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

This session will supplement the information provided at FASET and Graduate Student Orientation. Since those sessions are not specifically targeted to the needs of international students, it is highly recommended that new international students not familiar with the U.S medical insurance system, health and counseling services, and safety issues in the U.S attend.
An Officer from the GA Tech Police Department will discuss a number of topics specifically targeted to international students. Possible topics for discussion include:
In addition, Jennifer White from Health Services will explain the medical services provided to GA Tech students and a representative from Blue Cross Blue Shield will explain the GA Tech medical insurance plan in which all international students are automatically enrolled and billed.
Lastly, Janice Harewood from GA Tech Counseling Services will also discuss services offered to international students for adjusting to life in the United States.
