For this credit, we are following AASHE's COVID-19 guidelines (https://stars.aashe.org/resources-support/help-center/using-the-reporting-tool/stars-reporting-and-covid-19/), as Yale intended to conduct an updated continuing education course inventory for the 2020-2021 academic year, but were unable to due to the pandemic. However, we will conduct this inventory for the 2022-2023 academic year beginning in the fall of 2022. The inventory being reported was conducted within the previous six years (2020), and the methodology is appropriate for STARS v. 2.2.
