Liaison

The Liaison Centralized Application Service (CAS) is a platform allowing graduate and doctoral students to apply to multiple schools and programs simultaneously. Supported by Pitt Digital and used by various admissions offices, the system includes numerous school- and discipline-specific CAS platforms. Each platform contains three major components: WebAdMIT, Outcomes, and the applicant portal. WebAdMIT is used to configure applications (including questions, test scores, and letters of recommendation) and Outcomes is used to manage the application review process.

About This Service

Key Features

• Streamlined Applicant Experience: Applicants can apply to multiple schools/programs without re-entering core information (contact info, bio/demo data, academic history, cover letter/resume).
• Configurable Program Applications: Admission administrators can customize program details, including open/close dates, letters of recommendation, program-specific questions, and transcript collection methods.
• Comprehensive Review Management: Administrators and faculty can review, organize, and manage the entire application review process.
• Reporting and Data Analysis: Ability to generate reports, exports, and data dashboards.
• System Integration: Available APIs allow IT staff to integrate application data with the school's Student Information System (SIS) and CRM.
