Documents under the Program Materials section are now ordered according to requirements. Required documents are grouped at the top of the Documents tab and then any optional documents grouped underneath. If programs place document types in a certain order, that order is adhered to within the required and optional groupings. Additionally, if programs enter instructions for each document type, those instructions are included with each document type listing.

Many fields in the Applicant Portal contain predefined answer values that applicants can select; for example, the Country and County fields both have predefined answer values. These values are housed in shared “lookup tables” which are viewable in your CAS’s/UniCAS’s Custom Export Layout (CEL) file, available here. Additionally, the Master College Code List has been updated with new colleges; you can download the updated file here. You can review the Shared Lookup Table Updates document for a summary of all changes.

Once the new lookup table values become available to applicants on October 20, 2019, they’re reflected in WebAdMIT in the applicant’s profile, within the application PDF, and in lists and exports. If your school imports these fields directly from our system to yours, these new options will begin appearing in your exports as applicants select them. If you created a “crosswalk” from WebAdMIT data to your local data in your SIS/CRM, you may need to update this crosswalk for the newly added options.
