A brief description of the methodology used to determine the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings, including the definitions used and the process for reviewing and/or validating the course inventory :
A sustainability course survey was created and Program Coordinators were asked to complete it for each course in each program at Humber. Approximately one third of Humber's courses were completed in the survey. We then reviewed the course inventory done in 2013 and confirmed any courses that were still offered in 2016 and made sure they were included in the survey course list. Finally we reviewed any potential mistakes from the survey (courses that might have mistakenly been included) with Associate Deans to finalize the list. To be included in the inventory, courses had to identified as either: • A sustainability course, or • A course that includes sustainability (as per the STARS definitions)

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of offerings or sections
