Registration for new pharmacist graduates
The staff at the College strive to meet the demands of an ever-increasing volume of registrations. All applications and requests are deemed important and will be processed in the order they are received to remain fair to all candidates.
The following suggestions will help ensure your application is processed in a timely manner:
Applicants (new graduates)
- Use this checklist as a guide to ensure your file is complete before submitting an application to the College.
- Take note of the required format of certain documents and submit those correctly to avoid unnecessary delays. Some documents must be sent directly to the College either by mail or delivered in person.
- Give yourself sufficient time to request items that must be included with your application, such as a criminal record check, insurance policy, and notarization of documents.
- Communicate regularly with your employer or preceptor so they are aware of potential registration delays due to missing items from your application or that you submitted in an incorrect format.

Employers / Preceptors
- Discuss the status of an application with the applicant; the College respects the privacy of each applicant and will only discuss an open file directly with them.
- Review the application checklist with a potential new hire or student to make sure they have submitted all required pieces to the College in the required format.
- Allow for reasonable application processing times when making plans for new hires and setting employment start dates. *Expect some processing time following the release of the PEBC exam results. Successful completion of the PEBC examinations is one of the many requirements for registration and licensure.
- Be an example to the new registrants as they begin their career in pharmacy in New Brunswick, to have a strong and mutually respectful relationship in all dealings with the College.
