Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education Logo
The University of Waterloo has joined the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE).  This enters the University into a growing network of over 700 postsecondary institutions in North America, Europe, and across the world who are each making efforts to build more sustainable campuses.

AASHE provides members with access to shared resources, best practices and toolkits, and a common reporting framework to evaluate campus sustainability progress.  The network also hosts an annual conference for sustainability professionals to share successes and challenges, collaborate, and see new technological, infrastructure, and social innovations to enable sustainable change.

Individual Member Accounts

Anyone at the University of Waterloo can create their own account to access member-only pages on AASHE’s website and receive member discounts.  To create an individual account, go to create member account and complete the user profile using your @uwaterloo.ca email address.  After you receive your password by email, go to the login page, enter your email address (username) and new password, and you will have access to all locked resources. 

Online Resources

AASHE’s online Resource Center includes assessment tools, policy and program databases, best practices, campus profiles, how-to guides, reports, discussion forums, and other resources. Many of these are member-only so you’ll need an individual member account to access them (see above).

Product and Service Discounts

AASHE business and non-profit members offer occasional product and service discounts for AASHE members. To access the list of discount offers, you must have an individual member account (see above).
