AP Credit Confusion

<p>So I got emailed by my college today and they said they accepted my AP english credit (5) so I got 3 credits for it for the fall. The thing is, I am taking a FWS in the fall because I only have to take one. But on the email it also said:
Please note that if you complete a course that AP has placed you out of, you will lose this AP credit (EX: you received 4 credits for AP math AB, you then take MATH 1110, you will lose the AP math AB credit).
So since I'm taking a FWS, I will lose the AP Credit?
I'm really confused. And I would rather those credits go to my Spring semester? Can I do that? Or does it not really matter.</p>
