There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

As universities ponder whether and how to offer affordable, high-quality instruction over the Internet, all eyes are on the Georgia Institute of Technology. The school recently announced plans to offer an online master’s degree in computer science for less than $7,000 — a fraction of what such a degree would cost in an on-campus setting.
