If I’m not accepted to COIL for the first time, can I apply next term?
You are welcome and encouraged to reapply during the next application cycle. Our COIL call for participation opens twice a year, and you will have the opportunity to apply again in Fall 2026 to implement COIL in Spring 2027.
I have a great COIL idea that I want to create, but the Call for Participation deadline passed. What should I do?
We recommend staying connected and engaged with our COIL community. You can subscribe to the FIU COIL newsletter to receive updates, information on upcoming free events, and more ideas for collaboration. Attending these free events could help you refine your concept and potentially find an international partner to work with, which could greatly enhance your chances of being selected next time.
