UGA was last named the top institution in 2017 and has ranked in the top three each year since.
The University of Georgia has a coronavirus website to provide the campus community with information about health, travel, emergency preparedness, and campus operations.
Since 2014, the Parents Fund has supported the Student Veterans Resource Center (SVRC) to address the unique challenges that student veterans face as nontraditional students at UGA.
Using an innovative strategy called "persistent coaching," the SVRC provides student veterans with a structure for success.
President Trump has signed a bipartisan bill to allow veterans on the GI Bill to continue receiving full benefits as universities move classes online. The new law allows for the VA to continue to pay benefits regardless of the fact that the program has changed from resident training to online training. Also, students will continue to receive the same monthly housing allowance payments that they received for resident training until January 1, 2021, or until the school resumes normal operations of resident training.
The University of Georgia has been ranked the No. 3 "Military Friendly Tier I Research University" in the nation according to the 2020-2021 Military Friendly rankings.
Fifty-four graduating student veterans are being recognized with distinctive red, white, and blue honor cords to commemorate their academic and cocurricular achievements.
