However, this waiver is set to end on the latest of June 30, 2023; the last day of the payment period that begins on or before June 30, 2023; or the last day of the first payment period following the end of the foreign authority's qualifying emergency.)</p> <p>Under this bill, a foreign IHE program is eligible to participate in federal student-aid programs if</p> <ul> <li>not more than 12.5% of the program consists of courses offered principally through distance education,</li> <li>the foreign IHE has been evaluated and determined by an outside oversight entity (e.g., an accrediting agency) to have the capability to effectively deliver distance education programs, and</li> <li>the students receiving federal student aid are physically present in the country where the foreign IHE is located during the distance education instruction.</li> </ul>
