Contact, corrections and takedown

Email hello@opencollegedata.org. For a wrong number, the fastest route is a public correction issue, which colleges and publishers may also use: Suggest a correction.

Colleges

If a figure about your college is wrong, tell us the page, the number and where the right one is (your CDS filing, IPEDS or an official page). We check it against both sources and fix it with the next build, usually within a week. Write from an official address and we will mark the correction as college-confirmed.

Ranking publishers

We show a college's rank as a credited fact with a link to your list, only for the colleges we cover, and we never publish a publisher's complete list. If you would rather not appear, email us and your ranks come down from every page and file within five business days.

Students whose posts are summarised

Summaries are paraphrased and unattributed. If one traces to your post and you want it removed, send the link to the post and we remove the summary within five business days, no questions asked.

Copyright (DMCA) notices

If you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, send a notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to hello@opencollegedata.org (subject "DMCA") or through the takedown form. Include:

  1. the work you say is infringed;
  2. the address of the page or file on this site, and what on it infringes;
  3. your name, address, email and, if you act for someone else, whom you represent;
  4. a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;
  5. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner;
  6. your physical or electronic signature.

We acknowledge within two business days and remove or disable the material within five. The person who posted it may send a counter-notice under § 512(g); if they do, we forward it to you and may restore the material after ten business days unless you tell us you have filed for a court order. We keep a log of notices and end access for repeat infringers. Knowingly false notices carry liability under § 512(f).

Privacy requests

To see or delete anything we hold about you (we hold very little; see Privacy), email the same address.
