Other Advising Services
Pre-Health Advising
Advisors from the Pre-Health Advising Office can help you explore career paths in the health professions and ensure that you are on track for professional program admission. They advise students who are interested pursuing careers in medicine, dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, physician’s assistance, etc. Your Pharmaceutical Sciences major advisor can make sure you are on track with basic academic requirements for your professional program of choice, but a Pre-Health Advisor will be able to connect you with numerous additional resources and opportunities.
Other UArizona Academic Advisors
If you are interested in exploring options for a minor or double major, you may meet with an advisor in that program. You can access contact info for all advisors on campus at the Advising Resource Center.
Academic Resources
Undergraduate Academic Catalog
All university policies are outlined in the Academic Catalog. Your advisor can help you navigate the catalog, but you are ultimately responsible for understanding university policies and how they impact your academic career. BSPS students should also be aware of other pharmacy-specific policies and processes.
Calendar of Dates and Deadlines
Almost all academic actions are tied to a specific deadline. If you are interested in dropping a class, registering for the upcoming semester, or applying for graduation, there is a deadline that you need to meet. Check the official UArizona Calendar of Dates & Deadlines to see upcoming deadlines, and talk to your academic advisor with any questions.
Tutoring/Study Groups/Writing Support
The UArizona Think Tank provides free drop-in tutoring, writing assistance, and supplemental instruction for popular UA courses. Use Think Tank Resources early in the semester in order to stay on track with your coursework. These services aren’t just for students who are struggling! The Think Tank can also connect students with fee-based individualized tutoring, exam prep courses, and specialized workshops.
