Engagement, not editorial control
Claiming your profile gives your institution a real voice — but not a veto. You can respond to reviews, correct factual data, and enrich your page, yet ratings and reviews remain independent and student-driven. Honest feedback stays put; only content that breaks our guidelines is removed.
That balance is deliberate. Students trust StudyRails because no school can buy its way to a better score — and that same credibility is what makes an engaged, verified presence worth having. Learn more in our rating methodology and approach to trustworthy reviews.

Frequently asked questions
Who can claim an institution profile?
Authorized representatives of an accredited institution — typically staff in admissions, marketing and communications, or institutional research. We verify your role through an official institutional email before granting management access.
Can I change or remove my institution's reviews and ratings?
No. Ratings and reviews are student-driven and stay independent. Claiming your profile lets you respond publicly to reviews and report content that violates our guidelines, but you cannot alter scores or remove honest feedback. This independence is what makes StudyRails trustworthy for students — and credible for you.
How do I correct inaccurate data about my school?
Once verified, you can submit corrections to figures like tuition, programs, deadlines, and contact information. Our team reviews each correction against authoritative sources such as IPEDS and College Scorecard before updating the page.
