About

As part of the Center for Inclusive and Academic Excellence (CIAE), Campus Outreach Services (COS) provides one-on-one academic coaching and facilitates academic and cultural services geared toward supporting:

• Students with disabilities
• Students with marginalized racial/ethnic identities
• First-generation college students
• Low-income students
• LGBTQ+ students

Interested in meeting with an Academic Coach? You can schedule an appointment in three ways:

1. To request an individual appointment, please email ddei-ciae@uiowa.edu. TRIO SSS students, please email ddei-ciae@uiowa.edu if you’d like to meet with an Academic Coach in COS.
2. If you are an Advantage Iowa scholar, but not a TRIO SSS student, you should have received an email with information on signing up for a group meeting with your assigned coach using SignUpGenius. If you can't find that email, please send an email to ddei-ciae@uiowa.edu, and they can help you connect with your coach.
3. If you've already participated in a group meeting with your assigned coach, feel free to email them about having an additional, individual meeting--and if you'd rather meet with someone else, you can email cde@uiowa.edu.

Under normal circumstances, the Academic Coaches meet with students in scheduled appointments or walk-in meetings. Due to COVID-19, we are not currently taking any in-person appointments, and walk-in appointments are therefore unavailable.
