*Note: This applies only to users of Macs using the Safari web browser (the default browser on a Mac)*

Some Safari (on Mac) users are having trouble filtering grade data and seeing grades.  This issue seems to have popped up when users upgraded to Safari version 4.0.2.  As such, this does not appear to be an issue with UGAKey.com  For most users, the upgrade to Safari version 4.0.3 (typically an automatic upgrade) appears to have fixed the issue.  If you haven’t upgraded to the latest version of Safari, please do so (good instructions here).

If you are using Safari version 4.0.3 and continue to have problems with UGAKey.com, please contact us immediately and include your operating system and version of Safari.  You might try using another web browser, like the free and open source Firefox, to get the full experience.

We apologize for any trouble this has caused you during drop/add and we will keep an eye on the problems.

Recent changes to UGAKey.com

We would like to let all University students know of a few recent updates to UGAKey.com, the online database of course grade distributions dating back to 1999.

UGAKey.com includes syllabi for over 4000 classes, with another 2000 forthcoming before the end of drop/add, and now has better support for the Safari browser.

UGAKey.com includes class grades up to Spring 2009 for most course sections and professors, meaning you can see and use 10 years worth of grades on UGAKey.com.

As you decide on classes during fall drop/add and spring registration, don’t get caught unprepared — use UGAKey.com.

If you have any problems accessing the grade data, contact us here.

UGAKey.com now includes syllabi for over 6000 classes, has better support for the Safari browser, and includes grades from Fall 1999-Spring 2009 (that’s right, ten years worth of data to help you pick classes!). Also, if you want to save money on textbooks, avoid lines at the bookstore, and support The Key, go here to make your textbook purchases. You save money and help support continued development of UGAKey.com.

If you have any problems accessing the grade data, please contact us right away. Also, let us know if there’s any changes you would like to see, or any additional features you would like included on UGAKey.com

~ Your UGAKey.com Team

This new version of UGAKey.com uses a newer system to display grade tables, which solves a problem we’ve had for a while (some people had trouble viewing in Safari and Internet Explorer and on slower systems).  It also means that grade tables load much (much!) faster than before.  In fact, I just loaded all English subject classes (almost 3,000 classes worth of data) and the page finished loading within 8 seconds (that’s on a fresh install of Firefox 3.5 RC3).

The new version also includes course syllabi, a frequent request.  Check out the column on the far right when looking at grades – if there is a link in the cell, we have the syllabus in our repository.  We will be adding more syllabi as we move forward.

This version of UGAKey.com contains grades from Fall 1999 through Spring 2009.  That’s ten years worth of grades for you to use when choosing courses!  This also means we have 32,366 classes worth of data!

If you happen to prefer the old version of UGAKey.com, you can find it here.  We can’t guarantee how long it will work and the grades on it only go through 2008, but it is up for the time being.

We would love to hear from UGA students! Do you like the new Key, love it, hate it?  Get in touch with us!  We think we’ve squashed all of the bugs, but if you have any problems or suggestions, please contact us.

With this update, UGA Key now has grade data on 32,366 classes!  Over thirty-two thousand classes!  And syllabi!

If you have any problems, please please PLEASE get in touch with us and let us know.  We have fixed several bugs in recent weeks thanks to input from students.

Along with this update, we have made the Beta Key significantly faster loading.  The English subject just loaded for myself in less than 5 seconds (in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers).

Up next, we are going to move the Beta Key over to the main UGA Key site (we’ll still leave up the old version for anyone attached) and we will add more syllabi.

Enjoy using UGA Key, and tell your friends and classmates where to determine which classes to take and which to avoid!

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!
