The deadline to complete the 2023 Fall Biannual Compliance Training is today Friday, Oct. 27, at 11:59 p.m. (EDT). Beginning Monday, Oct. 30, access to Georgia Tech systems will be interrupted for employees who have failed to complete the training by the Oct. 27 deadline. Employees will need to complete all four of the training modules in order to restore their access to the Georgia Tech systems.  

Eligible employees are encouraged to apply for educational assistance through the Tuition Assistance Program and Staff Tuition Reimbursement Assistance Program. The application and approval period ends Nov. 15.  

Finance and Planning is continually working to add to and improve the trainings that are available to financial administrators across campus. These improvements produce increased productivity and a better understanding of the various financial systems and tools to support excellence in our administrative processes. 

Generations of Yellow Jackets will come together to celebrate Georgia Tech's Homecoming the week of Oct. 23 – 28. Events throughout the week will honor Institute traditions leading up to the Homecoming football game against the North Carolina Tar Heels.
