Changes to Qualtrics may affect your surveys: Qualtrics, a free survey tool available to UGA students, faculty, and staff, recently made configuration changes that affected active surveys that require single sign-on, or CAS. If you recently created a survey that requires users to log in with their MyID and password (CAS single sign-on) to submit their results, your survey may not work as expected. If your survey requires users to log in to submit their results, you will need to make changes to each survey affected. Make sure you have the following settings in place for your authentication options:

Authentication Type: SSO

SSO Type: CAS

Hostname: cas2.uga.edu

Port: 443

URL: cas

If your survey does not require users to log in to submit their results, you should not be affected. Logins to Qualtrics are also not affected. For more information, please
