veterinary school is eligible to apply to participate in the FFEL 

programs.



    (a) The Secretary considers a foreign veterinary school to be 

eligible to apply to participate in the FFEL programs if, in addition to 

satisfying the criteria in Sec. 600.54 (except the criterion that the 

institution be public or private nonprofit), the school satisfies all of 

the following criteria:

    (1) The school provides, and in the normal course requires its 

students to complete, a program of clinical and classroom veterinary 

instruction that is supervised closely by members of the school's 

faculty, and that is provided either--

    (i) Outside the United States, in facilities adequately equipped and 

staffed to afford students comprehensive clinical and classroom 

veterinary instruction; or

    (ii) In the United States, through a training program for foreign 

veterinary students that has been approved by all veterinary licensing 

boards and evaluating bodies whose views are considered relevant by the 

Secretary.

    (2) The school has graduated classes during each of the two twelve-

month periods immediately preceding the date the Secretary receives the 

school's request for an eligibility determination.

    (3) The school employs for the program described in paragraph (a)(1) 

of this section only those faculty members whose academic credentials 

are the equivalent of credentials required of faculty members teaching 

the same or similar courses at veterinary schools in the United States.

    (4) For a veterinary school that is neither public nor private non-

profit, the school's students complete their clinical training at an 

approved veterinary school located in the United States.
