Policies and trust
Built for useful choices, with clear boundaries.
Plain-language rules for the service, its community, and the course information it presents.
Terms of Use
What the service may be used for, what it may not be used for, and the limits that apply to course information presented here. Using Linden Study means accepting those limits.
Privacy notice
What information the service handles, how it is used, how long it is kept, and the Boston College account information it never requests. Linden Study holds no BC credential and runs no background seat scraping.
Community guidelines
Contributions describe a course experience, not a person's character. Content that targets, identifies, or endangers an individual is out of bounds, as is anything presented as an official university finding.
Data sources and provenance
Every category of data carries its source, its capture time, and its reuse status. Official quantitative aggregates, catalog metadata, and experimental third-party signals are labelled separately and never merged into one number.
Accessibility and corrections
Accessibility commitments, known limitations, and the route for reporting a barrier. Corrections to course or instructor information follow the same route and name the disputed field.
Linden Study is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Boston College.
Copyright
Claims about material presented on Linden Study should identify the work, the URL, and the basis of the claim. Catalog text and evaluation aggregates remain the property of their sources and are presented with attribution.
