The rules for using this site, and important disclaimers about the accuracy and use of the data it presents.
Last updated: August 19, 2026
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of CommonDataSets (this "site"). By accessing or using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
CommonDataSets is an independent project that compiles publicly available university admissions statistics — drawn from official Common Data Set (CDS) submissions and other public sources — into a searchable, comparable format. The site is provided as a convenience for students, families, and researchers, and is not itself an official data provider.
CommonDataSets is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CommonDataSet.org, the Common Data Set initiative, or any of the universities whose data appears on this site. University names, logos, and colors are used solely to identify the institution each dataset refers to; all such marks remain the property of their respective owners.
Data on this site is sourced from official, publicly published Common Data Set submissions and similar public records, and is provided "as is" and "as available." Universities update, correct, and revise their own figures over time, and errors can be introduced when data is extracted or transcribed. We do not guarantee that any figure on this site is current, complete, or error-free. Before relying on any statistic for an admissions, financial, or enrollment decision, verify it directly with the institution's official Common Data Set or admissions office.
Nothing on this site constitutes admissions counseling, financial advice, or legal advice. Comparison tools, rankings, and figures are provided for informational purposes only and should not be the sole basis for any decision about where to apply, enroll, or pay tuition.
You may browse, search, and compare data on this site for personal, non-commercial reference. You agree not to: scrape or bulk-harvest the site's compiled database for republication elsewhere; attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its underlying systems; or use the site in any way that violates applicable law.
The site's design, code, and the particular selection, arrangement, and presentation of data are our work and are protected accordingly. The underlying factual data originates from the reporting institutions and other public sources; we make no ownership claim over facts that are not ours to own.
This site displays advertising served by Google, and may link to external university or third-party websites for convenience. We don't control, and aren't responsible for, the content, accuracy, or practices of advertisers or linked external sites. See our Privacy Policy for details on advertising and analytics.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CommonDataSets and its operator disclaim all warranties, express or implied, regarding the site and its content, and will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or reliance on any data it presents.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time, and may update these Terms & Conditions as the site evolves. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
