Release 10 – November 2, 2025

On-Demand Transfer of Deferred Applicants

This enhancement must be approved by the CAS association or UniCAS client for use in the next cycle. If activated, this enhancement will be available for all participating programs in the next cycle. CAS association and UniCAS clients: contact a member of your account team for more information or to enable this feature.

If available in your CAS, you can transfer deferred applicants from one cycle to the next in WebAdMIT. Deferred applicants are meant to serve as placeholders in the new cycle for reporting purposes, filling seats, etc. Historically, this process was done either through the Transfer Settings process (when you transfer forward other templates such as Local Statuses, email templates, etc.) or through the Liaison-assisted Deferral Process.

Starting in your CAS's next cycle, you can now transfer deferred applicants on demand, separate from these processes. A new Deferrals subpanel is available under the Designations panel, with a Defer to a Future Cycle button to transfer the applicant's data into a future program for your CAS. This enhancement allows you to self-serve with fuller control over your applicant pool and reporting needs.

WebAdMIT

In addition to the new Deferrals subpanel and button, note the following:

• This is only available for applicants who have already submitted to one of your programs.
• Applicants will be placed in a Manual application status in the new cycle in WebAdMIT.
• Only select applicant data will appear in the new cycle in WebAdMIT.

CAS Applicant Portal

If you transfer a deferred applicant, they will have an application created for them in the new cycle. When they log in, they will see your program listed with a Manual application status.

This enhancement was inspired by the Ideas Portal.

Coming Soon: TOEFL Scoring Scale Changes

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

Starting January 21, 2026, ETS's TOEFL exam will have a new 1-6 scoring scale for each section and overall total score. To accommodate this, the following changes will be made:

• CAS Applicant Portal: applicants will be able to report their scores in both the old and new scoring scales in the Standardized Tests section. If available in your CAS, they can continue to send official TOEFL scores to their programs via the CAS TOEFL code.
• WebAdMIT: a new set of TOEFL-related fields for this new scoring scale will be available. You must add these fields to anywhere you may already pull in TOEFL fields (e.g., lists, exports, scoring, etc.).

Important: when you receive official TOEFL scores taken after January 21, 2026, ETS will provide the historical scale equivalent for only the overall total score (i.e., both a 6 (on the new scoring scale) and 120 (on the old scoring scale)). ETS is not providing the historical scale equivalent for any section scores (i.e., you will only get a 4 (on the new scoring scale) for the Reading section). Be sure to review all your templates to accommodate the new scoring scale and capture the data you need.

More information will be shared in future release notes.

New Search Field to Filter Application Fields List

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

• List Manager

Zip Code Added as Scorable Field in Scoring Models

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

You can now include the Permanent Mailing Address Postal Code field within scoring models. This allows you to award additional points to an applicant based on their residence. Note that this field is a string field, and you must build a point table to use it with your scoring model.

Automatically Disable Scheduled SFTP Jobs with Repeated Fails

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