Try Out The New Version of UGA Key

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

We’ve let some people take a look at what we are calling the “Beta Key” and now we want to invite everyone.  We have developed a new frontend for UGA Key that integrates a collection of course syllabi. You can get to the syllabi (if available for that course section) from the far right column.

You can now search for specific professors across all departments, and you can sort data now by clicking the column titles at the top. You can also limit your searches with the drop-down boxes below some of the column titles. To clear all your sorts and limits, hit the X link at the top left of the grade table.

To try out the Beta Key, go to http://beta.ugakey.com.  If you have any problems, get in touch with us and include plenty of details.

We are looking forward to rolling this update out sometime soon!

Site Problems

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

The maintainer of UGA Key News (Chris) recently noticed that links to some of the pages on here.  Namely, the contact page might have been difficult to get to.  The problems are now fixed.  Enjoy!

UGA Key Utilized Half a Million Times

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

We put this little news item on the homepage and on the history page already, but we recently realized we have passed half a million pageviews since UGA Key opened it’s doors.  In just over a year (a year and 11 days, actually), UGA students have used UGA Key over half a million times.  We’re so proud!

Thank you, to everyone who has used UGA Key over the past year!

Key Updated: Now Contains 2007-2008 Grades

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Just a quick note, UGAKey.com has been updated with 2007-2008 classes and grades.  Enjoy!

Key Updated with 2007 Classes

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

The Key now contains data for spring and fall 2007 classes.  These classes are noted with 2007 in the Year column.

We hope students find this additional class data useful during drop/add and when planning courses for next semester.

The Key Works On iPhone

For those with an iPhone or iPod Touch, UGA Key does work on both.

If you have any issues viewing The Key with either platform or issues viewing with any browser at all, please contact us.

Grade Data Now Works With Safari 3

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Some of you contacted us with news that the grade data on UGAKey was not working with Safari 3.

We seem to have corrected the problem, which had to do with a feature we had been using to debug the site.

The spreadsheets should now be working for Safari users (most Safari users are still using version 2, but those who have Leopard installed have Safari 3).

If any Safari users (or users of any browsers, for that matter) are having problems getting any part of the site to load, please contact us.

Thanks!
