State-Based Student Complaints Process


The Iowa College Student Aid Commission (the Commission) has overarching, statutory authority under Iowa Code Chapter 261B to determine the registration (i.e., licensure or authorization) status of postsecondary educational institutions that operate at a physical location within the State of Iowa or that offer distance education courses and programs to Iowa residents. In addition, the Commission administers provisions of Iowa’s student consumer protection laws in Iowa Code Section 714, 18, 714.19, 714.23, 714.24 that address financial responsibility for certain educational institutions, and, for proprietary institutions, a tuition refund policy for withdrawn students.

Persons who have questions about a postsecondary educational institution’s compliance with Iowa Code Chapter 261B, and Iowa Code Sections 714.18, 714.19, 714.23, and 714.24 should contact:

Jayne M. Smith, J.D.
Postsecondary Registration Administrator
Iowa College Student Aid Commission
515-725-0959
Jayne.Smith@iowa.gov

In addition, the Iowa College Student Aid Commission maintains a Student Complaint Review process that meets the conditions of federal regulations in 34 CFR 600.9(a)(1). These regulations state that a postsecondary educational institution located in a State is legally authorized by the State, in part, if the State has a process to review and appropriately act on complaints concerning the institution. The Commission accepts complaints from any student attending any postsecondary educational institution located in Iowa, and from any Iowa resident attending a postsecondary educational institution located in any other State.

Iowa College Aid has created a Student Complaint Form to accept a student’s questions, concerns, or complaints related to a postsecondary school. A student may also contact Iowa College Aid toll-free at 877-272-4456.

Transfer of Credit


EICC accepts transfer credit from colleges and universities accredited by the North Central Association of Schools or its regional affiliates. Credit for equivalent courses will be accepted to satisfy specific course requirements for graduation. The transfer credit received may vary depending on the academic program and college registrars will decide on elective credit or course substitutions on an individual basis. Transfer credit will be recorded on the EICC transcript after a transfer evaluation has been requested. Transfer grades are not used in the EICC grade point average.

From Career and Technical to Arts and Science Programs
The college reserves the right to refuse credit earned more than 10 years before the proposed program completion date. All credit earned at one of the colleges of EICC will transfer to another EICC college, with the limitations outlined above.

Credit earned in career and transfer courses at EICC or other accredited institutions may be accepted for an AA or AS program. A maximum of 16 hours of that credit may be accepted as elective credit for an Arts and Science degree.
