Overview
This page outlines the process of submitting final official transcripts and AP/IB score reports as part of P1 onboarding. This process is required of all incoming P1s to ensure that, as stated in your offer letter, you successfully complete your bachelor's degree*, all remaining coursework, any outstanding required prerequisite courses, and continue to achieve good grades and meet our school's minimum eligibility criteria for admission. Anyone who will not meet these academic requirements by the first day of P1 Orientation will have their offer of admission rescinded.
* 7-Year BS/PharmD students will not have their bachelor's degree conferral be part of the review as they will receive their BS degrees at the end of their P1 year.
The Academic Update tasks which everyone is required to complete should be completed no later than Monday, June 30th. Anyone who is taking summer courses will have an individually provided deadline based on when their grades are published to submit their final transcripts for those summer courses. If for any reason extensions are needed, please contact sppsadmissions@health.ucsd.edu immediately. Once we have confirmed you've met all of our academic requirements, we will notify you via email.
