How to Contact OCS
All faculty, students, and staff with questions about OCS services should direct their questions through 4Help.  They can be accessed at 231-HELP (231-4357) or http://www.4help.vt.edu; Online Course Systems continues to work with 4Help and answers.vt.edu to ensure consistent, quality support for the educational technologies we support. If you receive an invalid certificate error when you go to the 4Help web form, most likely you need to install the VT Root Certificates. You can get more information about what that is and how to install it.
