Release 9 – September 29, 2024

Liaison's suite of portals work together to help you collect and manage applications. The CAS application, also referred to as the CAS 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 CAS 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:

• API: a data integration tool.
• CAS Analytics by Liaison and Othot: advanced analytics solutions and data reporting tools.
• CAS Applicant Gateway: a platform for applicants who have already submitted their CAS application to complete and upload additional materials requested by their programs.
• CAS Liaison Letters: a platform for evaluators to submit their letters of recommendation.
• Enrollment Marketing and TargetX: customer relationship management (CRM) systems for student lifecycle management.
• Living Profile: a platform where students can connect their academic pursuits with their career aspirations.
• SlideRoom: a platform for collecting digital portfolios.
• Time2Track: a platform for tracking, verifying, and managing experiences.

Application Jumpstart Between Cal State Apply and CSU Transfer Planner

This enhancement is automatically available for use by only Cal State Apply in the next cycle. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact a member of your account team for more information.

Liaison offers several applicant-focused products, including:

• CAS Applicant Portal: an intuitive, flexible application service that simplifies the admissions process for higher education degrees.
• CSU Transfer Planner: a system where California Community College students can apply to transfer to one of the 23 California State Universities (CSUs).

Applicants can choose to jumpstart (i.e., prefill) their Cal State Apply application using their CSU Transfer Planner account. This enhancement reduces manual data entry work for the applicant, as they can quickly migrate their demographic information and academic history between Liaison's applicant-focused products.

Cal State Apply (CAS Applicant Portal)

When applicants first create their account for a new application cycle, they have the following options:

• Prefill their CAS application from an existing CSU Transfer Planner account (new behavior).
• Prefill their CAS application using the reapplication process from a previous CAS application (existing behavior).

CSU Transfer Planner

Applicants can also prefill their CAS application from CSU Transfer Planner by clicking the Apply for Fall/Spring button on the CSU Transfer Planner dashboard. This process can be initiated only once per CAS application cycle and the button only appears once a student completes their General Education (GE) requirements for Areas A2 and B4.

Information that is prefilled from a CSU Transfer Planner account includes:

• Any followed programs in CSU Transfer Planner and, if applicable, the Transfer Success Pathway (TSP) enrollment program.
• Personal Information section: gender, language, race summary, parent education level, and military status data.
• Academic History section: colleges attended, degree data, college coursework, standardized tests, and GE subjects for Areas A1, A2, A3, and B4.

WebAdMIT

You will see the following information on the Details button under the Designations panel on the Applicant Details page:

• Transfer Type: if the applicant has a TSP enrollment.
• Transfer Planner Intended Transfer Term: the TSP enrollment start term.
• CCC Start Date: the applicant’s intended transfer term.

All these fields are also available in the List Manager and Export Manager.

Transfer Planner Enhancements

The following enhancements are now available in CSU Transfer Planner Student and Campus (i.e., University and Community College) Portals. If you have any questions about these features, contact a member of your account team or support.

Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.
