<p>Okay, now I’ll agree this is super messed up if the information is not available online and only on that tiny little paper. It should be documented somewhere else, but I can’t seem to find it myself either. I still say it would have been best if you had looked at your CSAC and seen this issue early on, but there’s definitely a bit more going on than your original post suggested.</p>
<p>I would definitely call CSAC tomorrow if you can or at least at some point this week. Preferably tomorrow, though, as you need to know if there is any way you can proceed. I can see you being SOL simply because this was not dealt with from the beginning, though :(. And I keep saying this, but ask UCSB about if the Blue&Gold promise will still be in effect for you. I have a feeling it will based on my understanding of it.</p>
<p>In the end, everyone is just following the rules as written. However, I do find it a bit disturbing that not only is there apparently a 5 unit difference between what the campus and what the campus’ FA considers to be a frosh, but that the information does not seem to be easy to locate.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, was the difference only for frosh standing or did it extend to other standings as well? Do you recall any explanation for the difference?</p>
