As part of ongoing efforts to enhance the student experience on campus, UGA is launching Dawg Source, a one-stop hybrid service model that provides resources to support students from pre-enrollment through graduation in person and online. This initiative was announced in President Jere W. Morehead’s 2023 State of the University address.
Building upon the existing in-person student services currently located in Student Care and Outreach at the Tate Student Center, Dawg Source will add streamlined instant mobile access to student resources through a dynamic website accessible through the UGA App. When fully launched, students will be able to connect with resources for class registration, financial aid, billing, academic advising and more. Students seeking in-person support with navigating their personal circumstances or finding resources should continue to connect with Student Care and Outreach.
For phase 1 of this update, the UGA App for iOS and Android will be updated to offer customized views for students, employees and other user groups for a more streamlined mobile experience. Users will be invited to select an experience category based on how they interact with the University of Georgia, which will allow the UGA App to emphasize the modules and information that will be the most useful to them. Students will be able to access the Dawg Source website through their experience category.
The UGA App is the official mobile app for the University of Georgia, where students, staff, faculty and visitors can engage with campus resources and learn more about the university. The app also allows users to track buses on and off campus, learn about the dining facilities, log in to various academic resources, check parking deck occupancy and access the UGA Involvement Network.
This mobile app update will also include a link to the UGA Libraries’ new Study Room Locator to help student study groups locate available group study rooms at the Miller Learning Center and Main Library.
This update will be available on Aug. 14 in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
