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	4,021.38 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	3,867.78 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity	211,647.43 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	307,991.08 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	6,213	8,034
Number of residential employees	0	0
Number of in-patient hospital beds	0	0
Full-time equivalent enrollment	22,578	21,835
Full-time equivalent of employees	5,440	5,157
Full-time equivalent of distance education students	1,084	746

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2013	July 31, 2014
Baseline Year	July 1, 2009	July 31, 2010
