Yes.

Authenticating via CAS to one application makes it unnecessary for the end user to experience the tedious and inconvenient aspects of authenticating to access another application. The second application, when it redirects the user to CAS for authentication, will by default enjoy an immediate redirect back with a token to authenticate the user.

CAS offers an option for applications to opt out of the single sign on feature while still using CAS for authentication. That is, an application can insist that an end user present primary credentials to CAS for the purpose of authenticating to that application, opting out of CAS accepting a single sign on session token (evidence of having recently presented credentials to CAS) as a basis for issuing a service ticket for the user to authenticate to the application.
