Editorial policy

The principles used to write, update and distinguish verified facts from editorial guidance.

Source-first writing

Program facts should be grounded in official university sources. Editorial explanations can help users interpret those facts but must not replace or contradict the source.

Missing tuition, admission, deadline or program-format fields are not filled with invented values.

Updates

High-change fields should be rechecked when a record is materially updated. Program URLs and university entry points are treated as operational data rather than permanent facts.

Commercial separation

Commercial relationships are not accepted as verification evidence. Any future affiliate or advertising relationship must remain separate from the source and quality rules used for directory records.
