You could list it in the education history section and just state how many units (or credit hours) were completed.  So it might look something like this:
University of School
City, State
Major: Related Field
60 units completed

I would for now say - write first, then edit. I always find that order way easier.
And sometimes it helps to take some distance for a bit.

If you have not already, it might help to ask students in your department who are TAing what it is like and how they're balancing the workload.  TAing means different things to different professors.  Sometimes it might mean you hold study groups and guest lecture regularly and other times it might mean you make copies and maybe do a little grading.  You also want to find out what sort of training/support is available if you need help or a student comes to you with a crisis.

I personally have never heard of someone including research participation as a subject on their CV. I think you can just cut that and focus on your research assistant experience. 

All of this can be addressed in 2 or 3 sentences.  Any more and what adcoms will remember from your SOP is that you were or are sick when you want them to remember your research interests.  You can say something like........While I was always a motivated student and took school seriously I became unexpectedly ill during sophomore year, which meant having to switch to part time status.  My GPA suffered a bit at that time, but thankfully, my illness was temporary and once recovered I resumed school full time and my GPA significantly improved.  I do not anticipate any health related challenges in graduate school and am looking forward to...........transition to your research interests.
I also want to point out that many people go to school part time for a variety of reasons (not all of them negative) for part or even all of undergrad so its becoming less of a shock to adcoms.  More of your SOP needs to focus on how you have prepared for graduate school and what you will do once you're there.

Sure you can have your LOR writer state that you had an illness during that time, but then the adcom will wonder.....what kind of illness, is it chronic, will it be a problem in the future, etc etc.  It would be very strange to have an LOR writer mention it and then you don't, so it's probably easier if you just briefly address it and move on.

In a research paper you would want to type out the whole thing first, then put the acronym in parentheses and use the acronym in the rest of the paper, like so: "I have wanted to be a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) since..." They'll like it if you follow the APA style!

Research experience! Try to get into a lab, preferably with an established PI that could also write you a ref

Hmmm, this all seems very strange. I would email the coordinator that you met with (since you know she exists) and ask her about a student handbook and course questions. Getting registered and on track for next semester is the most urgent thing to get done at this moment.
You've said that you don't know who the biology department head is, but I'm asking about the dean of the college that biology is in. If you can't find one person, go higher up. What school/college is biology in? Find the dean. (Obviously it is hard to help without knowing the name of the university you are at, so I am giving you general direction.)

Okay, so your program does have a non-thesis option. Since, based on the info you have given, it seems you are behind. Once you find someone to meet with, I would ask about the non-thesis option. If you are not planning on getting a PhD, I wouldn't break your back doing a full thesis if you don't have to.
Did you meet with the new coordinator? Her being young isn't relevant if she is knowledgable. She might be able to help you. 
Did you email the dean of whatever college biology is in? If you can't find the department head, I would go higher. 
 
Have you asked any secretaries in the biology building/office? Even just asking "Hi, I'm a student and I am looking for the biology department head's email. Do you have this information?" The secretaries were invaluable to me in grad school. The also might know office/room numbers. It's their job to keep track of this information.
 
Edit: by exit exam, I mean the thing you have to pass to graduate. Your school might not call them exit exams. The department I graduated from has a thesis, research paper, comprehensive written exam, and practicum option. Everyone had to pick 1. It looks like your school has 2 options. 

If you're classified as full time and your school participates in federal student aid programs then full time for graduate students is usually 9 credit hours in the Fall, 9 credit hours in the Spring, and 6 credit hours in the Summer (if your program requires Summer).  Exceptions are often made for students that are only doing their thesis/dissertation or are required to do a full time internship offsite.  If you are paying out of pocket or through an outside funding source (employer, scholarship, etc) then the number of credit hours to be considered full time may be different.  So it seems to me that a few things need to happen.  1) Connect with the dean of your departments school/college to find out who is in fact the head of your department, where you can access a graduate student handbook, and if your department is even going to continue to exist given the difficulty in accessing basic information.  2) Contact the registrar to find out how many credit hours are considered full time for your department and if you are currently classified as full time or part time.  3) If you are receiving any federal funding or are funded as a TA or RA through your University then contact the Financial Aid department to make sure you are registered for the correct number of credit hours to receive the amount of funding you are getting.

Well if you were listed as one of the principle investigators then I would say that title would indicate the level of responsibility you were given.  If you were not I think its better to leave your title as undergraduate research assistant and sell how much responsibility you had in your list of job duties.  You might say something like "solely responsible for all analyses using theoretical framework of specific field" rather than "data analysis."  You might also say "proposal development included serving as a consultant regarding theoretical framework of specific field" rather than "assisted with the literature review."  It would also be a good idea to check with your advisor about how to showcase your responsibilities and include field specific phrases and norms.

It seems odd that a department wouldn't make the head of the department's name widely available.  Your advisor doesn't even know who that is?  If you're 3 semesters into a 2 year Master's program then I'm unclear of how you can be on track to graduate if you you still have so many remaining credit hours, are only currently taking one class, and haven't started your thesis.  Is your program actually 3 years?  Regardless it seems appropriate for you to be reaching out to the dean (or their assistant) of the college/school your department is a part of and explain your situation and ask who the appropriate person is for you to have ongoing guidance. 

It is entirely possible that something got lost in translation if English is not your first language, what exactly did he say?  If his exact words were "I can write you a general LOR" then that means he'll write you one, but it won't be glowing and state that he strongly recommends you for graduate study.  Instead he'll say general things like "Jess Q performed well in my classes," "Jess Q is interested in the field and intends to pursue a PhD at your school," or "Jess Q is suitable for graduate study."  None of those say anything bad, but they aren't amazing either.  Ideally you want your LORs written by someone who is going to rave about you, so if there is someone else who can do that then consider asking them instead.

I'm wondering if a better first step would be to actually become acquainted and familiar with each other's work and interests before jumping to "lets collaborate on project x!"  A collaboration is a relationship that will require a lot of communication and that's going to be easier if you actually like each other, have similar work styles, and balance each others strengths/weaknesses.  If you keep in contact after the conference with the occasional question about their work, to bounce ideas, etc then you'll get a sense of how you both might work on a project together and their openness to even doing that.

When considering @MarineBluePsy 's guidance, please keep in mind that relationships can change over time. Professor Xavier and Professor Eisenhardt can be friends today, mortal enemies tomorrow, and looking to graduate students to choose sides.

Well a transcript would indicate what type of coursework you've taken so they have a sense of knowledge you have and still need.  Co-supervision can be great if both professors get along well and the focus is on the students goals and needs.  Co-supervision would likely be miserable if the professors had constant conflict or provided opposing directions.  It might be helpful for you to think about what it is you hope to gain from co-supervision and discuss how those needs might be met with each supervisor.  Is there anyone in your program that has done this or that can act as a neutral party for you to bounce ideas/thoughts/questions off of?

Does anyone else in your department need an RA and the ability to fund you for the summer?  If not maybe the faculty in your department have some connections that may yield some opportunities.

yeah, Paul Silva ftw. They're handing it out here to students haha. It's confrontational a little bit (the complaining part), but he's totally right.
As for the writing itself; I've found 'How to publish high quality research' by Balliet, Joireman & van Lange useful for help on what should go in each section. But it may also be very specific to Psych.

Yes, if you want to use the chunks of time you have productively, you have to prepare. You can use the shorter chunks you have to prepare for the longer chunks.
One thing I had to convince myself of was to just write. Sentences are just a collection of words; paragraphs are made up of sentences. Even if you have a 30 minute span of time, how much can you write? Even if you can only write one paragraph, that's one less paragraph you have to go to your goal. Persisting in writing even small amounts is so important - set aside some time to write almost every day, even if it's only a short period. Set yourself realistic goals. I used Scrivener to write my dissertation in pieces, and Scrivener does easy word counts at the bottom of each section. Give yourself a couple of diagnostic sections to see how much you can realistically write in X period of time (realizing that there's a difference between theoretical writing, like a literature review, and things like methods). Then assign yourself goals at the beginning of each session. So maybe your goal for a 30 minute session is about 100 words. Believe it or not...that's about one-third to a bit less than one-half a double-spaced page (Times New Roman, 12 pt-font, depends on the length of the words).
I outlined my entire dissertation from the beginning...and broke the entire thing up into 2-3 page chunks. Once I did that, the task seemed FAR more surmountable. (I also picked that tip up from a book.) I worked backwards from when I wanted to be finished and assigned myself specific sections to be working on on specific weeks/days, with deadlines. I communicated this timeline to my advisor for some external accountability (he didn't give a fig when I finished, lol, but it felt more accountable to me). Of course, this timeline and outline shifted and changed over time, but it at least gave me a roadmap and an overarching goal.
I also realized that some of the writing rituals I committed myself to were actually, in truth, procrastination techniques. Figure out what you absolutely have to do to get started writing - I mean, the bare minimum that you can go with. Try writing exercises in different areas, without ideal conditions. How do you do? See, you didn't die. Since you have to change workspaces often, one thing you may want to do is pack a bag with the bare essentials you need to write. Try to purchase or download books/articles electronically and enter them into a reference manager, so you can be as mobile as possible. I wrote a significant chunk of my dissertation at a coffee shop around the corner from my apartment, just for variety. (I wrote probably like less than 5% of it in the graduate student workspace.)
One of the most valuable things I learned was from the book Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day, by Joan Bolker. (The title is not meant to be taken literally.) She talks about "parking on the downhill slope" - which means when you stop, make it easy for yourself to get going again. Set aside 5-10 minutes at the end of each writing session to write yourself some messy notes about what you're thinking right then, where you were planning to go with a thought, what article you need to read or reference, or whatever else is helpful to help yourself get going. That way, next time you sit down to write, you don't have to waste 20 minutes trying to remember what the hell you were writing about last time.
When it comes to data analysis and processing - document, document, document! Comment all through those syntax files! Literally, every time you run an analysis, write a short comment about what you were doing with that line of code. If you use a GUI system (like SPSS) just start a notes file in a program like Evernote or OneNote and comment what you're doing. That's the way to "park on the downhill slope" with data analysis. That way, next time you start up you can just glance at your notes/comments and remember where you where and what you were doing. I also took the time (~5 min at the end of each analysis section) to write to myself about what I was planning to try/do next, so that when future me sat down I didn't waste time trying to figure out what the hell I was doing and what this code was for!
Another tip I used a lot is to save editing/revising for dedicated editing/revising days/sessions. If you're a procrastinator or a perfectionist, the temptation might be strong to edit/revise as you write, or to start editing/revising at the beginning of your session. If you do that, you'll look up 2 hours later and realize you've not written anything new. I put a banner above my workspace that say "JUST WRITE" to remind me to stop constantly editing and to just write. Even if I felt like I was vomiting out nonsense, a lot of the time I was able to take that "trash" and edit/revise it to something better later, when I had dedicated editing time. (Honestly, I wrote a significant portion of my dissertation with a glass of wine nearby. The buzz from the wine helped inhibit my natural perfectionistic tendencies and I was able to write more. Now, I often had to do revisions in the mornings but at least I had some words on the paper!)

back on topic;
I'm currently reading 'How to Write a Lot' by Paul J. Silvia - it's a bit over 100 pages, so it's not a long read. You can get it on Amazon. It was recommended by quite some faculty I've worked with over the years (you may ask if someone has a copy). Although I personally don't have a lot of problems with writing a lot, it is helpful in many other ways and gives valuable tips on how to 'plan' writing and so on.
Writing time is not just actual writing. You want to also spend time 'planning' your writing. you wanna spend some time on the outline and order of your arguments, set goals on what you wanna do on a day, etc. I do have a 'writing schedule' for a given month/week usually. For me, creating an outline first also helps me with remembering what I'm actually doing. I usually block out 3x 4 hours in a given week to work on writing (usually the afternoons I don't have class/other responsibilities; although it's also occasionally mornings - but I make sure I have at least 8 hrs per week fully focussed on writing) to write. I've also done 2 hours after lunch each day, but my current schedule doesn't allow me to do so. Sometimes I don't need this much time, but then I'll just use it to read things I'm interested in that are maybe not directly relevant to a paper I'm working on, but could be helfpul in the future. When I'm having writing sessions, people that work with me know that I will not be checking my email regularly during those hours (i.e., the 8 hrs that I'm devoted to writing) - if at all, but there are other ways to contac tme for important things. 
I usually start by going quickly over what I wrote the previous session, weeding out any 'very wonky' sentences in the process and it helps me to remember what I was working on, although this step is not always needed. Then I just start writing. Sometimes I may just write the general outline of the paper; I add references later because I know what info I want to include. I often add more information and so on later, but I write a general body with all the arguments and the like first and put things like (xxxx) as a reference if I'm not sure who and what (sometimes I remember). I personally find it easier to just flow on like that than constantly move back and forth between checking references and writing - also because I already know my outline. When the general body of the intro is finished, I will usually start adding references and more information if I come across missing information (I find it personally easier to just 'add' an extra sentence with relevant info). I can also spend a session working on a lit review and taking notes on relevant information in a doc and use that for writing my outline later on. I also usually pre-write my methods and results , so I don't forget any analyses and just sorta fill in the blanks and outcomes (i.e., As can be seen in Table x , there was a *** between variable X and variable Y, *stats*/ Blabla was assessed using Scale X (alpha/Mean/SD)). After doing that I move on to the discussion because you need the results for that. But I do dot down some things I want to mention or go over while writing other sections. I generally work with keywords or short sentences to remind myself what the outline is/should be. Note that this order is not fixed. Some people also prefer to write methods and results first, and the intro later. It also depends on whether I'm collaborating with someone and so on - that's why planning and having an outline is so helpful.
Because I have regular writing time, I also do not really have rituals to get into writing except getting a big coffee. My ritual is literally just closing all my other browsers (except EndNote maybe), make sure I have coffee, put on my headphones (I usually just listen to some jazz radio station on youtube - that's the other browser I'll have open) and just go. I usually will have a pop-up for my uni-email account, although I sometimes disable that too if I really want to focus on something difficult. Because your ritual takes about an hour, you may figure a way to use time from the ritual for actual writing - I'm not saying all, but just slowly get faster in the writing itself. If you plan your writing in advance (such as what you want to do, have an outline, etc.) it may save you some time later on. I also know people who keep a writing log (spend the last 5- 10 min of their session writing down what they did and goals for the next day), similar to how people keep a datalog where you summarize what you did with your data (you want to do that too).
As for writing anything 'good' - I wouldn't necessarily focus too much on the output itself. Sometimes I can spend a whole session just writing a poorly, but it is easier to edit something than just write it from scratch. If you plan your text well (like flow, order of arguments, etc.), I think it will also make it easier to write something 'good'. Don't be discouraged by the fact that you may spend quite some time outlining your paper, because it will help you in the end for sure! Writing is not the actual amount of words you wrote down in a given time; it involves a lot more.
 
As for other tips;
- try to figure out what good times for writing are for you. I'm not very functional the first 1 - 2 hrs in the office, so I try to use that time for other tasks such as replying to emails, downloading papers, reading easy things, and meetings if possible. I do find the first 1-2 hrs good for editing too, so if I have a morning writing session, I usually use it for editing and data analyses (i.e., fill in the blanks in my methods/results).
- Let other people know you have certain time scheduled for writing and don't care about what they think of that. 
- Make realistic and attainable goals and stick to that. It could be goals as 'write an outline of the intro', 'write 500 words', 'finish analysis X', etc. You'll figure out over time what is attainable for you.
- Be cautious not to just spent your writing time 'worrying' about writing, deadlines, etc. Actually use it to do things.

Well when you apply to graduate programs they will require that you send official transcripts of every college and grad school you've previously attended.  Your best bet is to use your personal statement to address this and also explain why now you're certain that this program is right for you and that you intend to finish it.  It isn't common for applications to require a cover letter with your CV, but if you're asked for one you can use it to address the education issue.  If a cover letter is not requested then on your CV you can list all the schools in the order you attended them and for those you didn't earn degrees just state the number of units or credit hours you completed that way it is consistent with your transcripts.  After you finish your program you can revise your CV to only mention where you actually earned a degree since that is what employers will be more interested in.

I'm all for relaxing, especially in the summer, but I'd suggest paid employment.  It doesn't have to be full time, but graduate school is filled with unexpected expenses and it wouldn't hurt to have a little extra money put away.  If your summer gig is also something fun then that's a plus.  If you have the opportunity to travel (even if just to visit relatives or friends you haven't seen in awhile) that could also be fun.

Yes we students have gathered to discuss the lack of communication and the unclear expectations.  A summary of our concerns have been taken to the faculty and we're all discussing them one on one with our advisors which should cover all angles.  Hopefully that will lead to changes we can all work with.  It is really sad that across fields this lack of communication or unclear standards exists and yet we're expected to be the next generation of academics.  How can you really excel at something if there is no standard for you to meet or exceed?  

Congrats on your acceptance!  The experience of moving alone and then living alone will be whatever you make of it.  I decided it would be an adventure and so far it still is.  For the actual move I would say safety first.  Do not have your car packed to the brim as you drive and stop to gas up or for the night.  I packed my trunk before I left and didn't open it again until I arrived at my final destination and kept the interior of my car empty.  Everything I could possible need for the trip fit into my large purse or I just went without it.  I only stopped for gas/food at well lit places with lots of foot traffic and overnight stays were in well known cities (nothing off the beaten path) and in busy neighborhoods.  I strongly suggest a separate navigation system because some parts of our country still don't have great cell reception and you won't know that until you're there.  Satellites don't seem to have that problem.  Also have music, road trip snacks, and wear compression socks.
I have enjoyed living alone because my space is how I want it at all times.  I don't have to bother with anyone else's mood, stuff, or irritating habits.  I work from home most days, can easily unwind here, and if I don't feel like cleaning up (I'm not a slob or anything lol) then no one is here to complain about it.  I am very outgoing so I just go out to socialize regularly.  It is really easy to get overwhelmed by all of the school stuff there is to do and feel like there isn't time to have fun, but when you combine that with spending a ton of time home alone its a recipe for disaster.  I have found it really helpful to plan social outings in advance.  For example I'll buy a ticket to an event 3 months away or book a trip for spring break months in advance.  This way every month there is something fun happening and even if day of I'm tired and have a zillion things to do I'm going because I committed and can't stand to waste money.
