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

Full Summary:
Georgia Tech undergraduates are earning their degrees at record rates. During the 2021-22 academic year, the Institute awarded 4,016 undergraduate degrees.
Georgia Tech undergraduates are earning their degrees at record rates. Since the 2011 inception of Complete College Georgia (CCG) — a University System of Georgia (USG) initiative to increase the number of students who complete their degrees — the numbers have continued to rise.
Students in the Fall 2016 first-year cohort recorded a six-year graduation rate of 93%, an all-time high for the Institute. (In U.S. public colleges, the average retention rate is about 71%.) Underrepresented minorities and women within this cohort also posted record-high graduation rates of 87% and 94%, respectively. Additionally, 98% of students in the Fall 2021 first-year cohort enrolled for a second year. This represents an all-time high for the Institute.
