Required before submission – The applicant will not be allowed to submit their CAS application until their SlideRoom supplement is completed.
Submit at any time – Applicants must submit a SlideRoom supplement, but they may do so after submitting their CAS application. “Opt Out” will not be available.
Optional – It's highly recommended that the applicant completes a SlideRoom supplement, but they will be able to opt out of this requirement.
