§ 691.80 Redetermination of eligibility for a grant award.
(a) Change in receipt of Federal Pell Grant. If, after the beginning of an award year, a student otherwise eligible for an ACG or a National SMART Grant begins or ceases to receive a Federal Pell Grant in that award year, the institution must redetermine the student's eligibility for an ACG or a National SMART Grant in that award year.
(b) Change in enrollment status. (1) If the student's enrollment status changes from one payment period to another within the same award year, the institution shall determine whether the student qualifies for an ACG or a National SMART Grant for the new payment period.
(2)(i) If the student's projected enrollment status changes during a payment period after the student has begun attendance in all of his or her classes for that payment period, the institution may (but is not required to) establish a policy under which the institution may redetermine eligibility for the student's award for the payment period. If such a policy is established, it must apply to all students and be the same as the policy established for the Federal Pell Grant Program.
(ii) If a student's projected enrollment status changes to less-than-full-time during a payment period before the student begins attendance in all of his or her classes for that payment period, the institution shall determine that the student is ineligible for a grant under this part for that payment period.
