281—22.2(261E) Student eligibility. A student is eligible if the student satisfies the provisions of Iowa Code section 261E.3(1). If the student was absent for the most recent administration of the statewide assessment, and such absence was not excused by the student’s school of enrollment, the student is deemed not to be proficient in any of the content areas. Measures of college readiness may be jointly agreed upon by the school board and the eligible postsecondary institution that allow a student to demonstrate competency in one or all of the required subject areas. Institutions will ensure the following:
	22.2(1) The measures of college readiness align with the proficiency levels established for the statewide assessment and reflect the competence of entering first-year students at the postsecondary institution.
	22.2(2) The measures of college readiness are specified in a contract entered into by the participating institutions.
