A Note From IVETS
We are entering into our last few weeks on campus together before the move to virtual instruction only after Thanksgiving break. Our staff remains available to you Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. virtually, with updated in-person hours for our 2706 UCC office.
A Note from IVETS
As you settle into classes and gear up for midterms, we hope you’re taking time to enjoy the sweater weather and the virtual Homecoming events. The computer lab and lounge may be closed for the rest of the fall semester, but the benefits office in 2706 UCC is open, and we are all here for you via phone, Zoom, and email. Printing is still available, too! And, mark your calendars—Wednesday, November 11th is Veterans Day, and we will be honoring our Hawkeye Veterans and current service members throughout that week.
A Note from IVETS
Welcome and welcome back! The situation we’re facing this semester is unprecedented, but we know you have the resiliency and determination it takes to succeed.

We'd love to see you!
We’re excited to support you this semester. Stay safe, mask up, and go Hawks!
