Liaison’s suite of portals work together to help you collect and manage applications. The CAS application, also referred to as the 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 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:
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:
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.
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.
Please review the list of new reference guides, all accessible in the WebAdMIT Help Center.
