Effective for spring 2026 courses, UGA will implement a new centralized platform for end-of-term course evaluations. Information about the system is available on the Office of the Registrar’s website and additional correspondence will be sent once the system is available for use. However, we wanted to provide the key information below in advance to help prepare for the upcoming evaluation period.
