CAPCSD Email - Important Notice! CSDCAS Old Instances of WebAdMIT

Subject: Important Notice! CSDCAS Old Instances of WebAdMIT

 

CSDCAS Programs:

In their ongoing efforts to maintain a modern, secure application delivery platform for CSDCAS and WebAdMIT, Liaison will retire the standalone instances of WebAdMIT that were used for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 admissions cycles. These cycles are not accessible from the current webadmit.org URL that you access today. They pre-dated WebAdMIT’s ability to host multiple cycles in the same application and are also running on outdated software versions of WebAdMIT from 5+ years ago. This older software has reached its end of life and cannot be upgraded to meet the current security standards that Liaison takes seriously in their software platform.

These instances of WebAdMIT are currently accessible:
2011-2012 Cycle: https://previous.webadmit.org

Liaison will take these instances offline as of December 31, 2016. The vast majority of schools active in WebAdMIT for these two cycles have long since downloaded and archived their data from those cycles. It is important to note that Liaison will not be deleting any of this data. They will be archived at Liaison and kept as long as needed for future requests – they are just taking down the old WebAdMIT application from those cycles to remove the security risks to their infrastructure.

Please note that the current version of WebAdMIT accessed by schools contains data for the last five admission cycles (including the current one):

2012-2013
2013-2014
2014-2015
2015-2016
2016-2017

Liaison will continue to add cycles to this instance in the coming years.  They have no plans to archive any of these cycles from the currently active version of WebAdMIT that everyone uses. The issues they have encountered are strictly contained to 2010-2011 and 2011-2012, prior to when WebAdMIT was able to host multiple cycles in a single instance.

 Please contact Deborah Ortiz, dortiz@capcsd.org, if you have questions or concerns.
