About MyUGA

In Spring of 2009, the University of Georgia launched its Next Generation MyUGA Web site based on the open source uPortal 3 platform.  MyUGA is a single Web site designed primarily for students and providing aggregated access to offer a diverse set of resources and web-based services such as electronic mail, course information, student services news, announcements, events, campus maps, etc.  MyUGA is currently in Phase 2 of a three-phase project which will continue to add features, functionality, and services for the portal.
