What is Freshman Connection, really?

I understand that some students get spring admits for UMD. But then they can enroll in FC, where they can attend classes and live on campus. So how is that different from regular admittance? I mean, I know the FC classes are at off-peak class times but other than that … why have this program? Seems like it would be easier to just restrict some freshman to when they can enroll in classes.
