Do the figures reported above cover one, two, or three academic years?:
Three

A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
A University Presidential Task Force on Sustainability requested an official complete course listing from the University Registrar for the reporting period covered. The listing was parsed for review by the department head responsible for the associated courses offerings. The departmental review (SF, SI, or no sustainability content) was completed concurrently by each of the 28 departments at the University over three months. In addition, the Sustainability Committee provided assistance to several departments where reviews were not completed by the review deadline. The completed work represents those collective efforts with all course offerings reviewed.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of offerings or sections

A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of sections offered over the reporting period. For example, if 50 sections of Accounting I were offered over three years, it is reported as 1 course.
