Xitracs Reporting
UGA uses Xitracs (pronounced "Zie-tracks") as the software tool for reporting on learning outcomes assessment. Xitracs replaced the Academic Planning System, which was used for assessment reporting through 2016.
As outlined in Academic Policies 01.06.003 and 01.06.001, all academic programs and Academic and Student Support Services units must have an assessment plan and collect data on at least two of their outcomes annually. To facilitate this requirement, the Xitracs tool organizes both the plan and report information into one form.
This form includes places for the following:
- Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs),
- Description of the methods used to assess the extent to which the SLOs are met,
- A schedule for conducting assessment of the SLOs,
- Data collected and analyzed annually, and
- Evidence of improvement based on that data.
To access the Xitracs portal, use your UGA MyID and password at the following link: http://uga.xitracs.net/portal.htm
The deadline for annual LOA reporting is October 1.
