Ready to Renew?
Spark now has 5 different rating renewal options to receive an updated Spark certificate.
If you have already reached out to request an updated certificate you can also choose any of the 5
options.
Steps to Renew
- Complete a Spark Program Update Report (SPUR)
- Choose option 2, “I would like an updated certificate showing my rating is current”.
- Choose one of the renewal options listed below
- Submit your selected option for rating renewal to qrishelp@wou.edu for review.
- You will receive an updated star rating certificate good for an additional year.
Resubmit your portfolio for a higher rating (There is a 2022 version that may be
easier to complete and show evidence for. If you choose to resubmit and want the updated
version, let us know)
Contact qrishelp@wou.edu if you would like to have the 2023 updated version
Submit a renewal portfolio (a shorter version) with evidence on how
standards are continuing to be met. This is if you wish to remain at the same star level.
Have an on-site observation done on your program and tell us how you addressed one growth opportunity as a result.
