Current job title:

Lecturer, Department of Physics, UCC

What appeals to you most about your current role?

I enjoy the mix of activities over the course of the day; giving lectures, writing code or discussing some new results over a whiteboard. There’s also a pleasant aspect of chatting with likeminded people in both the other staff and visiting researchers.

Course/subjects studied in UCC and year of graduation:

I graduated from UCC with an undergraduate degree in Physics and Mathematics in 2013 and a PhD in Physics in 2017.

What influenced or helped you decide to study this degree?

At school I really enjoyed studying maths, applied maths and physics the most out of all my other subjects, in part due to some wonderful teachers. On account of that, it just seemed like a very natural choice.

Most relevant main or subsidiary topic studied:

I’m not sure how much I’ve needed it, but my favourite module was definitely Abstract Algebra in my first year. The lecturer, Prof. Des MacHale, was really engaging and always told us lots of interesting mathematical anecdotes.

Best memory of UCC:

One of my favourite memories was an organised trip to CERN. It was great fun and helped everyone get to know each other better. It led to a small tight knit class with great camaraderie throughout the rest of the course.

What role do you feel UCC played in getting you to where you are today?

I think the teaching at UCC gave me a very solid grounding in fundamental physics and pure mathematics. The academic staff being very friendly and approachable was definitely a critical part of this.

The physics department also offered lots of opportunities for research projects over the summer.These projects helped give me an insight into what active research really entailed and were great practice for learning to work independently.

Brief overview of work history:

After completing my PhD in 2017, I moved to Bilbao in Spain. I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of the Basque Country there. After spending some time there, I took up my present post as a lecturer at UCC.

What advice would you give to current students that are about to graduate/enter the job market?

Be aware of both your unique skills and also your weaknesses when compared with other candidates. With this in mind, try to work on any potential “holes” in your CV to become more well rounded e.g. more experience programming or public speaking etc.

Do you feel there are any major gaps in your education which should be filled for future students?

It would definitely be beneficial if students were exposed to more programming earlier, although I think this has already improved drastically since when I was studying.

Current job title :

Insights Analyst at Riot Games

I love solving interesting problems. This role gives me an opportunity to solve many very different problems in an industry that I’m passionate about.

Course/subjects studied in UCC and year of graduation :

I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Astrophysics in 2009 and I proceeded to complete a PhD under the supervision of Dr. Denise Gabuzda in 2013.

What influenced or helped you decide to study this degree ?

Maths, Applied Maths and Physics were easily my favourite subjects in secondary school. I had also been very interested in astronomy and space science but I wasn’t sure when I was filling out my CAO if I wanted to complete an Astronomy degree or a Physics degree. After research I decided to apply to UCC as I liked how I could spend the first two years studying normal physics with everyone else and then make a more educated decision in 3rd year regarding my final degree. Additionally, even after the third year, the course modules for Astrophysics still featured many other areas within Physics and I felt as though I wouldn’t be restricted in my choices post my undergraduate degree.

All of the modules in the Physics degree in UCC teach you how to problem solve and that’s easily the most important skill that I use day to day in my current role. Additionally, we were expected to teach ourselves new software and analysis methodologies throughout the degree. This focus on ensuring that we would be able to self-learn has been critical for me as I apply my numerical and problem solving skills to new disciplines.

While at UCC I joined the WARPS society where I made many of my closest friends. My best memory of UCC was the year I directed WARPCON, the student run tabletop convention held each January across the UCC campus. That weekend is still one of my fondest memories and I still return to UCC every January to attend the event. For the past 5 years I have been the MC for the table quiz and charity auction so, in some ways, it is like I never left!

I don’t think I’d be working at Riot Games today if it wasn’t for UCC. In addition to giving me the skills I need every day to do my job, UCC introduced me to the tabletop gaming hobby which I believe is one of the reasons I was hired at Riot Games.

After completing my PhD I moved to Dublin to join AIB as a Data Scientist. I worked on the Data Science team at AIB for two years before helping to set up and lead the Research & Innovation team at AIB. I left this team in October 2018 to join the EU Insights team at Riot Games.

Don’t worry about how your degree may dictate the roles you may find in industry. A person with a PhD in Astrophysics can get a job working at a video games company! Someone with a PhD in Quantum mechanics can work as an editor at a science journal. Apply for the roles you are most passionate about. Your UCC physics degree will have taught you the problem solving skills that are critical across multiple industries.

I would have appreciated a module on a programming language such as ‘Python’ during my physics degree. While I remember having a 5 credit module on C Programming in second year, this wasn’t very useful to me during my PhD and subsequent career. Python has a huge number of useful physics modules as well as being the programming language of choice of data analysis. I thought myself Python during my PhD at UCC as I needed to know it in order to complete my research. I think future physics students would benefit from knowing this programming language both as they undertake their degree and after their degree if they choose to find a job in industry.

Any other comments you wish to share:

I’d just like to say hello to everyone at the Physics department who I haven’t spoken to in far too long. I’d especially like to thank Denise for giving me the opportunity to pursue a PhD with her. I’d also like to say sorry to her one last time for leaving academia!

BSc Physics 2009

I enjoyed the problem solving elements of Maths and Physics in Secondary School. I also appreciated that there wasn't as much rote learning in these subjects compared to others.

Semiconductor Physics

Cups of tea and chats in our student house.

UCC instilled in me a sense of confidence and independence which has helped me throughout my PhD and my current role.

Brief overview of work history (to highlight the path to where you are now):

2009-2013         PhD in Physics (nanotech) at UCD

2013-2014         Gap year travelling to India, South-east Asia and Australia

2014-2018         Process Engineer at Intel Ireland

2018-present      Senior Process Engineer at Intel Ireland

Use the careers office at UCC to find out about the options available to you.

For physics students, there are many opportunities in areas that may not be immediately obvious. My class of 2009 are working in fields including Finance, Engineering, Energy, Risk, Gaming, Academia, Scientific Publishing and Tech.

Don’t neglect soft skills such as presentation skills, people skills and general communication skills. No matter what area you find yourself in, these will benefit your career.

It would have been beneficial to have had more coding modules within the Physics course, particularly Python and SQL.

Associate Director, R&D, Alcon Ireland

Working with great people and with a company that has a fantastic culture, all while working on products that allow people to see after cataract surgery

Advanced Quantum Mechanics, Advanced Electromagnetism, Advanced Condensed Matter Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Lasers and Photonics, Physics and Semiconductor physics, Research Project. 2004

Met with Prof. Tony Deeney while I was in 6th year in secondary school and he had a big influence on my decision.

Optics and Photonics and Semiconductor physics

Small group of 20 or physics students who were all quite like-minded people and all got on really well.

The ability to self learn and the importance of evidence based decision making.

Degree in Hons Physics, PhD in Semiconductor Physics in the Tyndall National Institute (3 years)

Postdoctoral Researcher in Photonics with Cardiff University (4 years)

SFI SIRG Fellow in Photonics at Tyndall National Institute (4 years)

R&D Engineer at Alcon (2 years)

R&D Manager at Alcon

Associate Director of R&D at Alcon

Industry is going heavily towards automation. Address this gap. There are huge opportunities outside of academia.

Lack of industry exposure: eg good manufacturing practice, quality, validation experience.

Students should actively email academic professors and people in industry in order to reach out and make contact. It still amazes me how little few people do this and how effective it can be.

Secondary Science Teacher

I enjoy teaching science at this level (lower secondary) as the kids are fun to work with and are so amazed by a lot of the concepts I get to teach.

BSc Astrophysics, graduated 2013.

MSc Physics (Photonics), graduated 2015.

I was always a quizical child and as my questions got more fundamental physics was the subject that answered them, it only seemed natural I go on to study it in university.

I guess seeing as I went on to become a teacher, PALS (Peer-Assisted Learning Support) was one of the most relevant things I did in my time in university even if it wasn’t technically a module but it was my first real teaching experience.

Since I was in UCC for nearly six years, it is really hard to pick one but I was always a big fan of lunches in Kampus Kitchen (which I’ve heard is no more, being replaced by the Ted Neville cafe).

Well I guess providing me with the degree would be the biggest and most important role but UCC didn’t really have any part in my decision, that was quite the fluke really though funnily enough I did meet the now former UCC president, Michael Murphy in Hanoi in 2016.

Masters Student/Researcher, Tyndall National Insitute, Cork, Ireland: Oct 2013 - Apr 2015

Wellspring International School Hanoi, Ha Noi, Viet Nam: July 2015 - May 2017

Vietnam Australia School Hanoi, Ha Noi, Viet Nam: August 2017 - May 2019

Don’t think the only thing a physics degree can get you is a research or industry position. To a lot of employers out there, a physics degree seems to be seen as a problem-solving degree and almost every industry needs a problem-solver every now and then.

None that I can think of but then again, it’s been a few years since I’ve been in university now so it’s hard to remember.

Join Physoc, I’m happy to see that they’re still doing a great job!

Head of A-Level Physics and PSHE Coordinator at St James’ Catholic High School

Working with young people in a job which is a purely social enterprise. Having a job where no two days are the same and every day presents new challenges and successes.

Education in Physical Sciences / Physics and Astrophysics, 2013

Teaching is what I’ve wanted to do since being a young child, so the opportunity to learn to teach during my undergrad (through the Education in Physical Sciences program) was the perfect opportunity for me.

The general skills of problem-solving have been transferrable to many different, and sometimes unexpected, dimensions of the job of teaching.

Impossible to pick just one! Making lifelong friends both in and outside of my course. Skydiving with the parachute club was a highlight.

UCC gave me a great foundation in teaching physics that I have continued to develop through my career.

After graduating in 2013, I moved to London to initially work as a cover teacher and then got a job as a science teacher in a secondary school through an agency. I have now been at the same school for 5 years. In this school I have progressed from science teacher to head of A-Level Physics, whole-school PSHE coordinator and most recently Assistant Head of Year.

Don’t limit yourself by fixating on a particular end-point; be open to hearing out any peripheral opportunities that come your way. I never planned on moving to London but it is the best thing I’ve ever done!

Technical project lead and sensor specialist. 

What appeals to you about your current role :

My job consists of two roles, to research and develop new sensor technologies and also to lead customer projects from concept to start of series production. In my role as sensor specialist I like being given the challenge to create a concept and follow the sensor development through from beginning to end. Reaching and achieving the solution to a technical problem gives me a real thrill. Plus I habe the opportunity to always learn new skills and learn new concepts. Also in my role as a technical project lead, I find it very interesting to work both with the end customer and with the team to find solutions for the customer needs. I also like being so closely involved with the decision making process, the feeling of responsibility is also highly rewarding, and helps me to feel like a valued member of the team. 

I studied Physics in UCC and graduated in 2009 with a BSc(Hons) in Physics. Afterwards I did a PhD at Tyndall (joined with UCC Physics department) and graduated in 2013 with a PhD. 

As I was finishing secondary school, I knew I wanted to pursue a science subject but I was unsure where i wanted to specialise. However a visit to the UCC open day convinced me that a degree in Physics was the right decision for me. I had the chance to meet the lecturers at UCC and their passion for Physics and their own topics of study really impressed me. From then on I made up my mind to study Physics at UCC. 

Throughout my studies at UCC I got a taste of all different aspects of physics topics. However the ones that have helped me the most in my career is the Optics and mechanics modules, plus the maths and programming modules. 

I think the best part of my experience at UCC was joining the clubs. I was part of the squash club during my studies at UCC, and it felt like being a part of a small family 

The Physics courses i studied at UCC gave me a wide appreciation of the field of Physics. I had the opportunity to learn how to become a hands on scientist, trained to think outside the box and grasp complex concepts and ideas both quickly and easily. In a way, my degree at UCC retrained my thinking processes. I also learned never to be intimidated of things I don't at first understand, because I know that after a little effort I will understand. This has applied to every aspect of my life outside of work, such as learning new languages and cultures when I have moved to different countries for work and travel. 

After my undergraduate degree, I moved to the Tyndall National Institute and worked as a PhD student on fibre optic sensors. In 2013,after I finished my PhD work, i moved to Southampton in the UK and worked as an R&D Engineer at CooperVision (a contact lens manufacturer). There I worked to develop the optical metrology systems, investigated new lens designs and worked for children's clinical trials to prevent Myopia. In 2016 I moved to Konstanz in Germany and began working as a Technical Sensor Specialist for BCS Automotive Interface Solutions (an automotive company). For over two years I worked on lens development for new sensor solutions. In 2019 I was assigned as the Technical lead for one of our automotive customer's sensor solutions. 

I think the most important part of job happiness and satisfaction is in a role where you can continue to grow and develop yourself, your skills and your interests. When you can see your progression you will naturally be happier with your day to day tasks. I would also look for a manager or more experienced professional who can act as a mentor for you, sometimes in a big company and team, it is good to have a voice that can back you up, particularly as a female engineer working in an all male team. 

One skill that I am lacking after my education in UCC is electronics skills. I find that a large number of opportunities are closed to me because I am missing this basic knowledge and practical skill. 

https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-elizabeth-horan-ph-d-3b985934

Technology Manager of PIXAPP, World’ First Open Access Photonic Packaging Pilot Line

 In my role as Photonics Technology Manager, I find the diversity and variety of the work the most rewarding aspect. We work with some of the biggest companies in the world to develop technology solutions, this means there are constantly new problems to solve and exciting cutting edge research to get involved in.

Single Honours Physics Degree. Physics, Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Photonics

I think this would definitely be the Photonics course that I took in my final year. It provided a great foundation to the work I would go on to do in my PhD.

My best memory of UCC is meeting my wife there!

UCC had a large role in getting me where I am right now. My Physics degree provided a great background in critical thinking and problem solving, which I use daily in my current role. The strong links the Physics Dept. has with the Tyndall National Institute and industry, made it easy to transition from an academic environment to the applied sciences.

After completing my undergraduate degree in UCC, I started my PhD at the Tyndall National Institute. My PhD focussed on Photonics, where I was designing, testing and developing new optically integrated circuits. After my PhD, I worked in the Integrated Photonics Group at Tyndall as a postdoctoral researcher, where I was developing new PICs for high speed optical communications. In 2016, I joined the Photonics Packaging Group at Tyndall as a researcher, where I was leading EU projects and developing standardized photonic packaging technologies leading to new optical and electrical packaging schemes for Si and InP based photonic systems.

From a technical point of view, I don’t think there are any gaps that should be filled for future students. However, I do find that since a lot of EU projects I work on are spread across several countries, knowing a second European language (French/German) would be very useful.

Don’t narrow options too much or specialise too much too early. Job you do in the future may not exist yet. Pick up professional qualiifications where possible.

Coding and software development practices

Stephen Fahy is the greatest influence on my career as someone who just takes an interesting problem and works with it, from finance to quantum mechanics to statistics.

Current job title: 

Co-founder & CEO of The Festival of Curiosity 

I am currently the CEO of The Festival of Curiosity which is a job that I never would have predicted I would be in when I studied in UCC. The aspect of the role that appeals to me the most is working with very interesting people from a variety of backgrounds including science, arts and design. 

I studied Physics and Mathematics (Joint Honours) and graduated in 2004. 

What influenced or helped you decide to study this degree?

I attended the UCC Open Day in 1999/2000 and saw the potential of a Physics degree so I knew it was for me. 

Most relevant main or subsidiary topic studied:

Even though I wanted to study Physics I ended up selecting a joint degree with Maths which helped me with my Physics and added a lot of variety to my four years in UCC.

I have a lot of good memories of UCC. I remember being at the Lower Grounds during the usual sunny weather at exam time, taking a break with friends. I really enjoyed my course and I was very lucky to have a great group of friends, who made my time in UCC very memorable.

What role do you feel UCC played in getting you to where you are today?

My time in UCC has been the main platform in my life to get to where I am now. My course in Physics and Maths opened up a lot of opportunities, including working in Mozambique with the Department of Foreign Affairs and being the Curator for Dublin City of Science in 2012. I would never have assumed doing a Physics degree could provide these opportunities and UCC gave me the ability to create a pathway through life that has been varied and unexpected. 

I have worked in a variety of roles after university and had great opportunities to work on developing science and technology projects in Mozambique with Irish Aid; become a team member on a startup youth mental health and technology organisation; and become the Curator for the Dublin City of Science 2012 which engaged 600,000 people across the country. 

I then setup The Festival of Curiosity which is Dublin’s international festival of science, arts, design and technology with an audience of over 50,000 people every year. 

I am also the Chair of the International School of Dublin, President of the Ireland United States Alumni Association, Director of the European Network of American Alumni Associations and on the Board of Directors of Respond Housing Association 

When I think back to my time in UCC, I suppose it would have been good to understand that the skills I learned in UCC were just as important as the subject matter. It is important to do well at exams, but focussing on developing your social and soft skills can make you more adaptable for whatever future career path you take. 

If I had the chance to do my degree in UCC over again, I would meet as many people as I could who are working in different roles and industries. I think more opportunities should be created to meet alumni from various backgrounds to give a realistic view of what’s possible and help identify pathways to success.

UCC Grading System: The University of Cape Coast uses a specific grading system to evaluate student performance

Understanding UCC grading system includes how to calculate your Grading point average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), is essential for tracking academic progress and achieving your education goals

In this article, you’ll learn about UCC grading system, how to calculate your gpa and cgpa

We will also answer some of the frequently questions asked about UCC grading system

Lets jump into it

Table of Contents

UCC Grading System

The University of Cape Coast grading system is essential for students to accurately assess their academic performance. Here is a breakdown

The Score Range of UCC Grading System

The University of Cape Coast grading involves knowing the score ranges corresponding to each letter grade and their respective grade point

This grading system is used to calculate both the Grade point average (GPA) for a semester and the Cumulative grade point average (CGPA) over multiple semesters, providing a a comprehensive evaluation of a student academic performance

Student Assessment At The University of Cape Coast

Student assessment at the University of Cape Coast encompasses a variety of methods aimed at evaluating and measuring students learning outcomes and academic progress

Continuous Assessment involves ongoing evaluation of students performance throughout the semester. It includes assignment, quizzes, presentation , class participation, project and other forms of assessment as determined by course instructor

GPA = Total (CP * GP) / Total Credits

Sample Courses and Grades

Degree Classification At University of Ghana College

Undergraduate degree classification is based on the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) that a student achieves upon graduation

Let’s look some of the frequently asked questions about UCC grading system

How Is The GPA Calculated?

To calculate the GPA, multiply the grade point for each course by the credit hours of the course to get weighted grade points. Then, sum all the weighted grade points and divide by the total credit hours

What Is CGPA and How Is It Different From GPA?

CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average, which is the average of all GPA scores obtained in all semesters. GPA is the average grade point for a single semester, while CGPA reflects performance over the entire academic program

How Can I Access My Grade?

Students can access their grades through the university’s online student portal www.ucc.edu.gh

What Are The Degree Classification At UCC?

Degree classifications at UCC are based on CGPA:

• First Class Honours: 3.60- 4.00
• Second Class Honours (Upper Division): 3.00-  3.59
• Second Class Honours (Lower Division): 2.50 – 2.99
• Third Class Honours: 2.00 – 2.49
• Pass: 1.00 – 1.99
• Fail: Below 1.00

What Happens If I Fail A Course?

Studiosity's assignment calculator

Start early and stay calm - you've got this..

Uh oh, due on the same day?

Due tomorrow?

Save your plan for this assignment:

• Read your assignment instructions, check the word count and marking criteria, double check the due date and the format.
• Circle keywords in your assignment question that tell you what to do. For instance, is it asking you to 'evaluate' or 'describe' or 'assess'?
• Try writing out the question in your own words, or explain the assignment to a family member or friend.
• Circle or make note of any keywords that are related to your subject or course specifically (in Nursing, this might be \"human structure\" or \"misconduct\"; in Business it might be \"ethics\".)
• If you have any questions on how to understand your assignment question or keywords, log into your free Studiosity account to get 24/7 help from a study coach specialist.
• Use the right structure for your assignment type: is it an essay , report, personal reflection, persuasive or narrative, or scientific paper? Your assignment sheet or instructions from your teacher will tell you this.
• What do you already know? Spend a few minutes writing it down.
• Where will you look? Think about the tools you will use (perhaps your library databases, Google Scholar, others). Journals might be good for evidence, a credible online source or search might be good for general information.
• Get creative: When searching, think of other, related keywords that could give you new results and perspectives (for example the different keywords: Sport; Soccer; World Cup might give you different sources.)
• When taking notes, consider paraphrasing as you go - this means using your own words to describe someone else's idea. Paraphrasing can help you understand the idea yourself. (Remember, you still need to reference someone else's' idea even if you use your own words.) You might also choose to use a direct quote - \"exact words in a reference\" - or you might summarise, which is describing the findings of an entire source or section in your own words. If you take notes this way while researching, it will help you form your ideas, sentences, and paragraphs when you write your first draft.
• Save yourself some time - if you read something relevant, make a note right away . You might keep it in a \"research journal\" book or digital document, with correctly formatted references, dates accessed, and a brief note on what it relates to. This will save you a lot of time later!
• Remember those notes you took while reading? Now you can put them in an order that makes sense.
• Take notes to suit the type of structure you need to follow.
• Whether you are typing or writing, one method is to start with headlines - for example, by argument, by topic, by idea - and group the notes you made this way.
• Use your own words, using language that your teacher expects.
• Use evidence, properly.
• A draft isn't perfect! Try to write everything down first. Then, try to focus on developing those notes into organised paragraphs, based on the structure you need to follow.
• If you're not sure where to start, you can always connect to an English Subject Specialist who can help guide you on how to start your assignment
• Get trusted AI-powered feedback on what you have written so far. Studiosity is free for many students, so find your service to   upload your document and get fast, personalsied feedback to help improve your draft, in just minutes.
• Always check with your teacher or lecturer if you are unsure, or want feedback on the content or even referencing of your draft.
• You've got feedback, great! Now you need to do something with it. This is where you can critically think for yourself about the strength of your argument (if you're arguing), your references, and structure. Decide what feedback to use, and how you want to make changes if you want to.

Assignment Essentials: Step 1: Plan

• Getting Started
• Step 1: Plan
• Step 2: Search
• Step 3: Evaluate
• Step 4: Write

Study the requirements of the assignment:

How many words?

Which font?

Which Referencing style?

Is a Bibliography required?

MOST IMPORTANTLY , When is it due?

Next, look at the title of the assignment , and try to understand what it requires. For example, is it an analytical title that requires researching the subject thoroughly and presenting the findings in a manner that reects both the negatives and the positives and includes your own viewpoint?  For example: The role of the Church in Irish Education in the 20th century.

Mind Mapping

Creating a mind map allows you to put a structure on your thoughts and your assignment - identifying possible themes for your argument or topic, and grouping similar sub-topics together. Read more  here :

Here's an example of a mind map on the subject of Water:

15 Creative Mind Map Examples for Students from Focus THE CREATIVITY & PRODUCTIVITY BLOG, MeisterLabs GmbH

If you have been given a reading list with your assignment title read the prescribed (essential) sources. Also consult the additional (recommended) sources.

They will help you understand what your lecturer is looking for and help you structure your essay. You will then see what additional information you need to search for to provide evidence for your argument.

Even if your assignment doesn't include a specific reading list you will have been given one for the module, so  examine  it for relevant resources and make sure to read what your lecturer has recommended.

Start with the reading list, but don’t restrict yourself to the reading list.

Information about the Uniform Commercial Code Georgia (UCC) Central Indexing System

With the passage of legislation in 1993, the state of Georgia established a statewide system for the indexing of Uniform Commercial Code Georgia documents.

Under the current system, a secured party need only file in one county to receive statewide notification of lien position. When a filing is presented to a local clerk of Superior Court, the clerk has 24 hours in which to transmit the UCC document to the Authority, and the Authority then has 24 hours in which to add the filing to the statewide index. Prior to 1995, it was necessary to file in all 159 Georgia counties to receive statewide notification. The central index provides secured parties with greater protection while saving them both time and money.

The Authority provides free, statewide access to its database through search terminals installed in all clerk of Superior Court offices. Online access is also available by  subscription .

UCC Administrative Rules

UCC Administrative Rules (Rev. July 1, 2023) were formally adopted by the Board of Directors of the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority on July 1, 2023. You may access them here: UCC Administrative Rules

To assist in filing UCCs properly in Georgia, checklists are available for filing the UCC Financing Statement (UCC-1), the UCC Financing Statement Amendment (UCC-3) and the UCC-11 Information Request. However, these checklists are not to be construed as providing legal advice.

Access the checklists by visiting our  UCC Files & Forms section.

Enabling Legislation

For you convenience, you may access Title 11, Chapter 9 (UCC) of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated free of charge here: O.C.G.A.

To view UCC Files & Forms, please visit UCC Files & Forms .

UCC Fee Schedule

A. UCC Statements - Filing/Recording and Indexing: (Fees paid to Clerk of Superior Court)

B. Miscellaneous Copy Fees at Clerk of Superior Court's Office: (Fees paid to Clerk of Superior Court)

C. Certified Search Report, BY THE AUTHORITY ONLY: (Fees paid to Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority)

The information listed below is not intended to be used in lieu of legal advice. It is intended to be used for informational purposes only.

This document section seeks to provide information that may be helpful in analyzing Article 9 of Title 11 of O.C.G.A. as of the enactment of the 2010 Amendments to Article 9 effective July 1, 2013.

You may also consult the UCC Administrative Rules .

NOTE: This document is for informational purposes only and no representations are made as to its accuracy or fitness for any particular purpose. This document does not provide legal or other advice and is not intended as a substitute for such advice to any extent.

Where do I get the new forms?

They are available on our website by clicking here . The forms are pdf fillable so they can be completed online and printed.

Can I still use older versions of the forms?

No. Forms submitted with a revision date prior to 04/20/11 will be rejected.

Is there a change in where I file UCCs?

No. UCC financing statements and UCC financing statement amendments must be filed with the Clerk of Superior Court of any county in the state of Georgia https://www.gsccca.org/clerks

I understand if the collateral is defined as consumer goods and the secured obligation is under $5,000, then I have to assign a maturity date to the financing statement. Where do I put it on the form?

There is not a specific place for the stated maturity date to be placed on the form, so we suggest placing it in Block 8 and adding the wording "Subject to a Maturity Date of (Month/Day/Year)."

What are the reasons a Clerk of Superior Court can reject a filing?

Please refer to O.C.G.A. § 11-9-516.

What happens if a Clerk accepts a UCC filing that should have been rejected according to the list of reasons to reject?

Whether the secured party has secured perfection through filing depends on many factors but filing alone does not equal perfection. Bottom line: the secured party is responsible for filing correctly.

How do I terminate a UCC financing statement?

Please use the financing statement amendment form (UCC3) and refer to O.C.G.A. § 11-9-513.

How do I determine what name to enter when the debtor is an individual?

Please refer to O.C.G.A. § 11-9-503.

How will additional debtor names and secured party names be submitted?

Please use the additional party names form(s), UCC1Ap or UCC3Ap https://www.gsccca.org/file/ucc-forms .

What are the filing fees?

UCC financing statement filings cost $25. Please refer to the UCC Fee List .

What is the UCC5 Information Statement?

A UCC5 Information Statement is filed with the Clerk of Superior Court by a person with respect to a record filed under that person’s name if the person believes that the record is inaccurate (no filing fee required), was wrongfully filed or the record was filed by a person not entitled to do so (the standard filing fee of $25 applies). The information statement must identify the record to which it relates by the file number and provide the reason the person believes the record is inaccurate or wrongfully filed.

If a copy of the security agreement is filed with the UCC, is there a charge for the additional pages filed? Does the agreement have to be filed?

The charge is $25 for the UCC. There is no requirement that the agreement has to be filed.

May multiple actions be selected and submitted on the UCC3 amendment form? (i.e. a continuation and an party change)

No. Multiple actions selected on one amendment are a reason to reject the filing. Please refer to O.C.G.A. § 11-9-516.

When a UCC3 financing statement amendment is filed to continue an existing UCC1financing statement, how is the new effective period determined?

Please refer to O.C.G.A. § 11-9-515(d).

Does Georgia offer electronic filing of UCCs?

Yes. Clerks of Superior Court may opt to offer UCC eFile. Please find more information here https://efile.gsccca.org/ .

I am terminating a UCC real estate. Do I include the debtor name on the UCC Termination?

Yes. Include the debtor name in Block 6. Also for the Termination that is to be filed and recorded in the real estate records, make sure the original book and page number are listed in Block 1(a) and that Block 1(b) is checked.

The debtor's address has changed. How do I get this address on record?

Please file the UCC3 financing statement amendment. Enter the original/initial financing number in Block 1A. Check Block 5 and check that this amendment applies to the debtor and check the box that indicates that it is a change of name/address. Then give the current record name of the debtor in Block 6a or 6b. Then list the new address in Block 7c and also complete Block 9 as it applies.

How do I file a financing statement that contains crops as collateral?

Crops are treated as any other real estate related collateral and should be filed accordingly. Complete the UCC1 Financing Statement, attach the UCC Financing Statement Addendum (UCC1Ad) and mark box 13 and mark boxes 14, 15 and 16, if applicable.

Is the original debtor name required on a financing statement amendment (UCC3) terminating the initial financing statement (UCC1)?

It is not required to list the original debtor on the form.

How are UCC financing statements and subsequent related financing statement amendments linked in the search system?

UCC Amendments all require the original file number in Block 1(a). When searching, related UCC Amendments will be displayed in the search based on the linking of UCC original file numbers to UCC Amendments. Select "View Related Documents" to view linked UCCs.

Refine, rewrite & revise.

The first draft you write should not be the one you hand up! No matter how cautious you were in your writing, or how thoroughly you planned out your structure, you will have made mistakes or written things you later want to change. Refining your assignment will involve rigorous editing of the first draft of your assignment . The purpose of editing is to enhance the effectiveness of your writing in terms of both standard and content.  We also edit to help the work adhere to the set guidelines – for example, you may need to trim the words down to within the given word count. The editing process can be daunting: it can feel a little like starting again and you may feel nervous that it will result in parts of your work being cut or changed. You may have already spent so long writing an essay that you feel that you cannot improve on it. Do not be afraid of it! Editing is an important part of the process , and it will come more naturally the more you engage in it.

Editing is worth doing; even a short amount of time spent editing can bring about a great improvement in your work and increase your marks . It can be easy to miss minor mistakes, or not realise that something does not make sense until you read over it again. An essay may go through several iterations before it is properly complete. It is important to dedicate enough time to read through and edit your essay several times : each review will likely highlight something you missed previously.

There are a few strategies you can employ to make the editing process smoother. Reading your essay aloud will help you to spot small grammar or spelling mistakes . Additionally, something that might have been clear in your head might seem a lot more muddled when you read it out loud. If you find yourself tripping over your words as you speak, that is probably a sign that there is some issue with what you’ve written !

As we write, we become accustomed to what we have written, and start filling in the blanks in our heads naturally. As such, even when you are reading a text closely, you can miss mistakes you made because your brain knows what is meant to be there and fills that in instead. Therefore, it can be useful to get someone else to read your assignment . This is particularly effective if they do not have the same background as you do: if they cannot make sense of your argument or follow your logical reasoning, then you need to be more explicit and explain yourself in a clearer way.

Proofreading & Polishing your Assignment

Now that you’ve done your major edits, you can focus specifically on the spelling and grammar mistakes, and put the final touches to your assignment . By now, you should have a first/second draft of your essay complete which is ready to be read over and polished! It is important to realise that proofreading takes time and you should ideally allow a week between writing and polishing your essay . This will allow you to re-approach your assignment with a fresh pair of eyes. If you reread the paper just after you’ve written it, you will not notice some of the mistakes you made! Read the paper slowly to avoid missing mistakes and, if possible, ask a friend to read over it too . Proofreading is the last stage in the editing process. It needs to be done thoroughly and systematically, otherwise it is very easy to miss small errors that need to be changed.

As you work through your assignments, it can be useful to build a checklist to help you identify mistakes. The first step is to make a list of your common errors. This can be created by checking your tutor's feedback and making a list of recurring errors. Note down which words you frequently misspell, and whether there are specific grammar mistakes you repeatedly make . You can then use this list to focus your proofreading, but make sure to keep an eye out for other mistakes too! No matter how carefully you write, you will make mistakes here and there: this is part of the process, and now is the time to catch those slip-ups.

Take a structured approach when you read over your assignment: focus on specific potential problems , rather than trying to identify everything at one go. In your first proofread, you might focus on spelling. On your second pass, you could keep an eye out for grammar mistakes, and after that run-on sentences . Proofreading can be a bit tedious, but it’s important to spend time on it, as it can help you avoid minor mistakes that might cost you valuable marks.

The proofreading stage is also a good chance to make a final check of things like your structure and your citations . Double-check that you’re citing properly and that your bibliography is laid out correctly.

• Have you created a title page?
• Are your pages numbered?
• Do you need your student number on every page?
• Have you double-spaced your lines, and are you using the correct font?

This stage should be the stage where you put the final flourishes on your assignment , and ensure that it meets the standard of quality expected.
