In addition to providing legal services, the OGC works with other University offices to provide training sessions and seminars on a broad range of subjects and assists in drafting and implementing a variety of University policies and procedures.  The OGC provides legal services only after a request has been approved by the President or a University Vice President.    Those who wish to obtain services from the OGC should submit a  request for legal services to the appropriate University Vice President.  A request may be submitted electronically via the OGC website, although that request will be forwarded to a Vice President for action before the OGC renders the requested service.
