CSDCAS Configuration
Each spring you have an opportunity to configure your Program Materials section in CSDCAS for the upcoming cycle. The Configuration Portal for CSDCAS 2024-2025 opened on April 8, 2024. The deadline to complete configurations and submit your program for review is June 14, 2024. Completing configurations by this deadline is critical to ensure your program will launch on our opening day of July 15, 2024 and begin to receive applications. If you do not wish to launch by July 15th, your completion of the configuration portals may be completed later. If they are submitted for review after this initial deadline, we recommend submitting them at least 2 weeks before you wish to open to allow for time to review and provide edits.
Steps to Completing Configuration:
- Log into the Configuration Portal in the WebAdMIT Prelaunch site.
- Review and edit your program branding, instructional text, prerequisites, and questions, if applicable.
- Preview your program to make sure that it looks the way you want it to.
- Take it out of Preview mode and then “Submit for Review” by June 14, 2024.
Logging Into Prelaunch:
- Only primary contacts will have access to the Prelaunch configuration portal and will be responsible for completing the configurations. Usernames and passwords are the same as they are for the regular WebAdMIT site. Primary contacts can provide Prelaunch access to others as needed.
- If you have never logged into WebAdMIT before and this is your first WebAdMIT account, you must contact WebAdMIT Support via phone to set up a Prelaunch password. They can be reached Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM EST at 857-304-2020.
Accessing the Configuration Portal from the PreLaunch Environment
- To access the CSDCAS 2024-2025 cycle, make sure you have selected the 24-25 cycle from the drop down menu in the upper right on your dashboard. Once the 24-25 cycle is selected, click "CAS Configuration Portal" from the left-hand navigation.
- If nothing happens when clicking the link, please ensure you have any popup blockers disabled as the configuration portal opens in a new window.
- Remember: the Prelaunch environment can only be used to access the Configuration Portal. Any other activity, such as adding users, setting up local statuses or email templates, etc, will NOT carry over to the live WebAdMIT environment.
Editing Your Program & Submitting Configurations
- Any programs which were live in the 2023-2024 cycle have been rolled over into the 2024-2025 configuration portal and can be edited for the new cycle.
- The available configuration options for CSDCAS include:
- Once your programs are configured, preview and submit your program for review. The CAPCSD/CSDCAS team will review and approve programs after they are set to the “Review” status. This step must be completed for your program to go live in the CSDCAS application.
