  • Data results are limited to active schedules and institutions who are using VitalSource’s FA technology for program decisions.
  • Status results are based on the most recent decision for the student at the time the data was last received in VitalSource’s data warehouse (data updates approximately every 3 hours from the completion of the last update).
