@RoMark I completely understand - we are from CA also and it’s really frustrating all the way around. Not everyone is a 4.0 student - although on CC it sure seems that way!
SLO isn’t the best school to try different majors. They make it very, very difficult to change, so something to think about. My D’s friend is having to jump through tons of hoops to change, and it may not even happen.
Good luck!
