Campus badges tell students which campuses are rated best and serve their students best. They are worked out every night from the on-campus classes held at your campus and the approved reviews students left on the NSDP website.
The campus badges
| Badge | What it needs (NSDP's standard bars) |
|---|---|
| Top Rated Campus | A rating of 4.5+ from at least 20 reviews of the classes held at your campus. |
| Top Campus in {your city} | First place among the NSDP campuses in your city on a score of rating (60%) and course completion (40%). You need 30+ learners, and at least 2 campuses in the city must qualify. One campus per city holds it. |
| Placement Leader | The campus whose students got the most jobs and internships. Not awarded at the moment, until placements are recorded reliably. |
Your rank in your city
- The Badges page shows your rank among the campuses in your city, as of the last nightly run.
- A campus that holds Top Campus keeps it until another campus is clearly ahead (more than about 10% on the score), so the badge does not swap back and forth between close campuses.
- The rating part uses a fair average: a campus with only a few reviews is counted close to 4 stars until more reviews come in.
FAQ
We are the only NSDP campus in our city. Why no Top Campus badge?
The badge compares campuses, so it needs at least two in the city. Top Rated Campus is open to every campus.
Our badge was removed.
Your figure fell clearly below the bar, another campus moved clearly ahead, or NSDP removed it after a check.
