For colleges and campus offices =============================== Tillyard. Version 1.2. In effect from October 21, 2026. Fingerprint of this text (SHA-256): b1534bf5708d344ec836fff9e0f58b2f809d30aff09252fe8304df2bbe21a8be This version: https://tillyard.org/policies/for-colleges-and-campus-offices/v/1.2 Once joining opens, students at your college may become members of Tillyard, and your college's name may appear beside theirs. Joining is not open yet, so no student holds an account today. This page is for the offices that are most likely to ask us something: student affairs, conduct, the career centre, the registrar, the international student office, information technology, campus counsel and campus police. It says who we are, how to raise a concern, and what we tell you. - Tillyard is an Ohio nonprofit corporation. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any college or university, including yours. - Your college's name appears on the site as text only because a member confirmed a mailbox at your email domain. We do not use college logos, seals, mascots or colours. - We do not contact colleges about students, we do not confirm enrolment, and we ask you for nothing. - An entry for a student organization is a record kept by its own officers. It is not a chapter of Tillyard, and it does not speak for your college. - If a name, an entry or a page is wrong, or uses your college's name in a way you object to, use the dispute form. You do not need an account. - We do not discuss a member with a college office without the member's consent or valid legal process. Campus police are treated as a law enforcement agency. If this summary and the full text below ever differ, the full text governs. 1. Who we are ============= Tillyard is a website where college students aged 18 or over can work alongside each other in a text-only study room, publish papers in a student publication, work on projects in teams, and keep a record of what they did. It is free to students today. One person runs it day to day. It is not a school, an accreditor, an employer, a placement service or a student organization. Nothing a student does there is a course, an internship or a job, and no credit, certificate or grade is awarded. What Tillyard is sets this out at length. 2. Why your college's name appears ================================== - A member signs up with an email address at a college on our list and confirms it with a code. Our pages then show the college's name beside the member's name, in text only. - That is the whole of the connection. It means that someone could read mail at that address on the day of the check. It does not mean the person is enrolled today, and it does not mean your college knows of us, approves of us or has any arrangement with us. - We do not use any college's logo, seal, mascot, colours or other marks, and we ask members not to. Section 11 of the Trademark and Brand Use Policy governs. - We decide which email domains are on our list. If you would like your college's domain taken off, or you believe an address pattern at your college is given to people who are not students, such as high-school students in a dual-enrolment program, tell us at support@tillyard.org. Section 5 of the Eligibility and Verification Policy says how the list works. 3. Student organizations ======================== A member who is an officer of a real student organization at your college can register an entry for it, and a second officer confirms it. - The entry is a record of that group. It is not a chapter of Tillyard. We do not charter, recognize, fund or supervise student organizations, and an entry does not mean your college recognizes the group. - The officers who register and confirm an entry state that the group is real and that they hold the roles they give. We do not check with your college. - An entry may not use your college's marks, and it may not collect money. - If an entry names a group that does not exist at your college, misdescribes it, or uses a name you object to, use the dispute form (section 6). Section 12 of the Organizations Terms says how disagreements about an entry are settled. 4. What we tell you about a student =================================== - We do not report members to their colleges as a matter of routine. Breaking our rules is not, by itself, something we tell a college about. - We do not send a college the contents of anyone's messages. - If you ask us about a student, we treat the request as we would any request from outside. We point to whatever the student has chosen to make public. For anything else we ask for the student's consent or for valid legal process. A college email address is how a member proves a mailbox. It does not make the college a party to the account. - A rare referral. Our terms keep open, in narrow words, the possibility of telling a college's safety or conduct office about serious misconduct such as a threat to people on its campus. That is our own decision in a rare case. It would carry the member's name, the college and a description of what happened on our site and what we decided, and never the contents of messages. Section 19.9 of the Terms of Use is where members agree to that. - Campus police are a law enforcement agency. They need the same legal process as any other agency. The Law Enforcement and Legal Requests Policy says what each kind of information needs and where to send it. - An emergency. Where we believe in good faith that there is danger of death or serious physical injury to someone, we may tell a law enforcement agency or other government emergency service what relates to that danger. - A public college or university is treated as a government body, which narrows further what the law lets us give it without legal process. 5. Things colleges sometimes ask ================================ - Do you have access to our student records? No. We ask your college for nothing and receive nothing from it. Whatever a student tells us about their studies is their own statement. - Can a student get credit for this? That is your college's decision under its own rules, and we have no part in it. We do not sign credit forms, practicum agreements or learning plans, because we do not supervise what members do. - Is hosting a table, or publishing a paper, work for you? No. It is not employment and it is not an internship. Members are not paid, are assigned nothing and are not supervised. The record page for each item says so. We do not give immigration advice; a student on a visa should ask your international student office before taking part in anything beyond ordinary membership. - Do you recruit through our email lists or on our campus? We do not use campus email lists, and we ask members who host tables not to. - Our honour code may apply to something a student wrote there. Your rules are yours to apply. Members are told that they are responsible for their own college's rules. We do not know those rules and do not apply them. - A student has harmed another student on your site. Either student can report it to us. Whether to bring it to you is the student's own decision, and they can do so with what they wrote and whatever they kept. - We would like to sponsor something, or work with you. A college may sponsor only under a signed agreement and is then named as a sponsor wherever the sponsorship appears. It gets no access to members or to information about them. The Sponsorship and Independence Policy governs. 6. How to raise a concern ========================= - A name, an entry or a page is wrong, or names your college in a way you object to: the dispute form at tillyard.org/dispute. Write from an address at your college and say what your role is. A person looks. A request to remove a name that comes from an address at the named organization, confirmed by a code, hides the name at once while it is reviewed. The Disputes and Corrections Policy, section 5, governs. - Misuse of your college's marks: the same form, or legal@tillyard.org. - A concern about a student's conduct on the site: the public report form at tillyard.org/report. - A concern about a child: the Child Safety Policy says how to reach us and how to report directly to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. - Legal process, a preservation request or an emergency request: legal@tillyard.org, or by post to the address below. See the Law Enforcement and Legal Requests Policy. One person runs Tillyard and reads these messages. We do not promise a reply time, except where a law sets one.
