A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:

All reported data was reviewed by staff members Jade Chalkley, who was not involved in STARS data collection. She used the AASHE 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 her findings, and she reviewed the updated submissions to ensure they met criteria.
