General FAQs

► How does it work?
  1. Check the FACTS website and Existing Reports PDF for information on reports that are currently available.
  2. If the report you require is on the Existing Reports list a request for access can be submitted in CASIS here: https://apps.reg.uga.edu/CASIS/.
  3. If you need a new report to be developed, complete a request form on the Request a New Report page.
  4. Once a request for a new report or a request for access to data has been submitted, the status of the report can be checked on the Status of Report RequestsExcel spreadsheet andor the status of the access can be checked in CASIS.
  5. Email reports@uga.edu with any questions at any time. The appropriate functional area(s) will work with you to complete the appropriate request.
► How is this different from the current report request process?

The ConnectUGA process will give users a central place to view a list of the existing reports, request reports, request access to data or reports, and check the status of those requests. Once a report request or access request has been submitted, the responsible office(s) will work with you to complete report development processes and/or any data access requests needed.

This process will also give campus users one point of contact for questions about the report request and/or access process. Questions or comments can be sent to reports@uga.edu which is monitored on a regular basis.

► What does it mean if a request has been "Approved with Revisions"?

Data Stewards may approve access to some but not all data submitted on the access request. They may also know of other data fields than the ones requested that will give more accurate information for your request.

Data Stewards will indicate what part or parts of your request were revised and provide a rationale in the report access request form.

► What does it mean if a request has been "Denied"?

Data Stewards may decide that there is not a sufficient business need to grant access to the requested student data, hence denying the request. If a request is denied by Data Steward then they will provide a rationale on request form that was submitted.

► How can the decision on a request be appealed?

If you do not agree with the “Approved with Revisions” or “Denied” decision made by the data steward(s), please email reports@uga.edu and copy the data steward(s) stating the justification for requesting an appeal. If possible attach the report request to the email or include the CASIS request number. Your appeal will be reviewed by the Reporting Appeals Committee.
