281—22.10(261E) Student eligibility. Student eligibility is described in Iowa Code section 261E.6(6). Persons who have graduated from high school are not eligible for this program. Students who are not residents of Iowa are not eligible.
	22.10(1) A student enrolled in an accredited nonpublic school who meets all eligibility requirements may apply to take courses under this division in the school district where the accredited nonpublic school is located, provided that neither the accredited nonpublic school nor the school district offers a comparable course.
	22.10(2) A student under competent private instruction who meets the eligibility requirements in this chapter may apply to take courses under this division through the public school district in which the student is dually enrolled, provided that the resident school district does not offer a comparable course.
	22.10(3) Postsecondary institutions may require students to meet appropriate standards or requirements for entrance into a course, which may include prerequisite courses, scores on national academic aptitude and achievement tests, or other evaluation procedures to determine competency. Acceptance of a student into a course by a postsecondary institution is not a guarantee that a student will be enrolled in all requested courses. Priority may be given to postsecondary students before eligible secondary students are enrolled in courses. However, once an eligible secondary student has enrolled in a postsecondary course, the student cannot be displaced by another student for the duration of the course. Students must take the course for credit (no auditing of courses allowed) and meet all of the requirements of the course that are required of postsecondary students.
