Accessibility, privacy, and security status
Student data and FERPA
Course Orbit does not present FERPA as a blanket product certification. Data fields, system locations, roles, subprocessors, retention, deletion, incident contacts, and contract terms require workflow-specific review.
Security boundary
The public-site security overview does not substitute for review of a course-delivery environment. Configuration-specific requirements are confirmed with your institution before launch.
