This article explains how to add or remove universities, manage peer limits, and what to keep in mind when making updates.
🌿 Accessing Your Master Peer List
Navigate to the Lists section in the main menu.
Locate your Master Peer List — it will always be outlined in green.
Click to open it. Here, you’ll see the total number of peers currently on your list.
📝 Your peer limit may vary depending on your subscription agreement.
➕ Adding a New University
If you have available peer slots within your limit:
Use the search bar to find the university you’d like to add.
Click to add it to your Master Peer List.
A pop-up alert will appear, letting you know that once you add a peer, it will be locked in for 365 days.
⚠️ Important: Double-check before confirming, as recently added peers cannot be removed immediately.
Once confirmed, the university (e.g., Harvard University) will be added to your Master Peer List.
➖ Removing an Existing University
For universities that have been on your Master Peer List longer than 365 days:
You’ll see a Remove option next to their name.
Click Remove to free up a peer slot, then optionally add another university.
For newly added peers, the Remove option will be unavailable until the lock-in period has passed.
📈 Increasing Your Peer Limit
If you’d like to increase the number of peers allowed on your Master Peer List:
Reach out to your QS Customer Success representative or QS Sales team.
They can discuss next steps for expanding your peer limit based on your subscription or dataset agreement.
