At CAS's most recent Council Meeting, CAS Member-At-Large for Administration, Carol Miller Schaefer, and CAS Council & Association Expert for NACS, Jeff Nelson, announced the release of the new Campus Stores Standards and Self-Assessment Guide.

As part of the Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) suite of Campus Stores Programs resources, this document conveys the set of specific standards and guidelines that apply to this aspect of higher education. Common to all sets of standards developed by and provided for sale from CAS, they include the embedded CAS General Standards. All standards are broken down into 12 vital areas of operations to which those leading the functional area must attend.

Campus Stores (CST) must provide products and services that support students, the institution, the faculty and other constituents, and the campus community, and to create a positive affiliation with the institution that promotes campus spirit, and enhances student engagement, development, and success.

“Soon after our first committee meeting, I could tell that the standards were going to enable an already robust industry within higher education to continue to improve.  I have high confidence that those who use the standards will be better positioned to serve students on their campuses.”

"To say NACS is excited about the release of the CAS Campus Store Standards is an understatement. These standards represent an industry-wide consensus process that involved more than eighty volunteers and will provide a roadmap for success, demystifying the increasingly complex world of collegiate retail and informing campus stores, administrators, and other functional areas."
