Write update requests like a reviewer has to verify them
- Name the field that needs to change clearly.
- State the current value and requested value precisely.
- Explain why the change is needed in plain language.
- Reference supporting evidence whenever possible.
Keep the request narrow and factual
Large bundled requests are harder to validate quickly. When possible, separate distinct updates so each one stays easy to review.
Best practice
If a change affects published tuition, admissions, or other protected fields, provide the clearest supporting evidence you can rather than relying on a general explanation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I update every field directly?
No. Some fields are protected and require review in order to preserve data quality and source integrity.
What makes a request slower to review?
Vague descriptions, unclear evidence, and bundled changes that mix unrelated updates usually slow the process down.
