Thanks to all of you for your sympathy and concern. As I informed some who commented on the entry, what I described actually did occur, but the ending is different.
When I went to do my major evaluation with Julie Marx, the CS program adviser, we discovered that it was going to be rather ugly. One required upper-level class had been swapped out to an elective for my catalog year and had not been replaced with any other class. This created a "hole" in the required upper-level classes, so I could actually fulfill the CS major's degree requirements without meeting the university's. To compensate, we concocted some horrible schedules that involved taking two geology classes simultaneously, etc.
I went to fill out my graduation application, and discovered that it didn't have to be that bad. I went back to Julie and asked if we could work something else out, and we found a schedule that worked much better. It was pretty much beyond fortunate that everything lined up. Feeling smug about my new schedule and graduation app, I printed up another app and turned it in.
Last Wednesday I got the eval back. It contained my current schedule, which was legit, and marked as missing another 4 credits of upper-level coursework. It's too late to be signing up for classes, so if the registrar's evaluation was true, I was up shit creek.
Somehow I managed not to panic too much, and took the sheet back to Julie. She reassured me that she was aware of the discrepancy and had discussed it with the registrar. Apparently CS was counting a 200-level statistics class that I transferred with as an upper-level credit, and the registrar's office wasn't. So she wrote a letter to the credit evaluator, signed it and had me pass it on to the registrar. I haven't heard back, but she assured me that things were gonna be fine.
So if you panicked, rest assured that I did much the same thing, but Julie had my back and things are cool.
