All right. I confess: I doubted Steve Pavlina on his claim that he graduated in 3 semesters. I think doubt is healthy and one should not just bindly believe what one hears. So I contacted the CSUN, where Steve said he attended.
Here is a reply I just got:
"Due to confidentiality, I am unable to give you specific information about
Steve Pavlina, but I will tell you that what he claims is true. He did
transfer into the university with some units already completed but he took
many many units each semester and did graduate. It is an amazing
accomplishment.

Hurray! I am so happy I wasn't disappointed. I just thought I would share it to those who, like me, may have doubted. And my apologies to Steve that I had to ask...
