Dear CLS Advisor, 

We are pleased to share that notifications have been sent to all applicants (overseas and CLS Spark) to let them know the status of their applications.

• Students who appear as “In evaluation” are semi-finalists. Congratulations! 
• Students who appear as “Not selected” have not advanced to the second round.

All semi-finalists can expect to hear from us again in March. 

The advisor portal has been updated so that you can log in to see the selection status for applicants at your institution: https://ais.americancouncils.org/start 

If you need to reset your password, please use the email address to which this email was sent, which is also copied below.  After you have reset your password, please return to https://ais.americancouncils.org/start and log in with your AIS username (copied below) and updated password. If you have difficulties accessing the advisor portal or locating your username, please contact us.

As a reminder, notifications were sent to the primary email address listed on each student’s application. If you have students who are waiting to hear back, please encourage them to check their spam filters and to wait 24 hours before reaching out to us with questions. Student emails can be directed to cls@americancouncils.org.

Thank you again for all your assistance in supporting students with their applications.

Sincerely, 

Caitlin Ting
Assistant Manager, Outreach and Selection
