281—97.7(261E) Concurrent enrollment program contracts between accredited nonpublic schools and community colleges.

1. 97.7(1)  Eligibility. To be eligible for supplementary weighting, a course will comply with Iowa Code section 257.11(3).
2. 97.7(2)  Reporting and billing. An accredited nonpublic school that enters into a contract for concurrent enrollment courses will submit student and course information as determined by and according to the timeline established by the department. The community college and accredited nonpublic school will verify the submitted information by semesters or the equivalent. Projected supplementary weighting calculations will be available midyear, but payments to community colleges will not be disbursed until final costs are known at the end of the school year. Community colleges will not bill the accredited nonpublic school until all calculations of supplementary weighting for accredited nonpublic schools are completed.

For the purpose of determining funding to the community college, subject to an appropriation to the department for this purpose, a student enrolled in a unit of concurrent enrollment coursework offered through a contract by an accredited nonpublic school with an Iowa community college pursuant to Iowa Code section 261E.8(2) will be counted as if the student were assigned a weighting as described in subrule 97.2(5).
