Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.

Many fields in the Applicant Portal contain predefined answer values that applicants can select; for example, the Country and County fields both have predefined answer values. These values are housed in shared "lookup tables." Periodically, we update these tables to include additional response options.

The new lookup table values include updates to Colleges, Majors, AP courses, ISO subdivisions, and High Schools. Note: updates to accreditation lookup tables (College Accreditation Updates, New Accrediting Agencies, and Updated Accrediting Agencies, etc.) are scheduled to occur during the Fall 2024 Lookup Updates.

These lookup table updates impact the following portals, some of which you may use. If you created a "crosswalk" from our portals to your local data in your SIS/CRM, you may need to update this crosswalk for the newly added options. For guidance on the optimal implementation of the new values, review the Shared Lookup Table Updates page.
