You are saying a transfer student, with a break in attendance at her previous school, or a new student if she didn't bother to tell U of W about her term at U of H, could start cold turkey and be in class in a couple of weeks?
In 1961? Seems doubtful absent some special circumstances, such as newly transferred in military.
Take it from me--I know it could be done; I know someone who did it; in that time period. However all moot at this point.
If you look at the rest of the postings above, and they also jog my own memory from material posted on the Long Thread (and other documents I have seen that are not posted here as far as I know), she wasn't enrolled in regular full time class but was rather an extension student in fall quarter 1961 which she could well have been from anywhere.
