University of North Texas Graduate CAS Program User Guide

This guide provides you with documentation, reference guides, and direct links that answer common admissions questions about the University of North Texas Graduate CAS Applicant Portal, Configuration Portal, and Outcomes. It also contains resources that may help you work more efficiently throughout your admissions process. If you have additional questions or need further assistance, please contact a member of your account team.

Cycle Timeframes

Applicant Portal

The Applicant Portal opens in early July and closes in early February. You can view the specific cycle dates, including final processing dates (e.g., last date to request letters of recommendation, etc.), on the University of North Texas Graduate CAS Application Cycle Dates page.

Configuration Portal

Between late April and late May, configurations are entered into the prelaunch environment. The account team and University of North Texas review submitted configurations in May.

Outcomes

You can view new applicants in early August.

Program Participation Requirements

University of North Texas Graduate CAS requires all programs to designate two contacts at your institution who will receive all communication from University of North Texas, including the configuration, application, and Outcomes launch notifications.

Applicant Portal

The first three sections of the University of North Texas Graduate CAS application (i.e., Personal Information, Academic History, and Supporting Information) compose the core application. They contain questions that are commonly asked of applicants across all participating programs, such as an applicant's biographic information, standardized test scores, and experiences. The fourth section of the application is Program Materials, which is customized by you through the Configuration Portal (discussed in the next section).

You can access the University of North Texas Graduate CAS application and University of North Texas Graduate CAS Applicant Help Center to review the applicant experience. You can also create a test application in the Applicant Portal; we recommend creating a new account and adding "test" to your name (e.g., TestJohn TestDoe).

For a general overview of the applicant experience, review the following documents:

You can direct any applicant inquiries related to the application to University of North Texas Graduate CAS Customer Service.

Configuration Portal

Use the Configuration Portal Quick Start Guide to make sure you configure your program(s) efficiently and completely in the prelaunch environment. Be sure to check out your CAS's configuration options and review the best practices found throughout. If any optional sections of the application are required for your program (e.g., experiences, test scores, etc.), you'll want to note this on your program home page.

Once you've configured your program, you'll need to have it approved by the account team and the University of North Texas before it is available to applicants. If your program is reviewed after the cycle launches, University of North Texas will approve it.

Outcomes

Review the Outcomes help center for any questions related to working in Outcomes. 

  • Working with the Dashboard: the Dashboard in Outcomes is the landing page where you arrive after logging in.
  • Navigating the Applications Grid: the Applications section is the central hub for viewing, editing, and processing applications to any of your programs.
