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:
All STARS criteria is collected and documented by student interns working in the Center for Sustainability. Once a criteria is complete, the Director for the Center of Sustainability reviews it before sending credits out to responsible parties within the university to double-check and then affirm the information. Once the criteria has been approved and confirmed, Staff Associates do their primary reviews. The Director addresses their issues, then uploads credit content to the reporting. Staff Associates conduct their secondary reviews.
