SECTION 612:10-7-149. College and university training

(a)   Training for rehabilitation clients is provided in those colleges and universities which are accredited by the appropriate accrediting agency, whose credits will be given full recognition by other accredited colleges and universities, and which are under contract. Private and denominational colleges and universities may be used for the training of DRS clients, provided they are accredited and under contract.

(b)   Clients approved for college or university training must exhibit the ability to do college work. The counselor will have evidence in the case file indicating the client's ability to do college work before a program is developed calling for training at the college or university level.

(c)   For DVR and DVS clients pursuing a college or university degree, the Department will sponsor only the number of semester hours or remaining hours required for a specific degree. Exceptions may be approved by the counselor.

(d)   Previously completed credit hours which are applicable to the degree requirements will be incorporated in the development of the IPE. When a client changes majors, DVR and DVS funding will be limited to the number of credit hours needed for the new major minus the number of DVR and DVS funded credit hours lost due to the change in majors, unless the change in majors results from circumstances beyond the client's control.
