FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is CAS Manager?
CAS Manager is web software for teachers and scientists who go through the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS). You record your academic, research, extension and administrative activities, upload the supporting documents, and the software calculates your API score and checks it against the promotion requirements.
What is the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS)?
The Career Advancement Scheme is the process by which a faculty member or scientist moves from one stage or grade to the next on the basis of service completed and an Academic Performance Indicator (API) score earned through teaching, research, extension, administration and professional activities. The exact stages, scores and documents come from your university's own CAS notification.
Is CAS Manager free?
Every new account starts with a free trial of 90 days with full access, and no payment details are needed to start. Current plans are shown on the home page.
What happens when the free trial or plan ends?
Your account becomes read-only. You can still sign in, view everything you recorded and export your reports; you just cannot add or edit records until you renew. Your data is never locked away from you.
How does CAS Manager calculate the API score?
Each activity in the catalogue has its own rule, for example a number of points per lecture, per contact hour or per publication, and often a yearly maximum. When you enter an activity the software applies the rule and the cap automatically, adds the totals per category and per year, and shows how far you are from each requirement. See the guide “How the API score is calculated”.
Which categories and activities are covered?
Category I (teaching, research, extension and technical administration, with a yearly maximum of 125 points in CAS Manager), Category II (co-curricular and professional development activities, yearly maximum 50) and Category III (research and academic contributions such as papers, books, awards and guidance, with no yearly maximum). The full list is in the guide “API score categories explained”.
