Section 283.21.12. Initial registration application fees and subsequent annual fees.

         21.12(1) A school that applies for initial registration as required under Iowa Code chapter 261B shall remit an initial registration application fee payable to the commission in the amount of $5,000. This fee is nonrefundable regardless of the commission’s decision with respect to the school’s eligibility for registration in Iowa. A school that fails to pay the initial registration application fee shall be denied initial registration consideration.

         21.12(2) A school that is approved for registration shall remit an annual fee payable to the commission in the amount due on July 15 of each year. If a school’s registration terminates during a year, the school shall pay the annual fee to the commission if the school’s registration is valid as of July 15 of that year. The annual fee is nonrefundable and will be assessed based on a school’s full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment as follows:

            ●       Under 2,500 FTE – $2,000.

            ●       2,500 to 9,999 FTE – $4,000.

            ●       10,000 FTE or more – $6,000.

         21.12(3) A school that registers and pays fees under rule 283—21.12(261B,261G) is not required to pay fees under rule 283—21.15(261B,261G) if participating in the interstate reciprocity agreement.
