Funding Your Career Choices

Various programs exist to help pay your student loans. The Law School's Loan Repayment Assistance Program is administered by OCS and assists graduates entering public service. The College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 and other legislation help graduates in public service as well as those pursuing other careers under specific circumstances.  The William & Mary Office of Student Financial Aid can also provide information about federal public service loan forgiveness.

Reciprocity

Many, but not all, law schools provide reasonable access to their career resources for graduates of other law schools. Each law school has its own reciprocity policy; the type of services will vary among schools. Most schools' requirements can be found at the National Association for Law Placement's web site. If, having reviewed a school's reciprocity policy, you wish to seek reciprocity, please complete a Request for Reciprocity and return it to OCS. We will submit the request ot the specified school and you will be notified of its response. If you have questions, please contact Career Services Coordinator [[jawaskey, Julie Waskey]].

Information about ordering an official transcript is available from the Office of the University Registrar.
