    Abstract: These regulations require institutions to provide a 
method for a Federal Pell Grant eligible student to obtain or purchase, 
by the seventh day of a payment period, the books and supplies required 
for the payment period when certain conditions are met. If, 10 days 
before the beginning of the payment period the institution could 
disburse Title IV, Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) 
program funds for which the student was eligible, and if disbursed a 
credit balance would result, the institution is required to provide to 
the student the lesser of the presumed credit balance or the amount 
needed by the student for books and supplies, as determined by the 
institution.
