Morgan came into the consultant's office and informed us that only CSCF
has fixed this problem; his student.math account is in its grace period
before expiring.

I've no idea what CSCF did that MFCF didn't,
but the account on the Math student machines seems to be ok now.

The original problem was with the Registrar's data supplied to us
by IST yesterday: every student's faculty was listed as "Arts".

They corrected the problem and today's data looks fine.
