Admission Process
Health Insurance
Health Insurance is required for all pharmacy students. If you do not already have coverage, health insurance must be obtained from D’Youville. If you have any questions regarding health insurance, please contact Lori Stutzman, Administrative Assistant for the Dean of Student Affairs, at 716-829-8100.
A completed medical exam and immunizations are required to fulfill the admission process to the School of Pharmacy and for introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs). Please use checklist below as a guide when completing your Health Form. If your form is not completed correctly or you are missing immunizations, then your registration will be delayed.
This requirement must be completed prior to matriculation into the P-1 year.
Background Check
A growing number of national healthcare organizations, institutions, and state legislatures require student pharmacists to complete a criminal background check (CBC) at least once during their educational career. Since student pharmacists may be subject to criminal background checks earlier in their educational career due to introductory pharmacy practice experiences (IPPEs) the School of Pharmacy is requiring all students to have the Ceritphi Background Check via PharmCAS completed no later than July 10, 2020 prior to their matriculation into the P-1 year. If you have any questions please about this requirement contact Dr. Michael MacEvoy, Director of Experiential Education at 716-829-7726 or macevoym@dyc.edu.
