Check Your SocialWorkCAS Notifications and Statuses

Checking Your Notifications

As you progress through the application process, you'll receive important notifications and critical alerts. Applicants are responsible for monitoring these notifications and following up on any required actions. To view your notifications, click View My Notifications on the left side of the application dashboard.

Application Statuses

Applicants are responsible for monitoring the status of an application. Notifications are not sent for any missing items. To help you keep track of your application and all materials, click Check Status at the top of the application dashboard.

Keep in mind that it takes five business days from the date of receipt to post transcripts and official test scores to your application. References are immediately updated once received from your reference.

Your application status may be:

Your application has not yet been submitted or you haven’t paid the application fee.

If your program requires verification, this status indicates that you are missing required documents. If you used the Professional Transcript Entry (PTE) service, remember that you must review and approve your coursework.

All required materials were received; see Completing Your SocialWorkCAS Application for the specific application completion requirements. Depending on your program's requirements, this may be your application's final status (see chart below).

If your program requires verification, this status indicates that your application is ready for that process. It can take up to 10 business days to move to the Verified status.
