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 has formalized the results from a review of Institute’s Computer Network Usage and Security Policy (CNUSP), the document that provides the guiding principles for use of information technology resources at Georgia Tech.
Faculty, staff and students are expected to behave in an ethical and professional manner when using IT resources, just as the Institute is bound by law to protect access to its data and resources. The revised policy offers additional clarification for respecting copyrights, and addresses for the first time the protection of research data and export control.
OIT has created a website for users to review the updated policy, a summary of policy changes, and frequently asked questions for employees and students. Questions regarding the policy or its application can also be sent here.
