The overall campus climate index score is based on the responses to a completed assessment from the LGBT-Friendly Campus Climate Index.

The eight factors are: LGBT Policy Inclusion, LGBT Support & Institutional Commitment, LGBT Student Life, LGBT Academic Life, LGBT Housing, LGBT Campus Safety, LGBT Counseling & Health, and LGBT Recruitment and Retention Efforts. Questions are weighted based on their significance to the overall campus climate as determined by a team of LGBT experts in higher education.
