It's important to note that some colleges restrict the number of credits you can take/earn during the time between high school graduation and college matriculation.

My alma mater, Purdue, permits incoming freshmen to take a gap year (but not purely due to Coronavirus [0]). During that year, the would-be freshmen may not take >=12 credit hours of courses or else their admission will be rescinded and the freshmen would be required to reapply as a transfer student [1].

Behavior like this and the for-credit/not-for-credit distinction (for the same class!) is some rent-seeking, power-imbalance nonsense. I hope we figure out a better way.

I would disagree. If you were accepted, but then had significant changes to your application you should reapply.

It makes sense that an acceptance is good for 3 months, and then you’ll need to reapply after that. If you went to a new school, the reapplication process is different.

Pick a better college than this one then. There are plenty.
