    New Canadian-Inclusive Language

This enhancement is automatically available for use by all CASs and participating programs. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact your Account Manager for more information.

With the addition of Canadian-based programs to our CASs, some areas of the application have new text to clarify our questions as a result of language and culture differences. These areas include:

• Updated Language Proficiency question to "What is your First Language?" (previously, "What is your Native Language?")
• Updated DENTPIN question to clarify the US DAT test (previously, DAT test).
• Updated State/Province drop-downs (previously, State drop-downs).
• Updated Colleges and Universities Attended section (previously, Colleges Attended section). Any references to colleges in this section have also been updated to "colleges and universities."
• Updated Transcript Entry section. Any references to colleges in this section have been updated to "colleges and universities."
• New Felony question block that includes "Indictable Offense" language.
• New Misdemeanor question block that includes "Summary Offense" language.

The Language Proficiency enhancement explanation was updated on June 6, 2019.
