Release 5 – June 6, 2021

New Features and Enhancements

The following enhancements are now available in the CAS API. All enhancements are automatically available to all CASs and participating programs using the CAS API. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. If you have any questions about these features, contact your Account Manager or support

    Transcript Properties added to DIP Manifest and Subscription Path Template

The following transcript-related properties were added as headers in the DIP manifest:

  • transcriptType: the transcript type (i.e., official or unofficial)
  • isAcademicUpdate: a boolean flag that indicates if the transcript was received during an Academic Update period

Additionally, transcriptType is now available as a token in the subscription path template.

For more information, visit the CAS API technical reference page.

    School and Applicant Versions of the Full Application PDF

The CAS API now supports the school and applicant version of the full application PDF via a new optional request parameter, pdfType.

  • School version: contains evaluations (i.e., letters of recommendation, letters of reference) and hides custom questions configured as "hidden.” This is the full application PDF version returned by default. Note that this version is not available for In Progress applications.
  • Applicant version: omits evaluations and displays custom questions configured as "hidden."

For more information, visit the CAS API technical reference page.

    Country Lookups for GET Application APIs

The GET Application APIs include two properties for country-related lookups, with [string] being context-specific:

  • [string]CountryCode (e.g., issueCountryCode or facilityCountryCode)
  • [string]CountryISOCode3 (e.g., issueCountryISOCode3 or facilityCountryISOCode3)

You can use the optional request parameter expand=lookups or expand=all to view properties with non-NULL values. To have all properties return a response even if NULL, you can add the includeNulls=true parameter.

For more information, visit the CAS API technical reference page.
