Correspondence Clean Up Project
Beginning October 12th, we will retire any correspondence process that has not been run since 7/1/19, should be moved to another communications module, or pulls LYBUNTS or SYBUNTS from previous years to clean up your view in the system. These processes will not be deleted, and no records will be untagged.
New Features & System Updates
Non-Primary Education Records in GAIL
We heard you! Non-primary degree information is now available in GAIL before a student graduates. To avoid duplication, minors will only be listed on the primary degree. If you have questions about this change, email them to askit@uga.edu.
Auburn vs. Georgia Giving Challenge
The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry is moving to a new playing field: charitable giving. Join us for Beat Week by promoting gifts to YOUR school/college/unit/cause through this campaign.
When: Today through Saturday, Oct. 3 at midnight
What Counts: Any gift. Any designation. Any amount. Any donor.
Who: All donors are encouraged to participate. Our focus is to attract alumni participation specifically.
Where: AUvUGA.com shows the head-to-head numbers. This is the link you should share to view the competition as it stands with periodic data refreshes. From there, visitors will be redirected to our donation page.

Attention Event Managers!
You've all come up with some pretty creative ways to engage constituents in our new virtual world and we love being part of bringing them to life! Here are a few ways that you can help us help you:
- Use AskIT: Keeping all your requests in one place helps us streamline our work.
- Plan Ahead: Please aim to request your registration page at least one week ahead of when you need it.
- Be Specific: The more information you give us up front (page copy, which registration options to include, etc.) the quicker we'll be able to complete your request.
- Understand: Due to the current volume of requests we are receiving, we may be unable to accommodate custom features.
Schedule a Team Consultation
Since March, everyone has made major changes to the way we work. If you need to reevaluate how your team uses GAIL or simply would like to learn about how GAIL can be working harder for you, schedule a consultation with the Client Services team. We can meet remotely to assess your needs, work on specific upcoming projects together and more.
