TESU Study.com partnership only eligible for 21 years of age+

I am aware that on January 1, 2018, TESU changed their policy regarding admitting students younger than 18. However, I read in another thread that they are admitting students 18 years of age that have at least 24 credits.  My daughter is 18 and has 33 credits (26 from a university, 6 CLEP, 1 Sophia) so I didn't think this change would really affect her. However, I found the following on the TESU website:

Who is eligible?
Any Study.com student, who enrolled at Thomas Edison State University through Study.com after September 1, 2016, and is 21 years of age, is eligible for this program.

Study.com will need to be identified as the 'Partner Affiliation' on the student's original application to TESU.

So, TESU will make an exception and enroll her at 18, but she can't use the Study.com partnership until she is 21 if I'm reading this correctly.

I'm not sure how to advise her to proceed regarding applying. Apply now and forfeit the study.com affiliation (waiver reduction)? Apply when she is close to graduating and forfeit the benefit of locking into a catalog and having access to advising? She still might not be 21 when she does the latter.
