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	13,315 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	13,382 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Scope 1 GHG emissions from other sources	405 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	576 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent
Scope 2 GHG emissions from purchased electricity	13,537 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent	9,585 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	1,973	1,925
Number of residential employees	136	124
Number of in-patient hospital beds	0	0
Full-time equivalent enrollment	2,079	2,056
Full-time equivalent of employees	1,064	818
Full-time equivalent of distance education students	0	0

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2013	June 30, 2014
Baseline Year	July 1, 1990	June 30, 1991
