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	5,906.27 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	6,900 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources	156.20 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	750.20 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity	19,194.77 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	19,367 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	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 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	2,079	1,900
Number of residential employees	53	50
Number of in-patient hospital beds	0	0
Full-time equivalent enrollment	20,214.41	20,458.88
Full-time equivalent of employees	2,462	2,483
Full-time equivalent of distance education students	647	350

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2014	June 30, 2015
Baseline Year	July 1, 2011	June 30, 2012
