The instruction to use CIDR subnets (e.g., 123.45.67.0/24) mean literally to use the .0/24 characters, even if the number you see in your machine’s individual IP address is something outside of that range. Setting this means there is no waiting when using these account credentials with Filezilla or Postman

Deciding to use the CAS API vs. WebAdMIT API

Alex Sims (Mississippi State University) 2 months ago Hey @Wyatt Best (ReWorkflow) (and @Peter Scorcia (Uni of Arizona)), However, as y'all mentioned, there are some things that just do not come in the data from the API--one example that I can think of from VMCAS was the "Academic Update Status". We could see in WebAdmit that a student had been sent back through the coursework verification process and was in an "Academic Update in Progress" status but there was no way of knowing that in Slate because that was not being transferred in any of the HUNDREDS of data points in the files from the API. So, I still set up exports from WebAdmit using the export manager to send a file to Slate every hour to set an Academic Update Status field in Slate to whatever that field was in WebAdmit.For our VMCAS applications, these are being reviewed in Slate but WebAdmit is still kind of being used as like a "system of truth" to find any discrepancies, like the academic update status.We also accept CASPA applications for our Physicians Assistant program. Those applications are reviewed within WebAdmit. Just in the last few months (October 2023, I believe), they decided that they would like those applications to be transferred to Slate. The reason for this is we have data integration between Slate and our SIS (Banner) to transfer applications at the point of admission. But, we don't have such integrations between WebAdmit and Banner. So, once these students were admitted in WebAdmit, someone was having to key those applications into Banner manually. |
