Scheduling OCS Appointments - Use the online system!

Posted by Laura Hosid at 12:45 PM - Categories: OCS / OPICS News | All class years

Just a reminder that the best and most efficient way to schedule an appointment with an OCS counselor is to use the online appointment system.  You can also call 202-662-9300 during business hours.  Please do not e-mail your counselor directly about scheduling an appointment.  

If you would like your counselor to review any materials – resume, cover letter, etc. – please e-mail the materials  directly to your counselor at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment.  OCS counselors’ contact information and biographies are available at http://www.law.georgetown.edu/career/ocsinfo/contact.htm.   

Beginning next week, OCS will have daily walk-in hours when you can stop by to chat briefly with a counselor.  Stay tuned to the blog for an update on when these hours will be.
