Release 8 – August 18, 2019

    Multiple Deadlines per Program

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 your Account Manager for more information or to enable this feature.

When applicants select a program and answer a program-specific or Extended Profile question, their deadline date can update based on the program’s configurations. If an applicant selects an answer that offers multiple deadlines, then the deadline that the program selected as highest priority displays. If an applicant’s answer is linked to only expired programs, the applicant receives a warning message, advising them to select an alternate program or to contact their program.

    New Question Rules Link

This enhancement is automatically available for use by all CASs that use Question Rules and their participating programs. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact your Account Manager for more information.

If a CAS activates the Question Rules feature, you can access and create Question Rules by clicking Rules Builder under Settings in the Program Editor page. You can also use a filter to view all rules belonging to each rule type (e.g., Question Visibility, Conditional Answer Options, etc.).

    Configure Multiple Deadlines per Program

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 your Account Manager for more information or to enable this feature.

You can use the Change Deadline Question Rule to create multiple deadlines per program and display the correct deadline based on an applicant’s answer to a program-specific or Extended Profile question (if available in the CAS). This allows you to create fewer programs in the Configuration Portal while still giving you the flexibility to establish different deadline dates. For example, one program can be created with different deadlines based on an applicant’s answer to a citizenship or military status question.

If an applicant selects an answer that offers multiple deadlines, then the deadline that you select as highest priority displays.
