A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:

Alan reviewed our preliminary submission in June 2024. Working with a team of students his office checked all of our entries and the evidence provided.


 


They used the STARS review template and identified several places where links needed to fixed/added and numbers verified or matched with other numbers in the submission. The corrections were made and the second review was seamless without any additional edits or changes required.
