As BusinessCAS, EngineeringCAS and GradCAS continue to grow we are introducing new features to provide prospective students with a better user experience. We are also adding features such as apply buttons and printable tabletop posters that you can use on your websites and recruitment materials. Here are some of our recently released features:

  • Applying for scholarships via the CAS (including Liaison’s Breakthrough Scholarships)
  • Creating a CAS apply button with your institution’s branding
  • Access to CAS printable tabletop posters for in-person recruitment events
  • Supporting applicants via our chat feature
  • Better guidance on our CAS login pages for overlapping cycles

Scholarship Applications in CAS

Current users of BusinessCAS, EngineeringCAS, and GradCAS are now able to host their institution’s scholarships through the CAS. As we launch this effort, Liaison International is offering two $2,500 Breakthrough Scholarships, which applicants can apply to through the CAS. Please note that applicants must apply to at least one academic program within the CAS to qualify for the scholarship. Applicants can access directions on applying to the scholarship in both the Applicant Help Center as well as the recently launched CAS application landing page.

You can review the scholarship experience in your CAS two ways. Use your test account to search “scholarship” in the search bar or select it as an Application Type filter. Contact your Account Manager if your institution is interested in offering your scholarship applications in the CAS.

CAS Apply Buttons

You can now insert a branded CAS button on your website to draw attention and site traffic to the CAS application. The button border is customizable to your school colors. Find the embed codes to add the button to your institution and program websites here.

CAS Printable Tabletop Posters & Buttons

Drive applicants to the CAS application during your in-person recruitment events with a downloadable and printable poster and button. The poster and button can fit in any 8 x 11.5 frame or stand. Each poster and button are branded with the CAS logo and website. Print your poster here. Print your button here.

Applicant Chat Support

Applicant accessibility to support services is a priority at Liaison. Recently, to provide support in a form of communication applicants are seeking, Liaison launched a Chat Support Service. As with our email and phone service, the chat service is staffed by trained employees and available Monday to Friday from 9AM to 5PM ET. Applicants can access the chat feature by clicking on the chat icon on the button right from the Applicant Help Center.

Directions on CAS Login Page

New header text and language has been added to the CAS login pages to reduce applicant confusion about application cycles. The updated wording provides better guidance to applicants about selecting the correct application cycle and program. We expect that these directions, along with the application landing pages for BusinessCAS, EngineeringCAS, and GradCAS will help all prospective applicants better navigate the overlapping cycles.
