A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:

Information that was gathered from campus stakeholders for individual STARS reports was fact-checked with the stakeholders for accuracy once the information was uploaded into report form. Inconsistencies or errors were corrected by the STARS liaison in this way. Next, the STARS review template was used by the STARS liaison in the final reviewing process and questions raised by that final review process were directed to the reviewers as needed.
