A brief description of the time period from which the figures reported above are drawn (i.e. one-year time period or representative sample):
Figures are from 2019-20 fiscal year. Paper reduction campaigns were implemented for several years previous to 2019. On-line publications were promoted, the registrar's office purchased updated software enabling on-line manipulation of course selection, dropping course, course change and fee payments which reduced paper use, brochures for programs were replaced with on-line versions and videos and paper consumption was greatly reduced. The paper purchased in the Fall of the 2019-20 year was FSC paper and represented the needs of the college for that year. COVID-19 resulted in a mid-March shutdown but the majority of paper consumption happens at the beginning of each semester therefor the statistic for the most recent year was used.
