For the Prospective Student

• Considerations due to COVID-19 pandemic  –
  • Letter grades for courses are preferred when possible. Given the situation with COVID-19, we understand that students may need to submit courses graded on a Pass/No Pass or Credit/No Credit basis.  Students applying via PTCAS are encouraged to comment on any Pass/No Pass courses in the question “Does your academic record accurately reflect your capabilities?”   (Established 4/21/2020 and updated 3/29/2021)
  • In general, we accept online courses. We prefer that any lab course be taken “in person.”  (Established 4/21/2020 and updated 3/29/2021)
