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 was 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. |
