Except as otherwise provided in this section, if a student who would otherwise have been eligible for a South Dakota opportunity scholarship applies after completing at least one semester of full-time work at a regionally accredited university, college, or technical college, the student shall demonstrate compliance with the same credit hour requirements that apply to program participants. A scholarship provided under these circumstances is not retroactive and a student’s eligibility is reduced by one semester for each semester of work that the student had completed.
