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:
All reported data was reviewed by 2 staff members in the Sustainability Institute who were not directly involved in the data collection process for the credits they reviewed. Jade Chalkley reviewed all credits except for EN1 and EN7 that were reviewed by Dr. Leach. Both reviewers used the review template, reviewed all the credits that UNH is pursuing, and documented in the template the issues that they identified across all required reporting fields, attachments, inventories, and included URLs to confirm that the reported information met credit criteria and is consistent with required timeframes and that reported figures are consistent across credits. The STARS team updated the data in response to comments from reviewers.
