ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBLE PARTIES Katy Campbell Dean Faculty of Extension Christie Schultz Assistant Dean/Academic Faculty of Extension Lars K. Hallström Professor/Political Studies Director of the Alberta Centre for Sustainable Rural Communities The Faculty of Extension is the primary source of continuing education credits at the University of Alberta. Although additional continuing education courses were offered outside the Faculty of Extension, the total number of these courses was not available through the Office of the Registrar, so they were not included in the list of continuing education sustainability courses. Extension courses were counted as sustainability courses if their online descriptions met the STARS criteria for sustainability-focused or sustainability-related courses.
