ATHENA manages information related to the areas of Admissions, Student Records, Curriculum, Financial Aid, and Student Accounts. As with any major system change, reconciling the new system with the legacy system presented a number of challenges in this edition of the Fact Book, and every effort has been made to maintain reporting consistency with previous years. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our colleagues across campus who have contributed to the 2014 Fact Book by providing data, guidance and support as we continue to expand our knowledge of the potential this new system affords the University of Georgia.
