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).

Has the institution completed an assurance process that provides independent affirmation that the information in its current STARS report is reported in accordance with credit criteria?:

A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
Data was collected, analysed and entered by staff and faculty at UC, in a process facilitated by UC's Sustainability Office. The content was shared with reviewers from UCAN during late 2019 and early 2020. U-CAN and UC utilized the STARS review template provided by AASHE to guide one or more iterations of revision and/or augmentation as required.
