Terms of Use

Last Updated: October 2026

By using SCEA.org, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Informational Purposes Only

SCEA.org provides general information about early admissions policies, deadlines, and strategy. It is not professional admissions, legal, or financial advice. Admissions policies can change without notice, and while we work to keep our information accurate and current, we do not guarantee that it is complete or error-free. Always confirm deadlines and rules with each university's official admissions website before applying.

No Guarantee of Admission

Using SCEA.org, including the Compatibility Checker and School Directory, does not guarantee admission to any institution. Admissions decisions are made solely by the universities.

No Affiliation

SCEA.org is an independent resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any university or college. University names and logos are used for identification and informational purposes only.

Our Content

The articles, guides, tools, and design of SCEA.org are owned by SCEA.org. You may view, print, and share our pages for personal, non-commercial use, and counselors may share them with students, provided the content is not altered and SCEA.org is credited. Please do not republish or sell our content without permission.

Acceptable Use

Please do not misuse the site, including by attempting to disrupt it, accessing it through automated means at a volume that degrades service, or submitting false information through our forms.

Third-Party Links and Advertising

SCEA.org contains links to university websites and other third-party sites, as well as advertisements and affiliate links. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those sites. See our Earnings & Affiliate Disclaimer and Privacy Policy for details.

SCEA.org is provided "as is." To the fullest extent permitted by law, SCEA.org is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its information, including missed deadlines or admissions outcomes.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated terms.
