How to Apply

Application for Admission

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY JUNE 30, 2025

To enroll in August of 2025, please complete the following application steps:

1. Apply Through PharmCas

The PharmCAS application will be open until June 2, 2025. Visit the PharmCAS website to establish an account and begin an application. Detailed instructions can be found at this site to assist you in completing the PharmCAS application.

2. Provide 2 Recommendation Letters

A minimum of two recommendation letters are required. Recommendation letters should be from professors, academic advisors, or pharmacy professionals, and must be submitted through PharmCAS. A letter of reference is recommended from a pastor, clergy, or spiritual advisor. For applicants who are attending a Seventh-day Adventist institution, a single recommendation letter from the pre-professional committee will fulfill the recommendation letter requirement.

Re-applicants must submit at least one new letter of recommendation. Previously submitted letters of recommendation will be used for the current application cycle.

3. Submit Official Transcripts to PharmCas

Official transcripts for U.S. students must be received by PharmCAS by the published deadline. International transcript evaluations by a LLU School of Pharmacy approved evaluation service must be received by PharmCAS by the published deadline. Refer to the "International Students and Coursework" section below for approved companies.

Submitting Transcripts to LLUSP

If offered an acceptance, you must request official transcripts to be sent to LLU from all post-secondary institutions from which you have attended, regardless of whether or not it applies to your prerequisite coursework. This includes all colleges, universities, military credit, and unaccredited schools. Transcripts must be sent by the issuing institution(s) directly to LLU Admissions Processing. Transcripts provided in any other manner are unofficial and will not be accepted for purposes of admission.

Please request transcripts to be sent to:
