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

The Office of Information Technology (OIT) will perform a significant upgrade to the campus network on Saturday, March 19. This will include increasing the core network bandwidth by four times the current capacity to enable continued growth in Internet usage. To minimize disruptions, the maintenance has been scheduled from 6 a.m. to noon. However, OIT is anticipating some campus network outages during the upgrade period. Wired and wireless internet connections in residence halls and on campus are affected. Additional services that may be affected include, but are not limited to, BuzzPort, T-Square, Banner, Passport, Service Desk DegreeWorks, the campus VPN, and Office 365 (email, contacts, and calendar).
