CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES REGISTRATION

Controlled Substance Registration requires registration with:

1. The Federal Drug Enforcement Administration
2. The State Board Of Pharmacy
3. Michigan State University

A. Federal Drug Enforcement Administration

Every person that engages in research with Controlled Substances must be registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). There are different activities that require different registration types. Further, one registration type may not cover two different activities, such as research with controlled substances and dispensing of controlled substances. The required forms and detailed instructions are available on the DEA website:
