UCSC Rescinded Admission

So my buddy had his admission rescinded from UCSC for drumroll please

Missing a transcript from a community college for one class taken there that is not in any way necessary for his admission. He only took the class for his own benefit. The transcript was supposed to arrive on July 1st, but he had totally forgotten about it since it was such an unimportant transcript (to him, at least.) Yesterday at 5 p.m., he was emailed a notice about how his admission has been rescinded due to a violation of his contract, which included meeting all deadlines.

Now I know that ultimately, the blame lies on him. But I’m pretty sure sending something (that’s objectively unimportant) a little over a week late isn’t worth ripping away four years of this kid’s life away from him.

I’m fairly sure that there’s some leniency on appeals written over missed deadlines. But I’d like to know if anyone’s been in the same boat and what the end result is. I’d also like some advice on how to word the letter of appeal.

Thanks alot–I appreciate any help we can get.
