Criteria

Courses that address sustainability include continuing education sustainability courses and continuing education courses that include sustainability. Courses that can be taken for academic credit are not included in this credit. They are covered by the Curriculum subcategory.
Part 2
Institution has at least one sustainability-themed certificate program through its continuing education or extension department.
Degree-granting programs (e.g. programs that confer Baccalaureate, Masters, and Associates degrees) and certificates that are part of academic degree programs are not included in this credit. They are covered in the Curriculum subcategory.
Applicability
This credit applies to institutions that offer continuing education or community education programs.
Scoring
Each part of this credit is scored independently.
Part 1
Institutions earn the maximum of 3 points for Part 1 of this credit when courses that address sustainability comprise 10 or more percent of all continuing education courses offered. Incremental points are awarded based on the percentage of continuing education course offerings that address sustainability. For example, an institution where 5 percent of all continuing education courses offered were sustainability courses would earn 1.5 points (half of the points available for Part 1).
Part 2
Institutions earn 2 points in Part 2 of this credit for having at least one certificate program that meets the criteria outlined above. Partial points are not available for Part 2 of this credit.
See scoring table and example in the STARS Technical Manual.
