    3. Persons who move into the Susquehanna Township School District from a non-sponsoring district must reside here for a period of six (6) months prior to enrollment at HACC and must be a U.S. citizen to qualify for residency tuition rate.

    4. A certificate of residency will be valid only during the fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) in which they are issued. There will be no retroactive certification after the close of any semester.

    5. Persons liable for and delinquent in payment of per capita or occupation taxes shall not be eligible for a certificate of residency.

    6. To be eligible, a person's high school class must be graduated or the person granted early admission in accordance with the District's early admission policy.
