The CAS application can be edited by applicants when the status is In Progress or Undelivered. When the application status is Received, Complete, or Verified, the following behavior is observed for standard question blocks. Note that if a CAS has custom question blocks, the CAS decides whether those question blocks are locked after application submission.

Quadrant 2 - Academic History

If your CAS uses verification, applicants can't make changes to their colleges, degrees, and coursework from the time they submit until their application becomes verified. Once verified, an applicant can:

Add new colleges and degrees.
Edit existing colleges and degrees where attendance is In Progress.
Add new coursework for new colleges and new terms/academic sessions.

If your CAS does not use verification, your CAS will decide whether parts of colleges, degrees, and coursework can be edited after applicants submit their applications. To confirm your CAS’s configurations, contact a member of your account team.
