Appointment Instructions

• Video appointments will take place via Zoom or Google Meet. You will need a computer with a webcam or a tablet or phone with a camera, and you may need to download a browser plugin for Zoom. Your Career & Internship Advisor will provide a link to the virtual meeting through your university email and Google calendar. In your internet browser, click on the web address shared with you to start Zoom or Google Meet. If you have technical difficulties, you can send a message with your phone number to the OCPD staff member by clicking “Add Comment” in your appointment in Handshake. Then the appointment can switch to a phone appointment.
• Phone Appointments are also available to students and alumni. When making an appointment, be sure to include a phone number. OCPD staff member will call you at the number you provided at the time of your appointment. You will need to ensure your phone settings accept calls from unlisted/blocked numbers to ensure the call does not go directly to voicemail.
• In-person appointments will be conducted in the first floor of the Williams Center on the Statesboro Campus or the Student Success Center on the Armstrong Campus, unless otherwise noted below. Please arrive a few minutes early and check in at the front desk when you arrive. Statesboro appointments will be held in an open space to allow for maximum physical distancing. Staff members have an assigned area in the lab, and all visitors are required to wear a mask when they visit our space. Another student and Career & Internship Advisor may be meeting in the computer lab at the same time during your appointment, but 6 feet away. If you would like a more private option, please choose one of the other appointment mediums (phone or video) listed above.
  • **Parker College of Business students choosing in-person appointments will meet with their Career & Internship Advisor in the Parker Business Building on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
