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

If you’re traveling domestically or internationally, attending a conference, or waiting for a new laptop, you may want to consider checking out a loaner laptop offered by the Office of Information Technology’s (OIT) Loaner Program.
Each Dell and Apple device is equipped with the basic hardware and software requirements, including an operating system, Microsoft Office, and VPN, making it ideal for use at an event or as a temporary backup. If you need additional software or drivers, you may contact your school or department’s computer support specialist.
The Technology Support Center will make sure users are credentialed as faculty or staff and will assist in the registration process.
When a laptop is returned, an OIT staff member will ensure that all data is erased and ready for the next customer.
As with any Institute-issued equipment, users are expected to follow Georgia Tech policies for working and safe computing.
For more information on policy and compliance regulations, visit c.gatech.edu/cyberPCA. Users should also read and follow the Secure Travel Tips found at c.gatech.edu/laptoptravel.
To request a loaner laptop, email loaner@oit.gatech.edu. You’ll be contacted when your laptop is ready, and you can pick it up at the Technology Support Center in Suite 215 of the Clough Commons.
