Frequently Asked Questions

What are coupon codes?

Coupon codes are application fee discounts you can use to incentivize applicants to apply. If your institution uses this program, it will purchase coupon codes from Liaison and provide them to selected applicants.

Are coupon codes different than fee waivers?

Yes, coupon codes are different from the fee waiver program funded by CAPCSD. CAPCSD funds $25,000 a year to waive the initial application fee for applicants who meet the criteria of earning less than 200% of the federal poverty level or who participate in the McNair Scholars program. Applicants can request and use both coupon codes and fee waivers.

What is the process for payment between Liaison and institutions?

CSDCAS admissions users can purchase coupon codes via the CSDCAS Coupon Code Gateway. First, enter your contact information and select the number of codes you want to purchase. Then, submit your request and enter your payment information. You can pay via credit card or PayPal.

Once you purchase coupons, you'll receive a receipt and your coupon codes within two business days.

Who can I contact at Liaison with questions about coupon code purchases?

If you have any questions about purchasing coupons, contact the Client Support Specialist team at webadmitsupport@liaisonedu.com.

When will I receive my coupon codes?

You will receive your coupon codes via email within two business days from the date they were requested.

How many coupon codes can I request?

You can request as many coupon codes as you'd like, at any point during the application cycle. We recommend that you purchase in small quantities and request additional codes as needed.

When do coupon codes expire?

All CSDCAS coupon codes requested in the 2024-2025 cycle expire on the cycle close date (July 1, 2025).

Will my institution receive a refund for unused coupon codes?

No, unused or expired coupon codes are non-refundable.

Can unused coupon codes carry forward to a new application cycle?

No, coupon codes are cycle-specific and can only be used in the cycle they were requested in.

Can applicants use coupon codes to apply to another institution?

Yes, depending on the coupon Code Type you request. If you select Code can be used to apply to any CSDCAS school, applicants can use it to apply to any school. If you select Code can only be used to apply to my school, the code will only be valid for that school.

Can an applicant share their coupon code with other applicants?

No, each coupon code is unique and can only be redeemed once. We recommend communicating with applicants that they should not share codes with other applicants. If an applicant does share a code with another applicant, they will not be able to use it themselves.

What information should I give to applicants when providing coupon codes?

When you offer an applicant a coupon code, share the following information with them:

  • Enter the coupon code(s) on the CSDCAS payment page.
  • Use the coupon code before the program's deadline date.
  • Do not share the coupon code with others, as it can only be redeemed once.
  • Apply the coupon code to only the school that offered it, if applicable.

More information is available in the CSDCAS Application Fees and Fee Waivers section of the Applicant Help Center.

Can coupon codes be applied after an applicant submits and pays?

No, coupon codes cannot be redeemed after an application is submitted. No fee refunds can be issued for unused coupon codes.

Note that if the applicant misses your program deadline because they are waiting for your coupon, they must request a deadline extension from you; contact a member of your account team for assistance.

How will my institution know that the intended applicant used the coupon code?

Liaison tracks each coupon code, when it was redeemed, and the applicant who redeemed it. Upon request, a member of your account team can generate a Coupon Code Report that includes all coupon code batches generated within a specific date range.
