The following enhancements are automatically available for the CAS API, and no action is required on the part of any school or program. If you have any questions about these features, contact support.
Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.
If an applicant has multiple alternate IDs, the GET Applications v1 API now groups all of the alternate IDs under the applicant. Previously in this scenario, the API would return multiple nodes (separate application entries) for each alternate ID. This enhancement improves data quality and statistical accuracy.
Please review the list of upcoming events, including scheduled downtime/maintenance, product updates, and regional training opportunities.

Shared Lookup Table Updates for Spring 2025 |
Requests due by November 1, 2024 |
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 data dictionary file. Lookup table change requests can be sent to a member of your account team, who will compile and review these requests. The last date to submit lookup table update requests is November 1, 2024. New lookup table values will appear in the CAS Applicant Portal in March 2025 (subject to change). Visit the Shared Lookup Table Updates page for more information. |
