Release of Student Information

The Office of Admissions and Records provides annual notice of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) rights afforded to current students with respect to their educational records. FERPA permits the release of “directory information” about students without the student’s written consent. Directory information routinely appears in student directories and alumni publications and may be freely released. Upon written request by the student, this information will be treated as confidential and released only with the student’s written consent, or as permitted or required by law.

Directory information includes: Student’s name, local address, e-mail address, telephone number, permanent address and/or parents’ names, phone numbers and addresses, major field of study, class year, enrollment status, anticipated degree date, participation in officially recognized University activities, date and place of birth, photograph, degree and awards received, and most recent previous educational institution attended.

Students should be advised that by withholding directory information, University officials are prohibited from releasing any form of information without the student’s consent. This means that inquiries about the status of students who apply for an auto loan, good student discount, apartment lease, employment verification, enrollment verification, loan deferments, etc., will not be verified by University officials unless accompanied by a written release from the student.

A web link containing the form to request that the University withhold directory information is provided below. The form must be signed and submitted to the Office of Admissions and Records in the OUHSC Student Union.

Authorization Form to Release Educational Record Information

The OUHSC Office of Academic Affairs has developed a consent authorization form for this purpose https://admissions.ouhsc.edu/FERPA/Forms

The requesting individual—student or alumnus--is responsible for completing an authorization form and presenting it when requesting a letter of recommendation from any OUHSC faculty or staff. If the requester provides a similar official signed authorization form from another entity then it may be used instead as long as authorization to release the student (or alumni) education record is granted by the alternate form.

Consent for letters of recommendation to contain personally identifiable information from the education record is necessary In order to maintain compliance with FERPA, and protect University faculty and staff. Any member of the faculty or staff who writes a letter of recommendation that includes information obtained from a student or alumnus’ education record should obtain a signed consent to release that information. Personally identifiable information obtained from an education record may include but is not limited to grades, Grade Point Average (GPA), class rank, etc. A copy of the signed authorization should be provided to the Pharmacy Student Affairs office for the student file.

Tuition and Fees

https://financialservices.ouhsc.edu/Departments/Bursars-Office/Tuition-Fees

OKC: 865 Research Parkway, Suite 240
405-271-2433

The billing and collection of student tuition and fees is managed by the Bursar’s Office. Students not receiving adequate financial aid to pay all tuition and fees may make monthly installments during the fall and spring terms. Accounts with an outstanding balance after the initial due date are assessed a 1.5% service charge each month a balance remains on the student account. A hold is placed on the student’s account until payment is made in full. A hold prevents enrollment in future terms and the release of official transcripts. Monthly bills are generated for students with an outstanding balance.

All students with an e-mail account on the Health Sciences Center campus receive their monthly Bursar bill via e-mail. An e-bill is generated each month provided there is activity on their account. Activity includes additional enrollment charges, housing charges, athletic ticket purchases, and parking citations. Students should check their Bursar e-bill each month.

Students not having met their financial obligation to the university prior to the end of the term are assessed a $50.00 late fee. If tuition and fees are being paid by a third party (Army, Navy, etc.), please deliver the appropriate documentation to either of the Bursar Offices on campus as soon as the award is received.

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they are enrolled in the prescribed courses and to pay tuition and fees at the time designated by the Bursar's Office. Details regarding tuition/fee charges and collection are available from the Bursar's Office.

Financial Assistance

OKC: Financial Aid Office
865 Research Parkway, Room 240
405-271-2118

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center seeks to provide students with educational opportunities by administering its financial aid programs in accordance with policies and guidelines typical of most colleges and universities in the United States. The University bases the majority of its awards on demonstrated financial need, the difference between a family's expected contribution and the student's yearly educational expenses (Federal Methodology, via the FAFSA).

More information about financial aid can be found on the OUHSC Web site under “Financial Aid.” A computerized selection process is used to see that the most deserving and most qualified students have first call on sources of aid that have limited resources. Some federal loans, however, have unlimited availability, so all students will be offered sufficient funding to cover expenses.

Students anticipating a June, July, or August entry should apply for aid at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov, preferably in January or February. Applying early allows adequate time to complete processing and ensures monies are on hand by the time classes begin. Those who apply early also receive first consideration for aid programs with limited resources. The Financial Aid Office usually begins mailing award letters in late April, and new students must complete promissory notes and loan entrance counseling before funds can be disbursed. Funds are disbursed one week prior to the official University start date for each semester.

Students must submit an application for financial aid each year. For further information, see https://financialservices.ouhsc.edu/Departments/Student-Financial-Aid or contact the Financial Aid Office at 405/271-2118.

or visit http://students.ouhsc.edu/SHWC.aspx

Each student, at the time of enrollment for each semester, is charged a fee to defray the cost of these services, without regard to the number of hours he or she is enrolled. Most labs, x-ray readings and immunizations are not covered by the health fee. Each student admitted to the University will receive a health form that must be completed prior to enrollment. Student ID and insurance cards must be presented at each visit. Comprehensive health services for all Health Sciences Center campus students are offered OU Physicians Student Health and Wellness Clinic. Those services usually provided by family physicians, including pediatric, medical and gynecological care. X-ray facilities are also available.

Please note: Students are required to have health insurance while attending the HSC Campus to help cover services that may not be provided through the Student Health Service. A student’s health insurance coverage is verified each time he/she presents to the Family Medicine Center for care.

Immunization Requirements

OUHSC students are required to provide proof of the following immunizations prior to starting classes: Tuberculosis Skin Test (PPD Mantoux), MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), Tetanus and Diphtheria (Td), Varicella (Chickenpox), and Hepatitis B Immunization Series.

Health Insurance/Professional Liability Insurance

College of Pharmacy Office of Student Affairs
OKC: 405-271-6598

University of Oklahoma Regent’s Policy requires students enrolled at the Health Sciences Center to have health insurance prior to the start of their academic program and coverage must be maintained as long as the student is enrolled at HSC. As a University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center student, you are required to have personal health insurance. If not compliant students may, at the discretion of their college, be suspended from classes and/or rotations until proof of coverage is provided. In such an event, the student may miss academic or clinical work, classes, or rotations, which may prevent the student from successfully completing a particular class, rotation, academic requirement, or semester.

Each year the HSC Student Association works with University administration to offer a health insurance policy provider that will afford special rates and/or services as a health insurance option for all HSC students and their dependents.

Students should direct questions regarding specific coverage or conditions to the health insurance policy provider. Coverage can be insurance offered by the University of Oklahoma or a plan of the students’ personal choice. All pharmacy students are required to have professional liability insurance. A professional liability fee is assessed each fall semester.

Intern Licenses

The Oklahoma pharmacy act defines a registered intern as “a student having completed fifty (50) college hours of credit with an overall average of not less than C and currently enrolled in good standing in an accredited college of pharmacy, or a graduate of an accredited college of pharmacy not otherwise eligible for registration as a pharmacist.” Interns must register with the Board of Pharmacy and pay a fee of $100. A copy of the Internship Training Guide should be obtained from the Board at the time of registration. The State Board of Pharmacy is responsible for administering the pharmacy internship. The College is responsible for certifying that a student meets the academic requirements for registration. The College will notify the Board when a student is no longer enrolled or the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is below 2.00. Students who are suspended or dismissed must relinquish their pharmacy intern license to the Board of Pharmacy.

Oklahoma law requires 1500 hours of practice experience approved by the Board of Pharmacy in order to sit for the licensure examination. The current Oklahoma pharmacy practice act provides that all required practice experience may be obtained within an approved pharmacy curriculum. Pharmacy laws vary by state and students are referred to each individual board of pharmacy to determine internship requirements for a given jurisdiction.

Interprofessional Education

The College of Pharmacy is committed to facilitating activities and experiences that support Interprofessional Education (IPE). IPE activities are designed to facilitate interaction among students from all health professions programs represented on the Health Sciences Center campus (Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Dentistry, Allied Health, and Public Health). The HSC campus develops and coordinates IPE through the Office of Interdisciplinary/Interprofessional Programs, and faculty and students from the various health professions colleges may join membership on the campus-wide Interprofessional Educators and Practitioners Association.

All students enrolled in the College of Pharmacy are required to participate in IPE throughout their matriculation in the Doctor of Pharmacy degree program:

• P1 Year – Student pharmacists in the P1 year learn the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies through their required participation in the HSC-coordinated ‘All Professions Day’ (APD1 scheduled in the fall semester, and APD2 scheduled in the spring semester).
• P2 Year – Student pharmacists in the P2 year collaborate with second-year medical students and work on a clinical case using an Interprofessional approach in which the med students focus on diagnosing and pharmacy students are responsible for developing the pharmacotherapeutic plan or similar activity.
• P3 Year – Student pharmacists in the P3 year participate in Interprofessional Clinical IPPE (all students receive one assignment from among those below)
  • Good Shepherd Thursday evening clinic (previously EPIC only available to P4 students, but we should move this to a P3 IPPE activity)
  • Good Shepherd continuity clinic (new - proposal to start January 2020, each Friday morning/afternoon – could be scheduled as IPPE)
  • OUCOP Faculty IPPE
• P4 Year – Student pharmacists in the P4 year practice interprofessional experiences within Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE)-based activities

NAPLEX - Pharmacist Licensure

Persons desiring to become registered pharmacists in Oklahoma must pass a state board examination after submitting an application to the Board of Pharmacy. Applicants must affirm that they are of good moral character, are a graduate of an accredited school or college of pharmacy approved by the Board, and have attained 1500 hours of practice experience approved by the Board.

Most states administer the North American Pharmacist Licensing Examination (NAPLEX). A pharmacy degree from the University of Oklahoma enables one to sit for the licensure examination in all fifty states. Requirements vary from state to state and the only reliable way of determining what is required is through the individual state board of pharmacy.

Most states have reciprocity agreements through which individuals licensed in one state may become licensed in another. Additional information on reciprocity may be obtained from the:

National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP)

Mount Prospect, IL 60056;

Tel: 847/391-4406;

Graduation/Commencement

An email from Health Sciences Recruitment and Admissions will be sent out to students eligible for graduation, announcing the availability of the on-line graduation application. Students who will complete degree requirements by the end of the summer session following Spring Commencement may, with permission of the Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs, participate in the Spring Commencement. All students planning to participate in Spring Commencement must wear appropriate academic regalia which is available for purchase/rent. Information regarding regalia rental will be provided during the spring semester. At the Pharmacy Commencement graduates receive the public individual recognition of the Dean. For graduates, this marks the transition from the role of student to that of pharmacist. The ceremony is held in Norman, Oklahoma.

Certification of Enrollment and Graduation

The College of Pharmacy is responsible for certifying to Boards of Pharmacy that students have completed certain academic requirements for registration as interns and pharmacists. The Office of Pharmacy Student Affairs has the forms required by the Oklahoma State Board of Pharmacy. Students must obtain the forms required by other states from the respective boards of pharmacy and submit them to the Office of Pharmacy Student Affairs with adequate time for processing.

Requests for certification of intern status, state board examinations, or other applications should be submitted to the Office of Pharmacy Student Affairs with the applicant's portion completed. The College cannot certify blank or incomplete applications. Requests submitted by mail should include a stamped envelope addressed to the applicant. The College will not be responsible for forwarding applications to outside boards or other agencies.

The application for state board examination requires, in addition to College certification, the official seal of the University and a final official transcript with the pharmacy degree posted. Students should submit a completed application to the Office of Pharmacy Student Affairs by the requested date. Upon completion of the graduation requirements, the College will certify the application and obtain the official University seal from the Office of Admissions and Records. Pharmacy Student Affairs will supply the certified application and the official transcript to the Oklahoma State Board of Pharmacy. Students may need to request more than one transcript and are responsible for determining the number of transcripts needed to meet their future needs.

Students who are planning to apply for state board examinations in other states should ascertain the requirements of the state and obtain the necessary forms no later than the beginning of the final semester of study. The College will process the out-of-state forms as described above but occasionally other states will have an earlier deadline for submission of the applications.

Students should be aware of the fact that state boards of pharmacy adhere to strict procedures and deadlines for the submission of the various applications. Compliance with the above procedures will generally assure that students have the necessary materials in sufficient time to meet usual deadlines. It is, however, the complete responsibility of the student to know and comply with the procedures of boards and other agencies. Students should contact the Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs for questions or other requirements that are not addressed in this section.
