  • 1.  Fall Academic Update Opens December 14th

    Posted 12-13-2018 11:30 AM

    Hello colleagues,

    The 2018-2019 Fall Academic Update (AU) window opens December 14th and runs through February 15th.

    Description of Fall Academic Update

    Applicants can only update their course history ONCE during the Fall AU window. Courses that were originally reported as completed cannot be modified; but new ones may be added.

    Once an applicant e-submits the Fall AU to PharmCAS, the applicant's AU status in WebAdMIT changes from "AU in-progress" to "AU submitted". At this point, the unverified fall or spring courses are listed in WebAdMIT. (GPAs are NOT revised until courses entered during the Fall AU are verified).

    Once the updated transcripts are received and courses are verified during the Fall AU, the applicant's AU status changes to "AU-verified". PharmCAS then updates the applicant's revised course history and updated GPAs in WebAdMIT.

    Important Fall Academic Update Dates
    • December 14, 2018: The Fall Academic Update opens. New courses will not be verified until the Academic Update window is open and the applicant's initial file is verified.
    • February 15, 2019: The Academic Update closes. PharmCAS will not verify new courses entered after this date and will no longer accept Academic Update transcripts.
    Fall Academic Update Status Definitions
    The following statuses appear on WebAdMIT next to any applicant who has begun the Fall Academic Update. (These statuses do not apply to the Spring AU.)
    • AU In Progress - Any applicant that has been verified and has returned to their application and saved at least one new session or updated at least one course during the Academic Update period.
    • AU Received - Any applicant that has submitted new or updated coursework during the Academic Update period.
    • AU Complete - Applicants that have submitted coursework during the Academic Update period and had their updated transcripts arrive at the CAS for verification.
    • AU Verified - Applicants that have had their updated or new coursework verified by the CAS staff.

    Hello Colleagues, 


    I was wondering if anyone uses a CRM/application management system called Slate at your institution?  We've been using Slate as a CRM for about a year now, and we are starting a project to integrate our applications into the software and use it as our primary application management system.  


    If you use Slate in this way, can you please send me a private email?  Our project team would like to connect with other pharmacy schools that use this system.  We would like to pick your brain on a few questions we have.  


    Thanks very much!  


    Jess
