Liaison’s suite of portals work together to help you collect and manage applications. The CAS application, also referred to as the CAS Applicant Portal, is the system where applicants find and apply to your programs. You receive these applications in WebAdMIT or Liaison Outcomes, where you perform your review processes. The appearance of your program and your requirements are customized in the CAS Configuration Portal, where you establish the program-specific elements that your applicants will interact with. Additionally, your program may use one or more of the following tools and platforms:
Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.
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 a member of your account team for more information or to enable this feature.
When applicants enter their college coursework, they enter many details about each course, including the course name, subject, grade, etc. However, for some CASs, the course term's academic status (i.e., freshman, sophomore, etc.) and course subject (e.g., biology, Spanish, etc.), are not needed in the admissions process. With this enhancement, a simplified version of the College Coursework (i.e., Transcript Entry) section, which does not include these fields, is now available. This helps applicants complete their application more quickly and with less stressful points.
Note that if your CAS uses this feature, then an applicant's coursework will not be verified and CAS GPAs by year or by subject will not be calculated.
CAS Applicant Portal
Applicants can continue entering details of their college coursework, but no longer have to report their term's Academic Status or their course subjects.
In the full application PDF, the Subject column has a dash for each course and the Academic Status no longer appears from each term.
WebAdMIT
The Electronic Transcript panel on the Applicant Details page lists unclassified in the Subject and Level fields.
If you use the Local GPA feature in WebAdMIT, you must select Unclassified under the Academic Year and Subject classifications. Note that all years and subjects still display under the Academic Year and Subject classifications, but any selections within them do not affect the Local GPA.
This release note was updated on May 22, 2024 to specify that you must select unclassified when calculating GPAs in the Local GPA feature.

For some CASs, recommenders can enter a rating for an applicant's competencies using a Likert scale (i.e., 1-5 scale, with 5 equaling excellence). With this enhancement, the Likert scale can be customized so up to four ratings are skipped (e.g., a 1-5 scale with rating 3 not appearing). Additionally, ratings can be non-numerical, such as ranking an applicant's skill level (e.g., rating 1 is an early clerkship student and rating 5 is a full-time resident). This allows CASs to have more flexibility when designing recommendation forms and gathering observations from recommenders.
Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.
This enhancement is automatically available for use by all CASs that collect final decisions. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact your Account Manager for more information.
You can now access the Advisor Documents report that contains final decision data for the 2022-2023 cycle. Only applicants who authorize releasing their data to advisors at their primary college attended are included in this report.
