U-M participates in the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS), a transparent, self-reporting framework managed by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education for colleges and universities to measure their sustainability performance. 

U-M’s current rating is Gold. STARS ratings are valid for three years. Due to issues associated with the pandemic, U-M has decided to delay renewing until the completion of fiscal year 2022. 

The points earned in each category provide an indication of our university’s strengths and areas for continued improvement.
