Release 4 – May 4, 2025

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:

• API: a data integration tool.
• CAS Applicant Gateway: a platform for applicants who have already submitted their CAS application to complete and upload additional materials requested by their programs.
• CAS Liaison Analytics and Othot: advanced analytics solutions and data reporting tools.
• CAS Liaison Letters: a platform for evaluators to submit their letters of recommendation.
• Enrollment Marketing and TargetX: customer relationship management (CRM) systems for student lifecycle management.
• Living Profile: a platform where students can connect their academic pursuits with their career aspirations.
• SlideRoom: a platform for collecting digital portfolios.
• Time2Track: a platform for tracking, verifying, and managing experiences.

IELTS One Skill Retake Test

This enhancement is automatically available for use by all CASs that accept official IELTS scores. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact a member of your account team for more information.

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:

• IELTS Official OSR Test Date
• IELTS Official Original Overall Band Score
• IELTS Official Original Listening Score
• IELTS Official Original Reading Score
• IELTS Official Original Speaking Score
• IELTS Official Original Writing Score
• IELTS Official OSR TRF Number

This enhancement description was updated on May 21, 2025 to list the new fields available in WebAdMIT.

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.
