Changes that started as a Blazer Answers submission

USGA cannot fix everything, but here is a sample of recent changes that came directly from student feedback.

Dining

Extended Blazer Kitchen hours during finals week

After multiple submissions flagged early closing times during finals, USGA worked with Dining Services to extend hours through the exam period.

Campus & Facilities

Added crosswalk lighting near Rast Hall

Several safety concerns submitted last fall led to a facilities review and new lighting installed along the walkway.

Academics

More late-night study space in Sterne Library

Student requests for extended quiet study space prompted a pilot of 24-hour access during midterms and finals.

Common questions

  • Will I get in trouble for submitting anonymously?

    Will I get in trouble for submitting anonymously?

    No. Anonymous submissions are reviewed the same as any other, and USGA has no way to trace them back to you. The trade-off is that USGA can't send you a direct reply.

  • How long does USGA take to respond?

    How long does USGA take to respond?

    Most BlazerID and guest submissions get a response within 3–5 business days. Complex issues involving another department can take longer, but you'll get an update either way.

  • What kinds of things can I actually submit?

    What kinds of things can I actually submit?

    Anything related to your experience at UAB — academics, dining, housing, campus facilities, student life, or campus technology. If it doesn't fit a category, use General/Other.

  • Can I check the status of something I already submitted?

    Can I check the status of something I already submitted?

    If you submitted with your BlazerID or a guest email, USGA will follow up with you directly at that address once there's an update.
