“A computer coding issue is worrying prospective California State University students after their SAT and ACT scores failed to upload and attach to their applications.

 

2 Investigates was contacted on Thursday by a college advisor claiming students were running the risk of having their applications canceled.

 

A spokesperson for the 23-campus university system admitted to KTVU on Friday there is indeed a problem because of a coding issue, but no applications will be denied or canceled as administrators are furiously working to correct the glitch.

 

“We’re working through that now and we should have it rectified soon,†Director of Public Affairs Toni Molle said. “Their applications will not be canceled. If there’s any scores that are missing, they will receive an email from us.â€

...

The university system and The College Board are scheduled to have another conference call later on Friday to make sure the sorting of codes and matching is fixed. Any students affected by the mismatch should have received an email.

 

“Students should not worry,†Molle said. “No applications will be canceled without further follow-up.â€

 

California State University does not expect any delays and said it is on track to send out acceptance letters as it usually does.â€

The "computer coding error" is a glitch in the program.   Apparently they didn't "Beta" test it very well. If at all...

It is a brand new application system this year, and it has been a nightmare! Now we're having problems with the graduation applications. Good grief.

Why don't they just use the Common App and have special attachments??
