Michigan Pharmacy Schools Grade Alternative Policies
Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory and Credit/No Credit Policies for Michigan Pharmacy
Schools:
Acceptance of Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory (S/NS) and Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) by
Michigan Pharmacy schools in place of numerical grades are listed below.
While a professional health program may accept prerequisite courses graded in the binary S/NS or CR/NC system, they may still request that you report your numerical grades for those courses when applying to their programs. It is important that you check the policies of each program that you plan to apply to.
Need to check grade alternative policies with out-of-state schools? Download this email template for contacting out-of-state professional schools.
**THIS WEBSITE IS A GUIDE ONLY**
Students must consult with their pre-health advisor AND the appropriate pharmacy programs on a regular basis for revisions to prerequisites and to ensure completion of all application requirements.
Contact individual schools if you have Advanced Placement (AP) credit for prerequisite requirements.
Each professional school has their own policy on whether they accept credit from AP and community colleges. Students must contact the individual school themselves to determine the requirements for course planning.
