The Princeton Review is pleased to continue its partnership with the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) to streamline the reporting process for institutions that choose to participate in various higher education sustainability assessments. The intent of this initiative is to reduce and streamline the amount of time campus staff spend tracking sustainability data and completing related surveys.

In 2012, to address this issue our groups worked to establish the Campus Sustainability Data Collector (CSDC). The CSDC was available for all schools (free of charge) who wanted to submit data to all of these groups in one single survey.

For our 2013 collection, the CSDC has been replaced with the launch of STARS 2.0. The new version of STARS offers a basic level of access at no cost to institutions. Simply follow these steps: 1) register for STARS (at the basic or full level of access), 2) report your data in the STARS Reporting Tool, and 3) save a "snapshot" to also share with The Princeton Review.

The Princeton Review will accept data from STARS 1.2 or 2.0. In addition, The Princeton Review will accept data submitted via the STARS Reporting Tool or data submitted directly through our own Review Data Set Form F: Student Life.
