Why does it matter who my third party service provider is?

According to the Department of Education, a third-party service provider is a vendor, contractor, or other entity that provides services or functions on behalf of an educational institution, such as financial aid processing, enrollment management, technology services, or student housing. These services may be outsourced to third-party providers in order to improve efficiency, reduce costs, or to access specialized expertise. However, educational institutions remain responsible for ensuring that the services provided by these third-party providers are in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies. Additionally, the Department of Education requires institutions to have written agreements in place with third-party service providers to ensure the protection of student data and privacy.
