Website terms

Terms of Use

These terms govern access to The College Pros. By using the site, you agree to use it lawfully and understand its educational role.

Last updated September 1, 2026

Educational information only

The College Pros is not a college, accreditor, lender, broker, financial advisor, or admissions counselor. Content, newsletters, and calculators are general educational tools, not individualized financial, legal, tax, or admissions advice.

No guarantee

College data can be delayed, incomplete, revised, or defined differently from a school’s current publications. We do not guarantee admission, aid, price, graduation, employment, earnings, loan approval, or partner availability. Verify important decisions with the institution and relevant professionals.

Email communications

If you request The College Pros Compass, you agree to receive the confirmed subscription and related college-planning messages at the address you provide. You may unsubscribe at any time. You are responsible for keeping your preferences and address current and should not subscribe someone else without permission.

Responsible use

You may use the site for personal, noncommercial college planning. You may not disrupt the service, bypass security, misuse content, falsely imply our endorsement, or collect site data at scale without written permission.

Intellectual property

The site design, original writing, branding, newsletter, and software are protected by applicable law. Government data remains subject to its source terms. College names and marks belong to their respective owners and are used for identification.

Third-party services

Links may lead to institutions, government resources, email-delivery providers, or commercial partners. Their services, terms, decisions, and security are independent of us. A link is not an endorsement unless explicitly stated.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site is provided “as is” and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of or reliance on the site.

Changes and availability

We may improve, suspend, or discontinue features and update these terms. Material changes will be posted with a revised date.
