The information belows applies to the 2008 Admission Cycle ONLY. The 2008 Admissions Cycle is now CLOSED.
Planning for the Application Process

If you are a ULM Student, please meet with an advisor in the Student Success Center to plan your semester coursework and application timeline. Be sure to evaluate the application pre-requisites often and pay close attention to the application rules and minimum requirements as your application process begins.

If you are a transfer student from an out-of-state college/university or other Louisiana institution, please note that equivalent courses may or may not be available at your current place of enrollment. For most Louisiana institutions, we have established an equivalency table for the specified pre-requisite coursework. If your current place of enrollment is not found in this table, that means we do not have information available to establish an equivalency at this time. In order to receive equivalent credit at such an institution, you must provide to us via U.S. Mail, the following items:

  1. A cover letter detailing the specific equivalency requested (be sure to include a specific course to course requests, example: I would like to substitute BIOL 223 at USC for BIOL 214 at ULM);
  2. A current academic catalog from your current institution;
  3. From your current institution, class syllabi from the department responsible for the course instruction (a syllabus from each course found in the cover letter must be included).

These materials will be evaluated by the Office of Student and Professional Affairs within the College of Pharmacy. A recommendation will be forwarded to the College's curriculum committee for further evaluation. Confirmation or denial of your request will be sent to you via electronic or U.S. Mail. Submission of a request does not guarantee acceptance of an equivalency.
