Does your university offer ice skating as a course? Our rink just recently started offering it as a course and if that were the case, it might also be an option to either take the class that way (sounds like it might be too basic or more expensive) or talk to the instructor of that course as well.
Maybe you could take the partial class that way and take a couple lessons from a private coach too?
Or find a rink near your school, that offers lessons Basic Skills classes - they are fairly well standardized - and take that in addition to the first few weeks of BS where you are now.
If you are truly devoted, you could go to the area of your school early, camping out at inexpensive campgrounds (e.g., National Forests), and take the whole course in that area...
Maybe that's way too hard core. A few schools rent campus housing cheaply when school is not in session, if you ask, so that's an option too.
Does your college have a Physical Education requirement for your class year? You could always talk to your Dean to see if skating lessons would be allowed to meet that requirement. They might want to see paperwork, like something from the rink saying you "passed" the course. (USFS does itself not offer such certification for BS classes. They don't even know if you passed.) It's not real likely, but who knows til you ask?
Yeah, I know you could have figured out these ideas yourself. We can't really give you advise on what you want to do to have fun.
The easiest way to find a temporary coach would just be to ask your favorite group lesson coach.
