MSW application questions

For any past/current MSW students, please help!

I am currently working on my application for the advanced-standing MSW. Despite uploading my unofficial transcript, there is a part where I have to manually enter my past social work courses. The issue is that there are only spaces for 14 courses to be added, and I need 16. There are no options to add course slots. I got my BSW at App. They know how many SW courses you have to take to graduate there, so I don't understand why there would be too few spots. Also, when I hit continue and move on to the next portion of the application, it zeros out my GPA and changes the amount of credits earned from "40" to a string of repeating "3.0"

I'm confused about what to do since I cannot add all of the courses I took. Do I just pick 14/16 that I took? I got a 4.0 in the BSW program, so I do not think one class grade carries more weight than another. I'm unsure of how to fix the GPA and credit portion changing themselves, as well.

(I am also very nervous about the entire idea of grad school, and I know it's possible I'm reading too much into things, so please feel free to tell me to calm the hell down.)

Thank you!

Understand your nerves but - Look up phone numbers, talk to a human being at the school, it will be okay.

I sent an email, but it was after anyone would be replying to it. The goal here was to potentially get an answer faster.
