(b) If the offender's expected release date changes as the result of the loss of educational credit or good time credit after notice is sent to each court under this section, the offender may become ineligible for a community transition program.
(c) If the offender's expected release date changes as the result of the gain of educational credit or good time credit after notice is sent to each court under this section, the offender may be assigned to a community transition program if the department determines that:

(2) an offender will have at least thirty (30) days remaining on the offender's sentence after the court's consideration of a written statement under subdivision (1), calculated as follows:
