Sec. 690.75  Determination of eligibility for payment.

    (a) For each payment period, an institution may pay a Federal Pell 
Grant to an eligible student only after it determines that the student--
    (1) Qualifies as an eligible student under 34 CFR Part 668, Subpart 
C;
    (2) Is enrolled in an eligible program as an undergraduate student; 
and
    (3) If enrolled in a credit hour program without terms or a clock 
hour program, has completed the payment period as defined in Sec. 668.4 
for which he or she has been paid a Federal Pell Grant.
    (b) If an institution determines at the beginning of a payment 
period that a student is not maintaining satisfactory progress, but 
reverses that determination before the end of the payment period, the 
institution may pay a Federal Pell Grant to the student for the entire 
payment period.
    (c) If an institution determines at the beginning of a payment 
period that a student is not maintaining satisfactory progress, but 
reverses that determination after the end of the payment period, the 
institution may neither pay the student a Federal Pell Grant for that 
payment period nor make adjustments in subsequent Federal Pell Grant 
payments to compensate for the loss of aid for that period.
    (d) A member of a religious order, community, society, agency of or 
organization who is pursuing a course of study in an institution of 
higher education is considered to have an expected family contribution 
amount at least equal to the maximum authorized award amount for the 
award year if that religious order--
    (1) Has as a primary objective the promotion of ideals and beliefs 
regarding a Supreme Being; and
    (2) Provides subsistence support to its members, or has directed the 
member to pursue the course of study.
