Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

What are the popular events and traditions at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences?

Professional milestones are a meaningful part of ACPHS's campus calendar. A white coat ceremony marks entry into a stage of professional preparation for participating students; commencement recognizes the completion of degrees.

These events have different purposes from routine student activities: one emphasizes professional responsibilities, while the other celebrates academic completion with graduates and their guests. Applicants hoping to attend a particular ceremony should check which program and class it covers, because professional and undergraduate milestones do not necessarily occur at the same point in a degree.

What are the student housing and dining options at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences?

ACPHS offers college-operated, coeducational undergraduate housing. Living on campus is an available option, not a reason to assume a room is guaranteed for every applicant or every year of study.

Housing and meal arrangements should be compared together. Students should review current residence options, eligibility, application dates, meal-plan requirements and dining hours before signing a housing agreement. A commuter or a student with off-campus clinical commitments may use campus dining differently from a resident. Applicants should also check the current housing agreement for internet service and other included amenities rather than assuming that all residence options have the same features.
