Do I qualify for the DCP? (question about semesters/credits)

[Nensense]

So I technically am in my second semester of college as I took one 3 credit class last semester, and am taking two 3 credit classes this semester and so I applied for the DCP. But do they count semesters just as how many semesters you've been to the school? Or do they count semesters in terms of credits earned? Because by the end of this current semester I will only have 9 completed credits which worries me as I really want to do the college program, and are they lenient at all with the credits thing as well?. I also have my phone interview scheduled for next week

They count semesters as actual semesters done (you have to have completed an actual college semester to do the CP). I did my first CP after my first semester in college

To clarify a little more, when Disney uses the word semester in this case they are referring to a length of time, not the number of classes or credit hours. As long as you took one class, earning any number of credits during whatever time period you school considers a semester then you have completed 1 semester in Disney's eyes.

Your most accurate answer will come from College Recruiting- wdw.college.recruiting@disney.com

I think you should call your school first and ask them. When I asked at my school they said that I had to have 12 credits in order to apply. I did a 3 credit class last semester so I HAD to take 9 this semester. It may be different at all schools but this is what my school said I had to do.
