# §690.7. Institutional participation.

- (a) If an institution begins participation in the Federal Pell Grant Program during an award year, a student enrolled and attending that institution is eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant for the payment period during which the institution enters into a program participation agreement with the Secretary and any subsequent payment period.
- (b) If an institution becomes ineligible to participate in the Federal Pell Grant Program during an award year, an eligible student who was attending the institution and who submitted a valid SAR to the institution, or for whom the institution obtained a valid ISIR, before the date the institution became ineligible is paid a Federal Pell Grant for that award year for—
  - (1) The payment periods that the student completed before the institution became ineligible; and
  - (2) **The payment period in which the institution became ineligible.**
- (c)
  - (1) If an institution loses its eligibility to participate in the Direct Loan program under the provisions of subpart [M](/cfr/34/subpartM.md) or [N](/cfr/34/subpartN.md) of [34 CFR part 668](/cfr/34/part668.md), it also loses its eligibility to participate in the Federal Pell Grant Program for the same period of time.
  - (2) That loss of eligibility must be in accordance with the provisions of 668.187(d) or 668.206(d).
- (d) An institution which becomes ineligible shall, within 45 days after the effective date of loss of eligibility, provide to the Secretary—
