TRANSPARENCY & SOURCES

Know where the information comes from.

The library is designed to translate complicated public information into practical checklists. Where possible, claims about eligibility, deadlines, repayment plans, court actions, and applications are linked to official primary sources.

Editorial standards

  • Primary sources first. We prioritize Federal Student Aid, the U.S. Department of Education, federal court-related official notices, and the FTC for subscription or consumer-protection topics.
  • Dates are visible. Each guide should state when it was last reviewed. Dates tied to individual borrowers must be confirmed in their official notices.
  • Not personalized advice. The website does not determine eligibility, calculate a binding payment amount, or tell a visitor that a loan will be forgiven.
  • Distinguish facts from interpretation. Where a rule is complex, the guide says to verify with the official calculator, application, or loan servicer.
  • Update when official pages change. The library should be reviewed regularly and immediately when a primary source announces a material change. No update process can guarantee real-time coverage.
