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:
UIC and Loyola agreed to swap review services.
UIC provided data entry access to their STARS Report.
As groups of credits were completed (3 bulk groups), UIC would inform Loyola and they would conduct their review.
As those credit groups were finished, Loyola would inform UIC of any revisions or improvements they suggested.
Once all credits had been reviewed and updated, Loyola agreed and the review document was published and uploaded to this page.
