Criteria for Inclusion

- The organization produces, disseminates, and/or provides access to education-related information.

- The organization's services and/or products are available to those outside the primary client group of the
organization, for free or for fee (1), remotely or on-site.

- The organization agrees to respond to requests for information sent remotely (e.g., by e-mail, fax, phone,
and/or mail).

- The organization agrees to provide services and/or products to all individuals without regard to race, color,
creed, disability, gender, or sexual orientation.

- The organization agrees to review its EROD entry at least once annually in order to continue to be included in EROD.

(1) ED.gov and other federal government websites comply with a policy of not publishing non-government advertisements. A .gov domain may not be used to advertise for private individuals, firms, or corporations, or imply in any manner that the government endorses or favors any specific commercial product, commodity, or service.

For-profit organizations working in education-related areas in which there is little or no not-for-profit activity will also be considered for inclusion in EROD.

ED reserves the right to deny or remove links if it is determined that a group's web site is primarily commercial in nature (e.g., advertising a product, charging a usage fee, soliciting user information, etc.), if there is any indication of misleading or unsubstantiated claims, or if it is judged by ED to be in conflict with ED's mission.
