A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:
UFV's assurance process had two phases:
1) Internal quality check
In this phase, staff from UFV's Office of Sustainability conducted a detailed review of the submission to fix any typos, grammatical errors, and data/information inconsistencies. Members of the UFV internal review committee included:
- Jennifer Martel, Sustainability Coordinator
- Parisa Mohammadi, Energy Manager
- Doran Hoge, Director, Energy and Environmental Sustainability
2) External audit
Following step 1, the formal reporting assurance process took place, which involved a review by the staff from Douglas College listed above. The results of that review is captured in the attached STARS Review Template and Statement of Affirmation.
