Release 1 – February 2, 2025

New Features and Enhancements

Cross-Portal Enhancements

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.

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

Applicant-reported Duolingo English Test Scores

This enhancement must be approved by the CAS association or UniCAS client for use in the current cycle. If activated, this enhancement is available for all participating programs. CAS association and UniCAS clients: contact a member of your account team for more information or to enable this feature.

Duolingo has established a new English test that is gaining popularity in academia. The test consists of five categories:

  • Overall: the test taker’s ability to use English in a variety of modes and contexts.
  • Literacy: the test taker’s ability to read and write.
  • Comprehension: the test taker’s ability to read and listen.
  • Conversation: the test taker’s ability to listen and speak.
  • Production: the test taker’s ability to write and speak.

With this enhancement, applicants can now self-report their Duolingo scores in the application. This allows you to collect and review these scores with the rest of the applicant’s application, rather than collecting this data separately.

CAS Applicant Portal

Applicants can self-report their Duolingo test scores in the Standardized Tests section.

CAS API

The CAS Application APIs (v1 and v2) now support applicant-reported Duolingo English Test scores under the new JSON node, Reported->DuolingoEnglishTest.

See the CAS API Technical Documentation for more information.

Liaison Outcomes

You can view self-reported Duolingo scores under the Applicant Forms section. This data is also available in Segments and Exports.

WebAdMIT

You can review the applicant's self-reported Duolingo test scores under the Standardized Tests panel, Duolingo subpanel, on the Applicant Details page. This data is also available under the Applicant Reported Duolingo field category in the List Manager, Export Manager, and Scoring.

Coming Soon!

Shared Lookup Table Updates for Spring 2025

March 2025

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. 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.
