Running Late/No Show
We understand that you may sometimes run late or need to reschedule an office hour appointment. When we make your appointment, please understand we are reserving time for you to speak with a director. This courtesy makes it possible to assist the research community in a timely manner. Please reach out to oprs@usc.edu as soon as possible if you are running late or if you are no longer able to attend. You are given a 10-minute grace period after which your office hours will need to be rescheduled. No-show appointments will not be given priority when rescheduling.
