Narrative outlining the institutional boundary used to complete this report:

Prescott College's main campus is in Prescott, Arizona, and includes classrooms, labs, dining, and residential living for undergraduate students. As measured in the STARS report, the "footprint" of the campus derives from this group of constituents. However, we are technically a master's institution as the college has robust online graduate programs and awards more master's degrees than undergraduate degrees per year.

Moreover, the college has two field stations/centers. One in Bahía Kino, Mexico (Kino Bay Center for Cultural and Ecological Studies) and the other in Dopoi Center in Dopoi, Kenya. Some remarkable aspects of these centers (for example, engaging students in non-US sustainability perspectives) may be mentioned in the report. Yet, the centers are not included in operational credits like water use or greenhouse gas emissions.

Another note is that on-campus housing is not entirely for Prescott College students. We lease one dorm to another nearby school. This report includes the dorm within the institutional boundary since Prescott College owns the building.
