Required Information
In order to qualify for the “Full-time Student Deduction”, the family must provide the following
school verification and documentation to SDHC in a timely manner for each full-time student. A
separate page containing any information not listed on the transcript must be obtained from the
school and attached to the transcript before it is submitted to SDHC. Please include the full name of
Head of Household on the top of each page.
- School name and mailing address
- Student’s name
- Transcript of student’s complete enrollment history, including the current term. Note: If the
student has not been enrolled long enough to have a transcript, they must provide written
school verification of their current enrollment status
- The equivalency for the enrolled units listed on the transcript (full-time, part-time, not
enrolled, withdrawn, etc.) Unless otherwise specified by the school, full-time student status
equals 12 or more units/hours
- The Full-time Student Certification form must be signed and dated by the Head of
Household and each adult student. (Your Housing Assistant (HA) will provide this form to
you during the review process.)
Change in Student’s Status
When there is a change in the student’s status, a written notice to SDHC is required within ten (10)
days of the change.
Note: Full-time student status will not be approved if information is missing from the form.
The SDHC form must be signed and dated by the Head of Household and each adult full-time
student in order to acknowledge their understanding of the following:
- A complete transcript of student’s enrollment history, including the current term, must be
obtained from the school. The transcript and or supporting verification must include all
required information.
- The SDHC may conduct periodic follow-up verifications to ensure students are enrolled fulltime
as reported (the student may be required to provide additional documentation as
deemed appropriate).
- Any changes to the enrollment status from full-time to a lesser level must be reported in
writing within ten (10) days. The case will then be re-evaluated, and may result in an
increase to the rent portion.
- If the student did not maintain his/her full-time status and assistance was overpaid, a
repayment agreement will be executed.
