The Centralized Application Service for Social Work (SocialWorkCAS) simplifies the process of applying to social work programs. You start by selecting the programs you wish to apply to, then you submit one application that includes all necessary materials. Once received by SocialWorkCAS, your application and materials go through a verification process before being transmitted to all of your selected programs.
Start your 2023-2024 application.
It's important you apply as early as possible since completing your application can be a lengthy process, and since application processing times vary throughout the cycle. Below is a suggested timeline that includes key actions to keep the application process on track. This timeline may need to be adjusted based on your programs' deadlines and requirements.

Verifications occur in chronological order and can take up to 10 business days to complete. Once your application is verified, you will receive a notification and your application's status will change to Verified. |
