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:

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) offers the One Skill Retake, which allows test takers who have recently completed a full IELTS test to retake one of the four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking). This is beneficial if the test taker feels their performance in that particular section wasn't representative of their English ability.
CAS Applicant Portal
If your CAS accepts official IELTS scores, applicants can submit their official One Skill Retake scores to the CAS.
CAS API
The CAS API Application v1 and v2 data models now support IELTS One Skill Retake scores. The existing IELT JSON node has two new properties to capture the One Skill Retake data (osrDateTestTaken and osrTrfNumber) while the existing module property specifies the skill test type (e.g., IELTS Academic One Skill Retake: Writing).
Liaison Outcomes
One Skill Retake scores appear in line with other IELTS scores.
WebAdMIT
The IELTS test score fields have been updated so that each skill has two fields to capture both the original test score and the One Skill Retake score. The first attempt of the test score is listed in the Original Skill field (e.g., Original Listening) while the One Skill Retake score is listed in the Skill field (e.g., Listening).
The test scores for an applicant's first attempt will be listed in both skill fields, and if they submit a One Skill Retake score, then the new score will be listed in the applicable skill field.
If you include official IELTS scores in your lists, exports, and scoring, be sure to review your current configurations and, if necessary, add any of the following new fields so that you can collect both original and One Skill Retake scores:

Shared Lookup Table Updates for Fall 2025 |
September 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. The last date to submit lookup table update requests is June 13, 2025. New lookup table values will appear in the CAS Applicant Portal in September 2025 (subject to change). Visit the Shared Lookup Table Updates page for more information. |
