Release 1 – February 1, 2026

Liaison's suite of portals work together to help you collect and manage applications. The CAS application, also referred to as the CAS Applicant Portal, is the system where applicants find and apply to your programs. You receive these applications in WebAdMIT or Liaison Outcomes, where you perform your review processes. The appearance of your program and your requirements are customized in the CAS Configuration Portal, where you establish the program-specific elements that your applicants will interact with. Additionally, your program may use one or more of the following tools and platforms:

• API: a data integration tool.
• CAS Applicant Gateway: a platform for applicants who have already submitted their CAS application to complete and upload additional materials requested by their programs.
• CAS Liaison Analytics and Othot: advanced analytics solutions and data reporting tools.
• CAS Liaison Letters: a platform for evaluators to submit their letters of recommendation.
• Enrollment Marketing and TargetX: customer relationship management (CRM) systems for student lifecycle management.
• Living Profile: a platform where students can connect their academic pursuits with their career aspirations.
• SlideRoom: a platform for collecting digital portfolios.
• Time2Track: a platform for tracking, verifying, and managing experiences.

TOEFL Scoring Scale Changes

This enhancement will be automatically available for use in the next few weeks by all CASs accepting unofficial and official TOEFL scores. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact a member of your account team for more information.

Starting January 21, 2026, ETS's TOEFL exam has a new 1-6 scoring scale for each section and overall total score. This new scale is more directly aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). To accommodate this, the following changes were made:

• CAS Applicant Portal: applicants can report their scores in both the old and new scoring scales in the Standardized Tests section. If available in your CAS, they can continue to send official TOEFL scores to their programs via the CAS TOEFL code.
• CAS API: the CAS API Application response models (v1 & v2) have been extended with the following two new JSON nodes to support these changes: academicHistory->tests->reported->TOEFL2026 (for applicant-reported tests) and academicHistory->tests->official->TOEFL2026 (for official tests). For more information, including supported properties under each node, see the application response models on the CAS API Swagger page.
• Liaison Analytics: TOEFL scores on the new scale are available in the existing TOEFL dashboards.
• Liaison Outcomes: the updated scoring scale is reflected in the existing TOEFL score table. Because of this, you do not need to update data integrations. You should review any score-based filters to accommodate the new scoring scale.
• WebAdMIT: a new set of TOEFL-related fields for this new scoring scale is available: Applicant Reported TOEFL Banded, Official TOEFL Banded, and Official TOEFL MyBest Banded. You must add these fields to any place you may already pull in TOEFL fields (e.g., lists, exports, scoring, etc.).

If you have data integrations set up for WebAdMIT or the CAS API, you must review and update them to import the new TOEFL scores into your target system. Be sure to review your target system first so you know what adjustments to make. For WebAdMIT, we recommend adding the new TOEFL fields to your exports. For the CAS API, we recommend mapping the new TOEFL score fields.

Important: when you receive official TOEFL scores taken after January 21, 2026, ETS will provide the historical scale equivalent for only the overall total score (i.e., both a 6 (on the new scoring scale) and 120 (on the old scoring scale)). ETS is not providing the historical scale equivalent for any section scores (i.e., you only get a 4 (on the new scoring scale) for the Reading section). Be sure to review all your templates and imports to accommodate the new scoring scale and capture the data you need.

Official MCAT Tests and CAS-Verified GPAs Included in Deferral Process

This enhancement must be approved by the CAS association or UniCAS client for use in the current cycle. If activated, this enhancement is available for all participating programs. CAS association and UniCAS clients: contact a member of your account team for more information or to enable this feature.

For CASs deferring applicants on demand via WebAdMIT, CASs can now choose to carry forward the following applicant data in the transfer process:

• Official MCAT scores
• CAS-verified GPA calculations (e.g., GPAs by academic year, GPAs by course subject, etc.)

This enhancement simplifies the review and data collection process for schools building their matriculation class data. This data will appear in Liaison Analytics and WebAdMIT.
