Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit (HECVAT)

Runestone does not provide a HECVAT as it is intended for much larger organizations.

National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA)

We already signed the NDPA in many states! Please check with your state alliance to see if your state already has a signed NDPA.

The NDPA version 2 has been developed by the 28 state Alliances addressing common obligations across the U.S. as well as their specific state needs. Version 2 incorporates feedback from Alliance leaders and Vendor Community Members, and has been reviewed by legal representatives through A4L Community Member Review. It is designed to address common student data privacy concerns and streamline the educational application contracting processes for schools/districts who do not have the legal or fiscal resources and vendors who previously had to sign “one off” contracts with each of the over 13,000 US school districts.
