CAS will soon be starting an email verification process designed to enhance the security and reliability of services, ultimately providing a better customer experience. 

What you need to do:
In the coming months, users with unverified email addresses will be prompted to verify their email upon logging into the product. This prompt will guide them through the simple verification process, which should only take a few minutes. 
Here is a breakdown of the user experience: 
1.    In-Product Prompt: After logging in, users will see an on-screen prompt requesting email verification. 
2.    Verification Email: Users will receive an email from userprofile@cas.org with the subject line "CAS Profile Verification Code." 
3.    Code Entry: Users will need to copy the verification code from the email and paste it into the in-product verification prompt. 
Support:
If users encounter any questions or issues during the verification process, please contact the regional CAS Customer Center for assistance.  

Why is this initiative important?

• Improved Communication: Verified email addresses ensure reliable delivery of critical updates, notifications, and account-related information. 
• Enhanced Account Security: This process safeguards accounts against unauthorized access by maintaining accurate records. 
• Streamlined Support: Verified email addresses enable faster and more efficient support when your users need assistance. 
• Personalized Experience: Accurate contact information allows us to tailor communications and services to better meet their specific needs.
