Please note that assured reports are still subject to review by AASHE staff prior to publication, which may require additional revisions. AASHE reserves the right to withhold points for this credit if it is determined that the assurance process was clearly unsuccessful in identifying and resolving inconsistencies or errors (e.g., when AASHE staff identify a significant number of issues that were either not mentioned in the completed review template or not resolved successfully).

Has the institution completed an assurance process that provides independent affirmation that the information in its current STARS report is reported in accordance with credit criteria?:

Did the assurance process include internal review, an external audit, or both?:
Both internal review and an external audit

The name, title, and organizational affiliation of each reviewer:

Chad Worth, Energy and Sustainability Manager, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
Maya Sandhofer, AmericCorps Volunteer Infrastructure Program Fellow, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
Krisha Pedraza, Sustainability Student Assistant, Cal State San Marcos

A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
Krisha Pedraza did a first internal review. Then Cal Poly staff reviewed our credits two times. Both our student assistant and Cal Poly used the STARS review template provided to review our credits. We then went back and forth on a number of credits and CSUSM corrected a number of areas that either were required or suggested for change. Ultimately this process was helpful for CSUSM and allowed us to clarify a number of credits.
