Section 487(c) of the Higher Education
Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) requires that the Secretary of
Education prescribe regulations to ensure that any funds
postsecondary institutions receive under the HEA are used solely
for the purposes specified in, and in accordance with, the
provision of the applicable programs. The Institutional Eligibility
regulations govern the initial and continuing eligibility of
postsecondary educational institutions participating in the student
financial assistance program authorized by Title IV of the HEA. An
institution must use this Application to apply for approval to be
determined to be eligible and if the institution wishes, to
participate; to expand its eligibility; or to continue to
participate in the Title IV programs. An institution must also use
the application to report certain required data as part of its
recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations under 34
CFR Part 600 (Institutional Eligibility under the HEA). The
Department uses the information reported on the Application in its
determination of whether an institution meets the statutory and
regulatory requirements.
