My daughter received the same, but sees no reason to appeal. Pass 3 courses with a C-, maintain a 2.7 gpa, and she should be able to seamlessly transfer as of sophomore year.
The 3 courses include 2 entry-level CS courses, as well as Calc I. She should be able to check that last one off with AP credit she’ll likely get in the spring with her AP exam.

My daughter too. Some schools do this spring admit thing to help with housing, I believe. More students studying abroad second semester.

The link to Freshman Connection implies they can have on-campus housing in the Fall?
Yes, they can.
Do you know why they do it then? trying to understand the negatives/positives.

I think they’d rather offer spring admission than defer/deny. It’s confusing and I’m not a fan of them doing this.
In reality though, not a whole lot of difference.
(Edited to add: the biggest difference is the restrictions on class registration. Freshman Connect students have to take evening classes).
