thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello folks,
I am a current student at the college and found much of the information here in need of updating. Most links have been taken down since the college published a new website. I guess many years ago, there was an online student handbook, but now it is in the form of a PDF file. 
I have modified the "Privileges and grading system" section:
* Added SURF. SURF is only open to CCS students and many people believe it is an important aspect of the CCS experience. 
* Changed the building access info. After UCSB reopened the campus after COVID-19 lockdown, the CCS building is only open between 7:30 AM to 10 PM. CCS also no longer gives key to students; now students enter the building via e-locks.
I would recommend setting the discussion of the CCS grading system as an independent section. It is a highly unique and important practice, not so well known among people outside the college. Dmsogeek (talk) 04:47, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

ALSO, it should be noted that CCS administrative staff routinely waived that requirement during a common "upgrade" process that would be bestowed upon 2-3 students per year.  Usually applicable to students selected from the historically always small Chemistry (CofL&S cohort used to number in the 20-40 per year at the highger end....
