Trust & Transparency

Corrections Policy

ECCStudy is committed to accuracy. When we make errors — and we will — we correct them quickly, transparently, and without minimisation.

Our Commitment

Educational misinformation can have real consequences for students and families: missed application deadlines, incorrect preparation, wasted fees. We take this responsibility seriously. Accuracy is the foundation of our editorial mission, and corrections are part of maintaining that standard — not an admission of failure.

Types of Corrections

Minor Corrections

Typographical errors, grammatical mistakes, or broken links are corrected without formal notification. The article's "Last Updated" date is updated to reflect the change.

Factual Corrections

If factual information — an exam date, a fee amount, an eligibility requirement, a scholarship amount — was incorrect and has been corrected, we note the correction visibly at the top of the affected article. The note specifies:

What information was incorrect
What the correct information is
When the correction was made

We do not silently overwrite incorrect information. The correction notice remains on the article permanently.

Significant Errors

If an article contained a significant error that may have materially misled readers — for example, a wrong application deadline that could have caused students to miss an exam — we take additional steps:

A prominent correction banner is displayed at the top of the article
If we have a subscriber newsletter, an alert is sent to subscribers who may have acted on the information
The nature of the error is described clearly and without euphemism
