Accessible Resources

The ABLE Peer Mentor Program Program pairs first-year Cyclones and other students who have just been found eligible for services through Student Accessibility Services (SAS) with current students with disabilities to assist with the transition to Iowa State. Mentors and mentees engage in regular interactions, discussions, and activities to improve task initiation (e.g., talking to professors about accommodations, participating in group projects), self-regulation (e.g., self-accountability, coping skills, etc.), time management, and organization.

This service has limited spots available each semester. If you are a freshmen with accommodations looking to be paired with a mentor, complete the survey below. 

Alliance for Disability Awareness (ADA):

Our student organization advocates for accessibility and flexibility for all at ISU, practicing disability justice at our own pace, re-energizing with social events, and providing a supportive space for each other. Join other students with many disabilities to grow a community and advocate for your rights. If you are interested in joining or learning more, click the link below!

Academic coaching is a one-on-one program within the Academic Success Center where you meet weekly with a coach for an hour to work on academic goals related to succeeding in college life. Coaching can specifically target skills like time management, advocacy, procrastination, and much more through a personalized approach to meet your goals!

If you are interested in participating, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Academic Success Center to get started!

Recently established in the Fall of 2023, Accountability Groups are designed to support students who may struggle to independently maintain accountability in their academic responsibilities. Now led by ABLE Mentors and Academic Skills Coaches, accountability groups are facilitated in a structured setting and promote focus and productivity. This method, also known as body doubling, will allow students to work and study in a space with few distractions and mentors to help. We aim to help boost motivation and productivity, learn helpful study tips, and develop positive academic habits.
