That is why I doubt the transcript is authentic. Ever since I've been at the UW, correspondence classes have started at the same time as all other classes. I don't know for a fact that that was the case in 1961, but I see no evidence to indicate it was any different. I talked to a couple old timers who were around in 1961, and they don't remember it being different, though they couldn't say for sure.
The available evidence suggests she arrived in Seattle in the last week of August, 2-3 weeks after Bambi's birth. That's not impluasible.
If she were planning on taking classes during the fall quarter, which always started the last week of September, it would make sense for her to arrive before classes began in order find a place to live and get settled.
I really don't see why you birthers see the move to Seattle to be so significant.
There are two transcripts. One is a copy of the original, fill it in as you go "card", with typed entries. The other is a printout. They both have the same dates for class attendence. The "printout" doesn't distinguish between correpsondence and extension. The other one does, and shows all four courses (from Autumn '61 and Winter '62) to be "extension". The Spring '62 classes were a regular admitance.
Taking extension courses, can be explained by her poor GPA from U. Hawaii (1.8), because there is no real admission requirement. She also only transfered two course from U. HI. whereas a normally load, especially for a bright student as she was reported to be, would be more like 4 or 5 classes. IIRC, I carried 15 hours first semester freshman year, just 8 years later. That was 4 classes, but math was 5 credit hours and chemistry was 4.

Because it conflicts with his "legend" and book. It also doesn't make a lot of sense, it would have been much cheaper to stay in Hawaii. They would have let her come back on "probation", or let her take extension courses, in spite of that terrible first semester.
