So bad that the ATP are doing this but not the WTA. Not surprising though.

Given that the ITA say:
Todays aspiring players are the future lifeblood of our sport, and we must do everything we can to provide them opportunities to reach their potential, ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said in a press release. Were thrilled to be opening new doors to the American College system, which has been a bedrock of talent in our game for decades.

In addition, players who remain in college and qualify for the programme will receive six opportunities over six months (JulyDecember), enabling them to benefit from the programme during their college offseason and parts of their individual fall season.

I cant see why the same doesnt apply to the collegiate women players they are student-athletes too, have to study, maintain GPA and play for their college in dual season, even if lucky enough to be allowed to play on the WTA in the Fall.
Id be very interested in the rationale behind this decision and wondering how many women were involved in it!
