Problem-Solving Resources for Undergraduates

Most problems encountered by undergraduates at The University of Iowa are minor and easily addressed, but sometimes problems are more significant and may benefit from help from others.  Students always can talk with friends, family members, advisors, RAs, professors, TAs, department or college administrators, or any faculty or staff member about a concern.  In addition, a number of offices on campus are available to help students with difficulties; see the listings below.  If students aren’t sure who to call, the following offices can help:
