Our Project is part of a Campus.
Can we use the campus(regional) pond located outside our project boundary to achieve the rainwater management points for our project?
The initial pond will be designed and built to meet Option 1 path 2 requirements for our project, the rest of the pond will be designed and built in the future.

Tough to say, as this required the use of "green infrastructure" to mange "on-site" the runoff from the design storm.
Green infrastructure, by definition, manages small drainage areas at the source. The idea is not to convey runoff to a distant location but to treat it where it falls.
I have already heard of this credit being denied for a project that had a central infiltration BMP that managed runoff conveyed from the larger site.
An off-site BMP may be a stretch, and I can not say either way how it will work out for you.
