Provision in the regulations in Subpart J--Approval of Independently

used to determine a student's eligibility for assistance for the Title
IV student financial assistance programs authorized under the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) when, among other conditions,
the student does not have a high school diploma or its recognized
equivalent.
