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 external third-party reviewers from Colorado College Office of Sustainability (CC OOS) completed a first review of the entire STARS report directly coordinating with the STARS Liaison, Konrad Schlarbaum. Feedback and comments were then reviewed by Schlarbaum and returned to the CC OOS team for a second review on the credits that initially needed review from UCCS. Any remaining data errors/inconsistencies were addressed directly between Mae Rohrbach and Schlarbaum prior to the submission of STARS
