What will change once we implement the Slate integration?

The Slate integration should be seen as a compliment to AccessWES, not as a replacement. You will continue to use AccessWES to check an evaluation’s status, review any outstanding documents, and receive notifications via email when an evaluation is completed. In addition to the benefits of AccessWES, the Slate integration will upload completed evaluations directly into your Slate system.

How can I check the status of an applicant’s evaluation?

You are able to check the status of an applicant’s evaluation through AccessWES. You are also able to see any outstanding documents WES is waiting to receive before the evaluation can be completed.

Will we still be able to receive notifications when an evaluation is completed?

You will continue to receive email notifications whenever an evaluation is completed.

What happens when a completed evaluation is sent through the integration for an applicant that is not yet in Slate?

If a record for an applicant does not already exist in Slate, the system will create a new one for the incoming evaluation.

How often does the integration pull completed evaluations?

All completed evaluations for the day are uploaded into Slate through the integration each night at 10pm EDT.

What if I need to have access to a completed file right away and don’t want to wait until the integration pulls it into Slate at 10pm?

If you don’t want to wait until 10pm for the file to upload into Slate, you may still download it directly through AccessWES.

If my institution has several different Slate instances, do we need to complete the setup process for each instance?

Yes, you will need to set up each Slate instance, but this process is fairly quick and easy.

What applicant documents do we receive through the integration and AccessWES?

All reports received via AccessWES and the Slate integration include both the WES Evaluation Report, as well as copies of verified transcripts, diplomas, degree certificates, English translations, and any other documents that were used to evaluate the credential(s).
