If for any reason the course is not held, ISEA will refund the registration fee paid.

It is the registrant’s responsibility to check with district policy regarding lane change requirements. Each class registration has a syllabus attached to it as you click on the registration link at the top left-hand side of the page. You may also request a course syllabus in advance if your district needs to review it prior to enrollment. If you need further information related to the classification of a course, please contact Rhonda Plimmer, ISEA registrar at rhonda.plimmer@isea.org or 515-471-8052.

You may enroll in a maximum of 12 graduate credit hours in one semester through ISEA Academy/Iowa Safe Schools.

Below is the letter that was sent to students from Drake’s Director of Student Account Services on December 15, 2017, regarding the tax form 1098-T:

Dear Student,

Drake University must get your correct tax identification number (TIN) to file certain information returns with the IRS and to furnish a statement to you. For students, this will be your social security number (SSN) or, if you are not eligible to obtain an SSN, your individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). The returns we must file contain information about qualified tuition and related expenses (Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement) and student loan interest (Form 1098-E, Student Loan Interest Statement). The information about your tuition will help to determine whether you, or the person who can claim you as a dependent, may take either the tuition and fees deduction or claim an education credit to reduce federal income tax. The information about your student loan interest will help to determine your deduction for such interest. For more information, see Pub. 970, Tax Benefits for Education.

If you fail to furnish your correct SSN or ITIN to Drake University, you are subject to an IRS penalty of $50 unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

For your convenience, we have attached a copy of IRS Form W-9S “Request for Student’s or Borrower’s Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification.” Please complete Part 1 of this form, sign it and return it to Drake University. We do not need you to complete Part 2. You may scan the completed WS-9 and e-mail it to: stuacct@drake.edu. You may also mail the form to: Student Accounts Office, Drake University, 2507 University Ave., Des Moines IA 50311-4505. Alternatively, you may bring your Social Security card to the Registrar’s office located in Old Main, Room 104, so we may record your number there.

At the time of your enrollment you may have furnished your TIN to QEP, an AEA or other agency you enrolled through. For privacy reasons these agencies have not provided this information to Drake, which is why we are making this request.

Recent scams in the credit card industry have made all of us wary of disclosing personal information, such as Social Security numbers, but please be assured that this is a legitimate request that we are making of you as required by federal law. You are welcome to call our office to confirm that this is a legitimate request. Please do not, for security reasons, give us your TIN over the phone.

Thank you for your prompt response to this request.
