Does the institution’s GHG emissions inventory include all, some or none of its Scope 3 GHG emissions from the following categories?:

	All, Some, or None
Business travel	None
Commuting	None
Purchased goods and services	None
Capital goods	None

A copy of the most recent GHG emissions inventory:
A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory, including how the institution accounted for each category of Scope 3 emissions reported above:
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:
Documentation to support the internal and/or external verification process:
Does the institution wish to pursue Part 2 and Part 3 of this credit? (reductions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions):
Gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from stationary combustion	---	3,977 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources	---	---
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity	---	1,236 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from other sources	---	725 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Total	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	5,938 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	April 1, 2018	March 31, 2019
Baseline Year	April 1, 2015	March 31, 2016

A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
Figures needed to determine total carbon offsets:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Third-party verified carbon offsets purchased (exclude purchased RECs/GOs)	---	---
Institution-catalyzed carbon offsets generated	---	---
Carbon sequestration due to land that the institution manages specifically for sequestration	---	---
Carbon storage from on-site composting	---	---
Carbon offsets included above for which the emissions reductions have been sold or transferred by the institution	---	---
Net carbon offsets	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

A brief description of the offsets in each category reported above, including vendor, project source, verification program and contract timeframes (as applicable):
Emissions reductions attributable to Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) or Guarantee of Origin (GO) purchases:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Emissions reductions attributable to REC/GO purchases	---	---

A brief description of the purchased RECs/GOs including vendor, project source and verification program:
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	5,938 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Figures needed to determine “Weighted Campus Users”:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Number of students resident on-site	1,121	1,042
Number of employees resident on-site	6	6
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	216	365
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	28,230	26,361
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	1,645	1,661
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	23	23
Weighted campus users	22,886.75	21,626.25

Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Adjusted net Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0.27 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent

Percentage reduction in adjusted net Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions per weighted campus user from baseline:
Gross floor area of building space, performance year:
