Sending Transcripts by Mail
- Contact the registrar at each institution you attended and request one transcript be sent to PharmCAS.
- Provide the registrar with the following items:
- PharmCAS Transcript ID Form. Ask the registrar to attach it to your official transcripts. This form is not required, but strongly recommended as it helps ensure your official transcripts are properly matched to your application. If you cannot use this form, make sure the registrar prints "PharmCAS" and your full PharmCAS ID number on the transcript before mailing it.
- Any school-specific forms required by the registrar.
- Any transcript fees required by the registrar.
- All information needed by the registrar to properly identify you in the school's database.
- Any name changes.
- Your PharmCAS ID number.
Your registrar should mail your paper transcripts to the following address:
PharmCAS Transcript Processing Center
PO Box 9109
Watertown, MA 02471
We are not responsible for any materials lost in the mail or delays caused by the Registrar's Office. Express or certified mail does not guarantee faster processing or receipt.
Sending Transcripts Electronically
In rare cases, if your institution cannot submit official transcripts by mail or electronically from Credentials Solutions, Parchment, or National Student Clearinghouse due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we can accept official transcripts sent via email from the Registrar directly. Your institution can contact the Customer Service team for more information.
We cannot accept transcripts sent via email from applicants.
PharmCAS only accepts electronic transcripts from Credentials Solutions, Parchment, and National Student Clearinghouse. If your school does not offer any of these services, your transcript must be sent by mail.
If your school requires that you use a service other than Credentials Solutions, Parchment, or National Student Clearinghouse, you should ask that service to mail the transcripts instead of sending them electronically. Since you cannot include the Transcript ID Form, you should include your full PharmCAS ID number when entering the PharmCAS mailing address.
When using any of these services, select PharmCAS as the recipient. If you can't select PharmCAS and instead are asked for an email address, your transcript must be sent by mail. Do not send your transcript to the PharmCAS customer service email.
Credentials Solutions
Click here to see if your school offers the Credentials Solutions service. If your school is not listed, your transcript must be sent by mail. If your school is listed, click here and follow the instructions to proceed. Once your transcript is requested, it takes up to seven business days for it to post to your application. If your transcript is not posted after this timeframe, contact Credentials Solutions directly to confirm the order was completed, then contact customer service.
Parchment
Click here to see if your school offers the Parchment service. If your school is not listed, your transcript must be sent by mail. Otherwise, follow the instructions to proceed. Once your transcript is requested, it takes up to seven business days for it to post to your application. If your transcript is not posted after this timeframe, contact Parchment directly to confirm the order was completed, then contact customer service.

Click here to begin the process, then complete the following:
- From the menu bar, click Order–Track–Verify > Order a Transcript.
- Enter the school you wish to order a transcript from, then click Continue.

- When selecting the recipient (i.e., Who are you sending your transcript to?), select Educational Organization, Application Service and Scholarships.
- When entering recipient details, select PharmCAS from the Select Organization drop-down, then enter the CAS Transcript ID. This ID is located in the PharmCAS on-screen instructions when ordering electronic transcripts and below the barcode on the Transcript ID Form issued to you by PharmCAS (the barcode is located in the upper right corner of this form). Note that in the Select Organization drop-down, PharmCAS may be listed with an association name, such as in the example below.
Example:

If the Enter CAS Transcript ID field does not appear, then your transcript cannot be sent to PharmCAS electronically.
Once your transcript is requested, it takes up to seven business days for it to post to your application. If your transcript is not posted after this timeframe, contact PharmCAS customer service to confirm the order was completed.
Please note that use of these services does not expedite the processing of transcripts.
