Hello Ms. Rondeau
Yes, it was definitely September 1961. We located the 1961 Time Schedule which shows the date all classes began.

The following email was sent by Ms. Virjean Edwards to the original researcher on July 26, 2010:
This is to confirm that when Ms. Obamas record was entered into the Student Data Base, an error had been made and the month was entered as August (8) and not September (9). The staff person made an honest mistake since on the original record the 9 is typed on the line which makes the 9 look like an 8. Our office investigated this, found that the class did not begin until September so corrected the on-line transcript changing the month from August to September.
If you have any other questions about this please contact me.
