Release 9 – September 26, 2021

    Programs Can Request Foreign Transcripts Separately from Domestic Transcripts

For CASs that offer program-level transcript requirements, this enhancement must be approved by the CAS association or UniCAS client for use in the next cycle. If activated, this enhancement will be available for all participating programs in the next cycle. CAS association and UniCAS clients: contact your Account Manager for more information or to enable this feature.

A new Foreign Transcripts Accepted section has been added to the Configuration Portal as a feature that can be turned on for program-level transcript requirements. This allows you to decide if you want to request foreign transcripts or foreign evaluations and, if so, what type.

You can use the following options when configuring your foreign transcript and evaluation requirements:

• Official Foreign Evaluation (WES, ECE, or other approved vendors)
• Official Foreign Transcript (applicant mails their transcript to Liaison directly)
• Applicant Uploaded Unofficial Foreign Evaluation (applicant uploads evaluation)
• Applicant Uploaded Unofficial Foreign Transcript (applicant uploads transcript)
• Custom Instructions (you provide your own transcript and evaluation instructions to applicants)
• None

See the Configure College Transcripts Settings page for more information and tips.

With this change, applicants will see new options in the Applicant Portal for uploading or sending in their foreign transcripts and evaluations.

Additionally, WebAdMIT now identifies the document type under the Documents panel, Transcripts subpanel.

• If the applicant submits an official electronic foreign evaluation through World Education Service (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), Foreign Evaluation will be listed in the Document column and the service name will be listed in the Source column.
• If the applicant submits an official foreign transcript or paper foreign evaluation, Foreign Transcript will be listed in the Document column and Official will be listed in the Transcript Type column.
• If the applicant uploads a foreign transcript or evaluation in the application, Foreign Transcript and Foreign Evaluation (respectively) will be listed in the Document column and Unofficial will be listed in the Transcript Type column.

Lastly, a new GET Application property, transcripts.isEvaluation, is now available in the CAS API. This property identifies if an applicant's foreign document upload is an unofficial transcript or evaluation.

    New User Interface

We’ve updated Admissions by Liaison with a new interface and user experience. Some of the updates include:

• Navigation panel relocated to the left side, allowing you to navigate the software faster.
• Panels are now collapsible, allowing you a larger workspace to get things done.
• Simplified, searchable Settings menu.
• When you log back in to the software after being timed out, you’re returned to the page where you left off.

    Daily Assignment Summary Email

With this enhancement, reviewers are sent an auto-generated email that indicates their progress in completing their reviews. The email also provides a link to go directly to the pending reviews.

    New Condition Builder

In Admissions by Liaison, there are several areas where you can add conditions to establish what actions the software should take (e.g., making certain fields visible in the Application Summary based on what program an applicant applied to.) Previously, these conditions needed to be added with JavaScript code. With this enhancement, a Condition Builder has been added, allowing you to configure these rules using the user interface. The Condition Builder is available in Application Properties and the Application Summary View Configuration and will be added to Forms and Programs.
