Rule 283-21.5 - Additional criteria for an out-of-state applicant school that applies for registration to offer programs via in-person instruction but in a nontraditional format

(1) In addition to meeting the approval criteria in rule 283-21.3 (261B,261G), an out-of-state school that applies for registration to offer programs via in-person instruction but in a nontraditional format shall notify the commission in writing within 90 days of the date that the school establishes a new Iowa location at which Iowa students will receive instruction in the school's nontraditional program. Notification to the commission via electronic mail is acceptable. If the school's accrediting agency requires preapproval of the new Iowa location, the school's notice to the commission must include a copy of that accrediting agency's approval. If the school's accrediting agency does not require preapproval of the new Iowa location, the school must certify that accrediting agency approval is not required. Such a school is not required to submit a registration amendment request under subrule 21.3(12).

(2) For the purposes of this rule, "nontraditional format" includes, but is not limited to, the following:

a. A program offered partially via distance education and partially via in-person instruction at a location in Iowa by faculty or instructors compensated by the applicant school.

b. A program offered partially at the applicant school's out-of-state campus and partially via in-person instruction at a location in Iowa by faculty or instructors compensated by the applicant school.

c. A program offered at a location in Iowa through compressed courses scheduled on Saturday or Sunday.

d. A program offered only during the summer months.

e. A program offered at temporary locations in Iowa where the school identifies cohorts of students who have expressed interest in the program.
