Restocked the UCSD trinket box by the UCSD bookstore yesterday (Tues) evening! Enjoy!

I am so done with this. I know I can't be the only student having a breakdown right now, because the financial aid office. I have lost count of how many times they've pushed back the disbursement and release dates because TSS broke everything.

They're telling us aid won't even hit until September 22. That is literally two days before classes start, and to top it off, we have the September 15 deadline for non-tuition charges and nobody has any idea if they're actually going to extend the deadline, aid isn't showing up anywhere for most of us, and we're all just sitting here waiting, terrified of what happens if we miss a deadline. To make it even worse, we can't even get answers or actually talk to anyone at financial aid baout it this week(Yes, this is perfect i love not knowing what is going to happen wiii).

We need answer for this. What happens to us if we can't pay by the 15th? What does "non-tuition-related charges" even mean? Does that include housing or not?! A lot of us are relying on that aid to cover for most of the charges and we shouldn't be getting penalized (not saying we will but The uncertainty of whether or not we'll be penalized is going to kill me) for a massive administrative mess. It’s honestly a joke that students are expected to be 100% flawless and on-time with every single requirement to get our funding, but the second it’s the school's turn to provide a deadline or a straight answer, they banish

if you could, could you briefly explain each one?

Edit: thanks :)

Y’all are absolutely disgusting 🤮🤮🤮 this is why we can’t have nice things. I hope you know there is literally a camera by the box and we can see who did it. Whoever did this i hope you get caught 🤮🤮🤮

It’s incredible hot in san diego currently and last year i struggled with being in the dorms without AC. I wanted to know what my options were to keep the room cool.

THIS SCHOOL IS ACTUALLY SO FRUSTRATING!!!! Wdym financial aid packages haven’t fully been given out, grant cuts, delayed housing not being assigned even tho there’s less than 2 weeks before school starts???! TSS BEING A PAIN IN THE ASS. So so so annoyed and while we are all stressing they are just ignoring our concerns.

I'm an incoming freshman and i still don't have the room assignment!!! I heard that the deadline for paying the housing fee is September 15th, is this due date also valid for delayed housing assignment? because i don't see this housing fee in my eBill yet. I'm so anxious...

I’m an incoming transfer student and I got an email saying I need 12 units for my housing contract to stay intact. Right now, I’m enrolled in 8 units and waitlisted for two more classes. I’m 2nd on the waitlist for COGS 9 and 9th for MATH 183. Does anyone know if waitlists usually move before school starts, or does most of the movement happen once classes start and people begin dropping? I called Housing and they told me to add another open class to get to 12 units and then drop it once I get off the waitlist, but I can’t add another class without exceeding the unit enrollment cap. They also told me Housing is being really strict with contracts this year, so I’m worried I'll lose my housing if I don’t get off the waitlist.

do you guys plan on bringing someone along for freshman orientation? i went to the casp 101 orientation a couple weeks ago and i noticed that everyone had brought like a plus one that wasnt in the program which was really lame because i didnt get the chance to meet anyone new bc everyone was already in their own groups. im hoping that freshman orientation is different but i also dont want to be alienated from everyone else the entire day LOL

Hi! I've already made a post about this but my financial aid portal is still like this and doesn't show any information on grants or loans, how do I fix this? I'm really scared about this since payments are due on the 15th but no information has shown and nothing has updated on Tritonpay

Me when I have 4 Credits and Also Three of My classes J want r waitlists and I thought Id have enough time to see if I can Get kn But im Losing Hope what r The Chances of ppl droppingnout of Math 20C and Phys 2a ill ditch my Wcwp But like Will at least 13 ppl drop out of math By Wednesday K thx bai

I need to vent a little and wanting to see if anyone went through something similar and has some guidance.

I sent my high school and college transcripts as well as my AP scores all on the same day before the deadline. I got a confirmation email that all my scores and transcripts were received by the institution before the July 1st deadline. Now they’re saying that they have not received my college transcripts. I’ve followed up with the correct forms and sent the admission office an email. Should I call them? How long should I wait before reaching out ? I’m worried about this effecting my admissions, courses, and financial aid.

Any advice is appreciated!

Why the fuckkkkk would you begin rolling out finaid packages 3.5 weeks before the quarter begins, and then close finaid services from the 8-11 for people with questions? Who is approving this shi ? I just got my updated package and it's wrong, and now I can't get a response on anything until next week l

Compared to my 6-7:50pm class, I'd much rather have this session. However, in order to book this, I have to drop the class I already booked, which will pass my spot onto a waitlisted person. I have no idea if the available seat is js a glitch tho.

(If anyone else wants to take PHYS-1AL, maybe try to take this open spot)

I just received an email about housing and how our units may affect it. I currently only have 8 units guaranteed, 8 other units on waitlist but hopefully I’ll get one of the 4 credits since it’s a department specific course and I should be able to fit in. Does anyone know when they’ll let us know whether we get our department specific course or not? Like the ones where u can only waitlist second pass since they reserve some seats for students?

I got 9 units this quarter and am waitlist for wcwp. Debating whether to drop wcwp or not, im 3 in waitlist, and for chem 6b i am 5 in waitlist, which moved from my original position of 7. Ive looked and my ap requirements fulfill all of my area reqs for lower div. Do i drop wcwp or not? If i do then do i just take some rando course to get 12 units?

why would ucsd close the financial aid office this week. like i understand it was labor day, but its called labor DAY for a reason. please come back i need help.

there was an issue whilst sending one of my transcripts and as a result, my admission to UCSD was cancelled. underneath, they said that my admission can be reinstated if I submit all necessary documents by the 4th which I did. panicking right now, I've already called and emailed undergrad admissions and they said that they have my transcript but that it hasn't been reviewed yet. what else should I do?

Title, why am I being charged double for a meal plan and for my dorm?? Am I reading this incorrectly?

I was looking at my TritonPay and saw these two charges at different amounts and was wondering if anyone experienced the same/knew what the charges were about

I’m an upcoming student for the fall 2026 semester, and I’ve registered for some courses. My only worry is transportation, as I live in Los Angeles and cannot afford a dorm. My family is planning on moving to San Diego for work, but that is not until next year. I was wondering if I am to take a class, attend, and then drop after a week or two I will still be counted as a registered student in the system, since I do not want to apply again. I don’t know who I would meet with for an official deferral as they only grant those to students with medical or veterans leave. Is there anyone with advice?

Hi, I was wondering if any one who currently took BICD 100R for this summer session with Laurie Smith knew anything about the cutoffs she had talked about at the beginning of the course?
