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).
Did the assurance process include internal review, an external audit, or both?:

A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
We spoke about the internal review at our Sustainability Committee meetings and decided to split the job amongst everyone on the committee. Those that helped with data collection or reporting for each section were barred from reviewing that section. We created a spreadsheet where people could sign up to review each individual credit, and used a shared spreadsheet to fill out the STARS review template.
Hayley, our STARS liaison, then went through the whole template and made necessary changes. Megan then went through and reviewed the whole thing as our second reviewer.
