Transcript Requirement:

Because PharmCAS keeps all of your transcripts, you are required to submit to us a final, official transcript from all colleges/universities you have attended (including ETSU, if applicable).

Transcripts must reflect all final grades and, if applicable, the degree conferred.

Transcripts must be sent directly from the registrar's office to us. An electronic transcript via Parchment or other service may be sent to pharmacy@etsu.edu.

If mailed, please request they use P.O. Box 70414 to ensure your transcript is not mistakenly sent to ETSU's undergraduate admissions office.

  • Admissions and Records Office
  • Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy
  • East Tennessee State University
  • P.O. Box 70414
  • Johnson City, TN 37614-1704

Note:  For students whose school utilizes the National Student Clearinghouse to send transcripts, the College of Pharmacy does not appear as a departmental option under East Tennessee State University. In this case, you will have to manually enter the college’s name.  To do this:

“Select Not in List” under the Department option
This opens another box for Department
Enter Gatton College of Pharmacy.
