H4 --> F1. Any restrictions on timing ?

OK here is the scenario.

If someone is on H4 and studying for a course at a college/University

a) Can they convert visa from H4 to F1
b) Is there a time limit for doing so. ( ex 1 yr before Graduation etc)

So can comeone change from H4 to F1 say 6 months before graduation ? That way they will get in state while on H4 but can also get OPT upon graduation.

Can someone please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks
