Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

On-campus and communter residents are not specifically tracked at the university at this time. All data and calculations were made based on the assumptions used in the Clean Air - Cool Planet Carbon Calculator and reported on the ACUPCC webstie's Greenhouse Gas Inventory. These assumptions used the avarage residence hall population and assumed those students to be residential, non-commuter students.
As non-residential part time students were not tracked in the performance year, those students were considered full-time students to avoid skewing data numbers in this report.
