period opens. It is your responsibility to update your courses during this time period. PharmCAS cannot update your coursework for you. Additionally, if you do not submit your Academic Update by 11:59 PM HT on February 15, 2027, PharmCAS cannot update your GPA calculations.

You must also arrange for your official Summer 2026 and Fall 2026 transcripts to be sent directly to PharmCAS as soon as they are available. If you do not submit your updated courses and transcripts in a timely manner, your selected programs may no longer consider you for admission.

Note that you can only update your coursework once during each Academic Update period.

How to Complete the Fall Academic Update

1. Ensure your application's status is Verified in the CAS Status section at the top of the application dashboard. 
2. Navigate to the Academic History section.
3. Click Transcript Entry.
4. Click the Course(s) button for the school you are updating.

Applicants (including accepted applicants) must enter their spring grades on the PharmCAS application beginning April 15, following the completion of the spring 2027 term. Applicants must enter spring grades before the 2026-2027 cycle and Spring Academic Update period closes on June 30, 2027.

It is your responsibility to add any new courses completed since your application was first submitted to PharmCAS and to edit any in-progress and planned courses. Courses that were originally reported as completed cannot be modified. 

• April 15, 2027: The Spring Academic Update opens. Applicants (including accepted applicants) should update their spring grades as soon as they are available.
• June 30, 2027: The Spring Academic Update window closes. PharmCAS will not accept course updates after this date.

It is your responsibility to update your courses during this time period. PharmCAS cannot update your coursework for you. Additionally, if you do not submit your Academic Update by 11:59 PM HT on June 30, 2027, PharmCAS cannot update your GPA calculations.

Note that you can only update your coursework once during each Academic Update period.

Spring 2027 AU Transcripts

Applicants (including accepted applicants) are instructed to arrange for their official spring 2027 transcripts to be sent directly to PharmCAS as soon as they are available and before the cycle closes on June 30, 2027. If you do not submit your updated courses and transcripts in a timely manner, your selected programs may no longer consider you for admission.

PharmCAS will automatically notify all applicants who are identified as accepted to one or more programs that they should complete the Spring Academic Update (AU) and send their official spring 2027 transcripts to PharmCAS. If a program would like an applicant who is under review or on a wait list to also complete the Spring AU, it is responsible for communicating this requirement to the applicant directly.

Summer 2027 AU Transcripts

Applicants (including accepted applicants) must arrange for summer 2027 transcripts to be sent directly to the pharmacy school (and not to PharmCAS). The PharmCAS 2026-2027 cycle will be closed before summer 2027 transcripts will be available. For your summer 2027 coursework, the program that accepted you will verify your updated course information against your updated transcripts and calculate a new set of GPAs to confirm that you still meet their admissions requirements. PharmCAS does not verify these entries, nor generate new GPAs.
