Terms of use

These terms govern your use of the DegreeMapper website. By accessing the site you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Editorial nature of the site

DegreeMapper publishes an editorial directory of community colleges and transfer pathways. We are not a college, a university, an admissions office, a financial aid office, or an agent of any educational institution. Listing a college or program on this site does not constitute a recommendation, an endorsement, or any kind of guarantee of admission, transfer credit, or financial aid. Use of the site does not create any advisory, fiduciary, or enrollment relationship between you and DegreeMapper.

Accuracy

We make a good-faith effort to publish accurate, current information drawn from public federal IPEDS records, state community college system disclosures, and institutional websites. Tuition, transfer rates, and articulation agreements change every academic year and may be inaccurate at any moment in time. You are responsible for verifying any information that affects an enrollment, financial, or transfer decision directly with the institutions involved.

Acceptable use

You may read, link to, and quote brief excerpts of pages on this site for personal, educational, or journalistic purposes with attribution. You may not scrape, mass-download, mirror, redistribute substantial portions of the site, or use the site or its contents to train commercial machine-learning models without prior written permission. Automated access that imposes an unreasonable load on our servers is prohibited.

Third-party content and links

The site links to college and university websites, government data sources, and other third-party resources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, DegreeMapper, its operators, and its contributors will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the site or its contents — including, without limitation, decisions about enrollment, financial aid, transfer credit, or career planning made in reliance on information published here.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page with the effective date. Continued use of the site after a change indicates acceptance.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and, where applicable, the state in which the site operator is located, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

Effective date: July 2, 2026.
