    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, the

maintains satisfactory progress in a master's or post-doctoral program 

of study; and

maintains satisfactory progress in a doctoral program of study.

    (b) Subject to the availability of funds, and if an IHE provides

beyond the Fellow's control, is unable to complete the program of study 

in that period.
