2016-2017 PTCAS
APPLICATION IS OPEN: The new PTCAS
application is now open to applicants! Customer service is available to answer
applicant questions at ptcasinfo@ptcas.org.
Advisors are encouraged to create a test application account. Go to the
PTCAS website at www.ptcas.org and select
the "Login to Application" button under Quick Links. Use the word
"test" as part of your name, so PTCAS may quickly identify it as a
dummy account (eg, "TestRoss, TestLibby"). Do not submit your test
applications.
NEW PROGRAMS IN PTCAS: PTCAS is pleased to welcome new participating
programs for the 2016-2017 admissions cycle for a total of 209!
See the PTCAS directory for details. Additional
programs are expected to be join in August following candidacy decisions by our
accrediting agency, CAPTE.

NEW TRAFFIC RULES FOR DPT
PROGRAMS AND APPLICANTS: The American
Council of Academic Physical Therapy (ACAPT), a component of APTA, approved a
set of admissions
traffic rules for PT education programs and applicants. The rules are
effective beginning in the 2016-2017 admissions cycle and available to the
public on the ACAPT website. While all DPT programs and applicants are expected
to abide by these rules, APTA and PTCAS cannot comment on or enforce
them. Please contact ACAPT directly with questions about these rules at acapt@apta.org.
DATA FOR 2015-2016 CYCLE: Please login to the 2015-2016 PTCAS Advisor
Portal to access data on your students who designated your institution as
the “primary” college attended and authorized PTCAS to release their
information to advisors. Beginning in late October 2016, advisors with a
2015-2016 account will be able to view the list of designated DPT programs for
their students in the previous cycle and the final admission decision submitted
by each program (if submitted to PTCAS). PTCAS does not yet use Liaison’s
Universal Advisor Portal because we are still on the 2.0 application platform.
Current Users: Go to the PTCAS Advisor Portal
and click the "Forgot Your Password" link to retrieve your account
information. Please make sure your account is active before October, so you may
access the student reports, once available.
New Users: If you do not have a PTCAS Advisor Portal account, go
to the portal
to request an account and allow 1-3 business days for the new account to
be activated.
CAS 3.X PLATFORM IN
2017-2018: PTCAS will
transition to the CAS 3.X application platform in the 2017-2018 admissions
cycles. As a result, some application questions and processes will change for
applicants next year. PTCAS will also not pull any re-applicant data forward
into the new cycle. More information about the implications of the transition
will be shared with advisors in 2017. Please contact me with any questions in
the meantime.
Thank you and best wishes for
the 4th of July weekend!
