They actually say in the first episode of v2 that the second semester is starting soon, and thats why Ruby wants to plan some fun. If we say that it follow the typical three semester year, it means they're about three (maybe four) months into the school year. The only way they'd let him in is if he transferred from another school, and you'd need a decent reason to transfer (other than 'his parents moved', because Pyhrra came all the way from Mistral to study at Beacon, and Sun grew up in Mistral to study at Vacuo, so trans-continental transport isn't that rare. Especially as they seem to be dorm-based instead of just day schools).
