A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
Has the GHG emissions inventory been validated internally by personnel who are independent of the GHG accounting and reporting process and/or verified by an independent, external third party?:
A brief description of the internal and/or external verification process:
Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions::

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Scope 1 GHG emissions from stationary combustion	2,193 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	2,735 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources	119 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	75 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity	4,780 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	4,604 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Scope 2 GHG emissions from other sources	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Figures needed to determine total carbon offsets::

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Institution-catalyzed carbon offsets generated	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Carbon sequestration due to land that the institution manages specifically for sequestration	48 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	48 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Carbon storage from on-site composting	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Third-party verified carbon offsets purchased	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

A brief description of the institution-catalyzed carbon offsets program:
A brief description of the carbon sequestration program and reporting protocol used:
A brief description of the composting and carbon storage program:
A brief description of the purchased carbon offsets, including third party verifier(s) and contract timeframes:
Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”::

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Number of residential students	831	763
Number of residential employees	3	0
Number of in-patient hospital beds	0	0
Full-time equivalent enrollment	1,901	1,787.26
Full-time equivalent of employees	345.88	311.67
Full-time equivalent of distance education students	0	0

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2012	June 30, 2013
Baseline Year	July 1, 2007	June 30, 2008
