Hagrid is in the House!

AAAAAGH!

So, yesterday was the first day of classes. I still didn't have my schedule nailed down, so I went up to campus to meet with my adviser, to ask for advice on what classes to take, since I was having trouble finding a class that fit my needs that wasn't full.

A note on her door read, "On vacation for 2 weeks. For advising needs, go to the Academic Advising Office."

AAAAAAGH!

So I went to the Academic Advising Office, and met with the same adviser who had guided me into the general studies program last year, when it became clear I couldn't cut it in the computer science program.

I explained my situation -- that I needed 32 credits (2 quarters) to graduate -- and she looked over my transcript, and asked, "Who told you you needed 2 quarters to graduate?"

"My adviser," I replied.

She looked over my paperwork again. "I don't think that's correct. It looks like you have enough here to graduate in June. You only need 12 credits of 300/400 level classes to fulfill the graduation requirements."

"WHAT?!?!" I nearly fell out of my chair.

"I don't know what your adviser was thinking, but I don't think I'm wrong. I think you can graduate this quarter. My advice is for you to go get a second opinion at the registrar's office."

After gratefully thanking her, and taking some suggestions for her for classes to register for this quarter, I went to the Registrar's office. I had a very brief meeting with the woman who evaluated credits for graduation, and she did a very cursory look over my paperwork. She said she didn't see anything amiss that would prevent me from graduating this quarter, but she wanted to see my adviser's sheet (which I hadn't brought with me, unfortunately). She asked me to bring it in the next day, and she'd go over it.

Which means today, I will find out for sure, but it's looking promising that I only have 11 weeks until I graduate!
