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).

A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
The reviewer examined the credits in accordance with STARS' review guidelines and template. The reviewer checked all the credits and she was not directly involved in the data collection process for any credits except this one, PA-4.

Based on comments from the reviewer, staff at the Sustainability Office checked data sources, added or updated information and edited credits to address the reviewer's feedback. Once edits were made, the reviewer re-examined the credits and provided any feedback if needed. This process was repeated until all reviewer feedback was adequately addressed and each credit met its criteria.
