I just have a quick question, what made many of you decide to attend a non-ACPE accredited school such as SIU. I would like to note however that: Graduates of a class designated as having Candidate status have the same rights and privileges as those who graduate from a fully accredited program. ACPE conveys its decision to the various boards of pharmacy and makes recommendation in accord with its decisions. It should be noted, however, that decisions concerning eligibility for licensure, by examination or reciprocity, reside with the respective state boards of pharmacy in accordance with their state statutes and administrative rules.
