Patriot Connect: Recruitment and Admissions – Action Required for Wave 1.5 Users

Tuesday, May 5, 2026

Dear Colleagues,

In just 30 days, Wave 1.5 of Patriot Connect Release 2: Recruitment and Admissions will launch, enabling Vonage CTI (telephone connection to Patriot Connect), case management, and events management for the system.

Wave 1.5 users, please complete the required actions below to ensure you are ready for go-live on June 5. Users for all other waves, this message is for your awareness only.

  • Ensure “FERPA 101” (required every two years) and “Highly Sensitive Data Custodian” (required annually) trainings are up to date. Access to Patriot Connect will not be granted until both training courses are marked complete in MasonLEAPS.
  • Complete Wave 1.5 Patriot Connect training. Check your “Action Items” in MasonLEAPS to see your assigned Patriot Connect training(s). This includes a self-guided introductory training (no registration required) as well as live, instructor-led training, held May 27-June 15 (advance registration required; see guidance below).
  • Consider optional training. Enroll in the instructor-led course “Interacting with Prospects and Applicants” to learn about communicating with prospective students and tracking interactions in Patriot Connect.

Training Registration

Follow the instructions below to secure your spot for Wave 1.5 training:

  1. Log into MasonLEAPS.
  2. On the Home tab, scroll to Your Action Items.
  3. Click on the green Your Action Items heading to expand the list of all assigned action items.
    1. Note: Please ensure you review all items on the list, which may span multiple pages, to locate assigned Patriot Connect training.
  4. If you have action items for Patriot Connect instructor-led training, select the Select Session button and register for your preferred session date and time.

If you believe you should be included in Wave 1.5 training but were not assigned, please complete the following form for assistance: Patriot Connect: Recruitment and Admissions Training Request.

TargetX Transition Guidance

Wave 1.5 users should continue using TargetX for the full cycle of all pre-existing and in‑progress cases and events. All pre-existing events must be completed in TargetX by August 19. Beginning June 5, all new cases must be created and managed in Patriot Connect and all new events must be created and managed in Patriot Connect Summit Events. This means you will temporarily need to work in both TargetX and Patriot Connect as your events and cases in TargetX wrap-up. Specific guidance on the transition and the final day(s) to access historical data in TargetX will be provided in future communications.

We look forward to sharing Wave 1.5 of Patriot Connect: Recruitment and Admissions with you very soon. To learn more, visit the Patriot Connect program website.

Sincerely,

The Patriot Connect Program Management Team
