In the coming months, the login screen for several University of Georgia web applications will change.

Many applications will transition from using Central Authentication Service (CAS) to UGA Single Sign-On (UGA SSO) in November 2019, December 2019 and January 2020.

The look and feel of the login pages for each application will change to UGA SSO, but the login process for these applications will not. You can find a screenshot of the UGA SSO login screen on the UGA SSO informational page.

Major applications transitioning to UGA SSO

November:

• MyID Profile Password Reset Service

More applications may be scheduled to transition during this time as well.

Protecting the integrity, confidentiality and privacy of the information assets of the university is the most critical mission for EITS. UGA SSO provides improved authentication mechanisms for information systems, and better security and privacy for university data and information.

UGA SSO also provides the ability to use two-factor authentication to access web applications for departmental information systems – a critical enhancement that many units on campus have requested.

Students, faculty and staff will see more applications transition from CAS to UGA SSO in the coming months. All university web applications must use UGA SSO by March 6, 2020.

During the transition to UGA SSO, you may encounter both the CAS login screen and the UGA SSO login screen, depending on the application you are accessing.

Both CAS and UGA SSO are valid login screens. When accessing CAS or UGA SSO, always check for a secure connection with “https” in the URL. Your browser may display a lock in the browser bar. 

If you are concerned with the legitimacy of a site that looks like CAS or UGA SSO, email abuse@uga.edu or call the EITS Help Desk at 706-542-3106.
