Foundations

Designed for the college around the CE office.

Isolation, access, data handling, and accessibility are part of the architecture—not settings you have to remember.

  • Walled off by institution

    Each college’s records are isolated in the application, every query, and the database itself.

  • Access by role

    Built-in and custom roles. Instructors see only the classes they teach.

  • Student data stays put

    Education records stay out of search indexes, analytics, logs, and email subject lines.

  • Money leaves a trail

    Payments go to your Stripe account. Refunds and reconciliation stay auditable.

  • Accessible by design

    Built and tested toward WCAG 2.1 AA, with keyboard, focus, and reduced-motion support.

  • Durable by default

    Payments, notices, completions, and certificates run as retryable background work.
