To maintain early entry status, a student must

1. Maintain continuous University enrollment (excluding summer terms) for a minimum of 15 hours per semester during the fall and spring semesters through the spring of the junior year.
   
   
2. Take all required University courses in the general sequence defined in the curriculum and complete requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences degree by the end of their fourth year of college.
   
   
3. Achieve a GPA of 3.5 on required courses the first year, a 3.25 cumulative GPA on all required courses attempted at the end of the second and third years, and a 3.0 cumulative GPA following the remaining years. Students who achieve between a 3.25 and 3.49 on required courses during the freshman year will sacrifice the $1,000 early entry scholarship and will be placed on probationary status for one year. Those achieving less than a 3.25 will be dismissed from the Early Entry Program. For students also enrolled in the Honors College, grades received in Honors 101 and 102 will be treated as required courses in lieu of English 101 and 102. In calculating the GPA for these students, required courses designated as honor courses will provide five quality points for an A (rather than 4 as is typically calculated for non-honors courses); four for a B; and so on.
   
   
4. Receive no D's or F's in required courses.
   
   
5. Obtain a composite PCAT score equal to or exceeding the 50th percentile and a writing score equal to or greater than 3, by the end of the spring semester of the third year. Juniors will also be required to provide resume information and complete the Health Sciences Reasoning Test prior to February 1 of that year.
   
   
6. Students failing to meet or comply with the above will be dismissed from the Early Entry Program and can transfer to pre-pharmacy student status. Students cannot regain early entry status once it is lost.
