University of Medicine and Health Sciences Program User Guide

This guide provides you with documentation, reference guides, and direct links that answer common admissions questions about the University of Medicine and Health Sciences (UMHS) Applicant Portal, Configuration Portal, and WebAdMIT. It also contains resources that may help you work more efficiently throughout your admissions process. If you have additional questions or need further assistance, please contact a member of your account team.

Cycle Timeframes

Applicant Portal

The Applicant Portal is opens in mid-January and closes in late September over a 20-month period. You can view the specific cycle dates, including final processing dates (e.g., last date to submit transcripts, last date to request letters of recommendation, etc.), on the UMHS Application Cycle Dates page.

Configuration Portal

Configurations are entered into the prelaunch environment in early November. The account team and University of Medicine and Health Sciences review submitted configurations in mid-December.

WebAdMIT

You can view new applicants and initiate a transfer settings shortly after the new cycle opens in mid-January.

Program Participation Requirements

University of Medicine and Health Sciences requires all programs to designate two contacts at your institution who will receive all communication from UMHS, including the configuration, application, and WebAdMIT launch notifications.

Applicant Portal

The first three sections of the UMHS application (i.e., Personal Information, Academic History, and Supporting Information) compose the core application. They contain questions that are commonly asked of applicants across all participating programs, such as an applicant's biographic information, standardized test scores, and experiences. The fourth section of the application is Program Materials, which is customized by you through the Configuration Portal (discussed in the next section).

You can access the UMHS application and UMHS Applicant Help Center to review the applicant experience. You can also create a test application in the Applicant Portal; we recommend creating a new account and adding "test" to your name (e.g., TestJohn TestDoe).

For a general overview of the applicant experience, review the following documents:

You can direct any applicant inquiries related to the application to UMHS Customer Service.

Configuration Portal

Use the Configuration Portal Quick Start Guide to make sure you configure your program(s) efficiently and completely in the prelaunch environment. Be sure to check out your CAS's configuration options and review the best practices found throughout. If any optional sections of the application are required for your program (e.g., experiences, test scores, etc.), you'll want to note this on your program home page.

Once you've configured your program, you'll need to have it approved by the account team and University of Medicine and Health Sciences before it is available to applicants. If your program is reviewed after the cycle launches, the University of Medicine and Health Sciences will approve it.

WebAdMIT

Review the WebAdMIT Manual for any questions related to working in WebAdMIT. The Reference Guides and WebAdMIT Training and Support sections are additional resources as you configure WebAdMIT for your needs. Documents commonly requested include:

The Release Notes feature new enhancements in the Applicant Portal, Applicant Gateway, Configuration Portal, Liaison Letters, and WebAdMIT, in addition to upcoming training opportunities.

For any questions, contact the Client Support Specialist Team.
