Iowa Admin. Code r. 650-52.2 - [Rescinded effective 4/9/2025] Military education, training, and service credit
A military service applicant may apply for credit for verified military education, training, or service toward any experience or educational requirement for licensure by submitting a military service application form to the board office.
(1) The completed military service
application may be submitted with an application for licensure or examination
or prior to an applicant's applying for licensure or to take an examination. No
fee is required with submission of an application for military service
credit.
(2) The applicant shall
identify the experience or educational licensure requirement to which the
credit would be applied if granted. Credit shall not be applied to an
examination requirement.
(3) The
applicant shall provide documents, military transcripts, a certified affidavit,
or forms that verify completion of the relevant military education, training,
or service, which may include, when applicable, the applicant's Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) or Verification of Military
Experience and Training (VMET) (DD Form 2586).
(4) Upon receipt of a completed military
service application, the board shall promptly determine whether the verified
military education, training, or service will satisfy all or any part of the
identified experience or educational licensure requirement.
(5) The board shall grant the application in
whole or in part if the board determines that the verified military education,
training, or service satisfies all or part of the experience or educational
qualifications for licensure.
(6)
The board shall inform the military service applicant in writing of the credit,
if any, given toward an experience or educational qualification for licensure
or explain why no credit was granted. The applicant may request reconsideration
upon submission of additional documentation or information.
(7) A military service applicant who is
aggrieved by the board's decision may request a contested case (administrative
hearing) and may participate in a contested case by telephone. A request for a
contested case shall be made within 30 days of issuance of the board's
decision. No fees or costs shall be assessed against the military service
applicant in connection with a contested case conducted pursuant to this
subrule.
(8) The board shall grant
or deny the military service application prior to ruling on the application for
licensure. The applicant shall not be required to submit any fees in connection
with the licensure application unless the board grants the military service
application. If the board does not grant the military service application, the
applicant may withdraw the licensure application or request that the licensure
application be placed in pending status for up to one year or as mutually
agreed. The withdrawal of a licensure application shall not preclude subsequent
applications supported by additional documentation or information.
