Will I be able to qualify for OCS on time through enlisting with some college credits from 1 year of attending university?

I left my school because I thought ROTC won't be a quality experience and training. Also college cost way too much when someone just reads a slide for me during lectures when I could be doing online and study for myself. I understand you need a bachelor's degree to go for OCS, but can I make it on time(TIS Cut off 6 years) to complete a degree while I serve active duty?

Not a fan of someone reading a slide to you during a class/lecture? Oh man.....are you ever in for a surprise when you enter the military.

If someone is current military, they have to have at least 90 semester hours of college credits toward a degree and be able to complete the Bachelor's within one year.
If you're a civilian applicant, you'll have to be 19-32 years old and be a college graduate with a Bachelor's degree - and go to basic training before OCS.
That's what I'm finding in searches.

I had a soldier apply and be accepted to OCS. Like SFC Kelly Fuerhoff mentioned, you must have 90 credits towards your degree and be able to complete your degree PRIOR to being promotable to CPT.
