    If you have completed coursework or earned a degree from an international institution, you must:
    -Complete a World Education Services (WES) evaluation. Please note that PharmCAS specifically requires WES evaluations, so other evaluation services will unfortunately not be accepted.
    - WES evaluations should be submitted as part of your PharmCAS application alongside all of your official transcripts.
    -If you'd like for us to do any kind of prerequisite evaluation prior to submitting your application, you may also choose to send your WES evaluation to Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science via the AccessWES portal. However, please keep in mind that a fee will be incurred every time you send your WES evaluation to any entity.

    Please contact our office of admissions for any specific questions:  sppsadmissions@ucsd.edu
