<p>Here is the wording:
Transfer applicants are students who have earned twenty-four or more semester hours (one full year) of college credit after graduating from high school. Students interested in spring admission must have 24 credit hours earned and completed prior to the October 1 application deadline. For this reason it is highly unlikely that a student in the first year of college would be permitted to apply as a spring transfer applicant.</p>
<p>Notice the wording-‘after graduating from high school’ and ‘earned twenty-four hours (one full year) of college credit’ </p>
