Given the confusion the OP can document, this is a great idea and may give everyone a way out. SLO gets their requirement met, OP gets the school.
Another thing the OP can try is to see the counselor that they worked with and see if they can call SLO on his behalf.
In the end I think this was an unfortunate confusion. The OP went to see a counselor and wanted to be CSU eligible; the suggested courses by the counselor indeed meet the AA-T requirements so the OP is promised a place at a CSU campus. Just not at a particular campus. The OP didn’t ask if the plan met the requirement for all CSU campuses, although to be fair I doubt anyone would think to ask that.
not really. To argue their side of the issue you could say their requirements are clear and the articulated classes are published on ASSIST, it is the responsibility of applicants to check ASSIST and make sure they are met.
But this was an honest mistake, not an attempt to deceive. I think the idea of taking the class over the summer may be a solution everyone can live with. I suggest looking now at MSJC and other CC in the area to make sure the class is offered over the summer.
