I'm a member of an NPC, and even I don't comment on the intricacies of the recruitment/matching systems at universities such as this.
That being said, many systems keeping track of large databases of names have been known to have errors (either system or human errors due to input). I recently requested my transcripts online from Northeastern, and I was denied. I received an email saying there was no record of me in the system. Two days later I received a voicemail saying that they made a mistake: they had my last name listed as my first name, and my first name listed as my last name. So yea, it happens.
And no, my name isn't Ashley Shannon, or anything like that.
It's abundantly clear which name should come first and which should be last.
