It's more complicated than that. It matters why you don't qualify too. For instance if you're short credits you just need to complete the missing course work. With Hasan it was always a question of what exactly was required, he had originally intended to be here this fall. But no word thus far if that will actually happen.
Me thinks it was a combo of missing coursework due to Katrina and ACT, so I think he needed to finish said coursework and then have an acceptable ACT score. If he wasn't able to achieve that then I think he was going to have to complete his two year to qualify. But it wasn't a given that he had to finish the two year when he enrolled at Blinns.
