Corrections
Found something wrong? Help us fix it.
CampusPin organizes public and institutional college data into one place, and sometimes that data is out of date or incorrect. This page explains how to report an issue, what we do with it, and the principles that keep our corrections honest.

Anything that looks off
- Incorrect tuition, net price, acceptance rate, enrollment, or other institutional figures.
- Outdated admissions requirements, deadlines, contact details, or program listings.
- Broken links, mislabeled locations, or a profile matched to the wrong school.
- Errors in editorial guides, help articles, glossary entries, or answers.
How to submit a correction
The more specific your report, the faster we can verify and fix it. Please include:
The page URL
A direct link to the profile or article where you saw the issue.
The specific claim
The exact figure, sentence, or field that is wrong, quote it if you can.
The correct value
What it should say instead.
A source
Where the correct information comes from (the college’s official page, an IPEDS / Scorecard record, etc.), this lets us verify quickly.
For colleges & universities
Manage your own profile
If you represent an institution, the fastest path to accurate data is to claim your profile. Verified representatives can edit marketing fields directly and request reviewed changes to protected data, and we never require a link back or any payment in exchange for correcting your information.
The principle behind it
Missing data is not negative data
- A missing acceptance rate is not 0%. It means the figure was not available from our sources.
- A missing cost is not free tuition. It means cost data was not available, not that a school charges nothing.
- A missing safety figure is not proof an area is unsafe. When verified local data is unavailable or sources conflict, a rating is withheld and reviewed by a person.

Frequently asked questions
Corrections, answered
- How do I report incorrect information about a college?
- Use the contact form at /contact or email [email protected]. Include the page URL, the specific claim that is wrong, what it should say, and a source we can check. We review every submission and correct verified errors.
- I represent a college. Can I update my own profile?
- Yes. Verified institution representatives can claim their profile and edit specific fields (logo, photography, marketing copy, programs, contact details) and request changes to protected fields through a reviewed process. Start at the claim page, or open a change request from your institution dashboard.
- A field on a profile is blank. Does that mean the college is missing something or scored zero?
- No. A blank or missing field means the data was not available from our sources at the time of the last update, not zero, not free, and not a negative judgment. We deliberately do not convert missing data into negative data. If you can supply the value with a source, we will add it.
- How long does a correction take?
- We review every report and prioritize clear factual errors, especially anything that could mislead a student about cost, admissions, or safety. Timelines vary with the complexity of verification; straightforward, well-sourced corrections are the fastest to apply.
- Do you correct editorial guides and articles too?
- Yes. The same process applies to guides, help articles, and answers. Include the article URL and the specific paragraph or claim. Editorial content is reviewed against its source when corrected.
