CAS 3+ Upgrade

Liaison is excited to announce that in the 2026-2027 application cycle, all of our Centralized Application Services (CAS) will be upgraded to a new, mobile-first, and modern applicant portal that we call CAS 3+. Key benefits of this upgrade include:

• A mobile-first experience: designed from the ground up to work beautifully on phones and tablets as well as on desktops, giving students full functionality wherever they access CAS from.
• Modern React-based design: faster, smoother, and more reliable user interface built with today's best web technologies.
• Streamlined application workflow: simplified steps, clearer navigation, and a guided pathway to complete applications.
• Accessibility and inclusivity: WCAG 2.2 A/AA-compliant design ensures the platform is usable by all applicants.
• Future-ready platform: built to grow with new features and tools without disrupting the application process.

This upgrade will be automatic for the 2026-2027 application cycle and will only change the CAS Applicant Portal. No changes will be required by participating schools and programs, and all data being transmitted via WebAdMIT, Liaison Outcomes, and the CAS API will remain unchanged.
