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).

Internal review

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

A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
Both students were chosen to review sections of the report that they had no part in collecting the data for. The students reviewed both the data gathered in our comprehensive STARS credit tracking system as well as the data that was ultimately input into the STARS reporting system. The reviewers checked for discrepancies between data in our credit tracking system and the data entered into the STARS reporting system. They then compared all data against the credit info pages as well as the "common issues" listed on AASHE's review template. The reviewers noted any issues in the "Notes and Issues" column on our internal credit tracking spreadsheet. When an issue was identified I, Jackie, reviewed those issues and corrected them accordingly. Once the issue had been resolved, I noted the changes and highlighted all columns green to indicate that the assurance process was complete.
