Section 283.21.6. Additional approval criteria and exception for an out-of-state applicant school that applies for registration to offer distance education programs.

         21.6(1) An out-of-state school offering distance education programs is not required to register in Iowa if its home state approves the school to participate in a commission-approved interstate reciprocity agreement. If an out-of-state applicant school providing distance education programs in Iowa is not approved by the school’s home state to participate in a commission-approved interstate reciprocity agreement, in addition to meeting the approval criteria in rule 283—21.3(261B,261G), the out-of-state applicant school shall meet all of the following additional criteria:

            a.               The applicant school discloses the name and business contact information of any person compensated by the school (including by honorarium) to remotely provide instruction or academic supervision in the school’s distance education courses from any Iowa location.

            b.               The applicant school discloses the name, business contact information, and duties of any person the applicant school compensates to remotely perform operational activities from any Iowa location.

         21.6(2) Exception. If a school applies for registration solely to offer distance education programs that include a structured field experience in which the student will participate at an Iowa location and the applicant school maintains no other presence in Iowa as defined in Iowa Code section 261B.2, the school is not required to implement a policy that complies with Iowa Code section 261.9(1)“h.”
