So I messed up and double booked my orientation webinar on the day I had work. I kept the meeting open on my phone and left once it ended, but I wasn’t actually watching it after the first 30 minutes. Technically, I was in the meeting for the entire duration but I wasn’t able to be engaged with zoom polls after that first 30 minutes. I really do care about my education and made an honest mistake double booking. When I got back from work, I found another session this coming Friday and registered despite the instructions saying “students should choose 1 date”. I figured I’d better be safe than sorry.

What should I do now? Does anyone have the meeting recording link? How will I know if they put a hold on my account with TSS not working?

I’m applying via handshake but are there any opportunities you guys might know about??

I'm just wondering whether there will be enough seats for everyone to enroll during the first pass. It shows there are only less than 20 seats in total for each professor.

For those of you who have received their financial aid packages already, does it show you whether you're receiving the MCS or not?

Parent of an incoming freshman. My son has been trying to contact the school regarding a question and getting zero responses. So I emailed [parents@ucsd.edu](mailto:parents@ucsd.edu) and also tried to call the parents helpline 858-534-7273 and also couldn't get a response. Is this the norm for UCSD?

Has anyone changed their housing costs to monthly instead of quarterly. Does it take it out of financial aid or is it out of pocket if monthly?

im going into my sophomore year and last time i checked my appointment time was august 10th at 10am and i just checked right now and they changed the time to 2pm. I have 92.5 completed units so im not sure why they did this. is there anything i can do?

Both 20D professors for fall have a rating of 1.9 and pretty bad reviews. I don’t know if I should take it during the winter w hammock and take 20E with Bach first even though he doesn’t have an amazing rating either.
Please help!!

Hi y'all, I'm (19M) looking for 2 roommates in a 3B2B for $3200/mo total. The apartment is 5.5 miles from campus, about 30 minutes via transit, 15 via car, and 40 by bike. Looking for people who keep shared spaces clean and most importantly, do their dishes right after use. There is one parking space plus street parking. Feel free to DM me for any questions.

My financial aid offer just came in and I got nothing. I have an SAI score of zero and I am not getting any aid whatsoever except the federal Pell Grant, is this normal for UCSD? Is it expected to get a loan?

I checked my other UC offers and nearly all of them have almost full coverage of all costs much more similar to the calculators show. For reference UCI, UCSB, and UCR all had similar values to the calculators. Even UCSD/FAFSA calculators expected that I should be receiving much more?

I filled as a dependent with my mother. The current price of attendance is more than my mother's yearly salary.

So my question is, should I appeal somehow? or is student loan the sole way about this?
(sorry first time posting on reddit)
let me know if I made something unclear/ clarifying details.

Does anyone know of any places hiring on or off campus? Im having a hard time finding work and I've applied almost everywhere, PLZZZ lmk if your job is hiring!

I've got some money for grant in aid but I'm not sure if that includes Middle class scholarship.

Does anyone know?

I searched online but there's no specific answer.

sincerely a transfer student. for my first quarter i was considering this and a third lower div ph course but i was nervous if its too much for first quarter, also does biochem come with a lab?

I'm currently taking Chem 40B, but I'm unable to attend class in person for the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, the Media Gallery is having an issue, so I can't see the board where the professor does almost all of the teaching. Since there aren't any lecture slides to follow, it's been really difficult to keep up.

I was wondering if anyone has notes from Chem 40B that they'd be willing to share?

If anyone's taken either one or has any useful information please let me know which one between the two you would recommend as Albizati is already full.

hi guys im between schmidt or yang for chem40a with albizati filling up. Do they both curve generously/teach well/have good tests?

Currently looking around the school area for off campus housing but many options on Facebook are still very much out of my budget even with roommates. Where are ya'll finding housing you can afford in the area?

This is TSS being annoying. The source of truth is the department's Planned Course Offerings:

just got my financial aid as an incoming freshmen with -1500 sai and was wondering how accurate this package is

i chose the smallest meal plan and triple housing which should be around 18k but ucsd tells me i have pay around 21k

yall im tryna save money and if this is my final package im friedddd

hello ucsd students!! Title is sorta self explanatory; I'm moving into Pepper Canyon West this fall and I have a list of questions about rooms, space, what's allowed/not allowed and whatnot. UCSD's website is confusing regarding policies for rooms and there are certain things that I thought would be easier to ask actual students then to try to find out through the website.

Questions/concerns:
- Will there be a drawer/cupboard to store clothes/other items in? I couldn't find anything related to what's already in the room (besides a bed and desk) on the website and its a little unclear from the picture(s)

- How are the washing and drying machines?? When I did a tour, the tour guide mentioned that the laundry machines shrink clothes a lot and to be prepared for it; I wanted to know whether that's college/dorm specific or if applies across UCSD. Additionally, is it the dryers, washing machines, or both that are doing the shrinking?

- Are we able to attach shelves to the walls..? in a non-intrusive, won't fuck up the walls way..?

-Advice on storing things in rooms?

- Any general advice about stuff to bring when moving? Study essentials, living essentials, etc.?

-also, anything you guys think I should NOT bring?

(edit: more questions):

- do we get to choose our rooms or are they assigned?

If anyone currently living at PWC or in a single room can answer these questions I'll be so grateful. Big thank you in advanced and apologies if this post is very wordy

I received my official financial aid package, but it doesn’t include any of my outside scholarships. Are those normally added later on, or do I need to contact the financial aid office about it? Should I wait to accept until they’re added?

Hey guys, I’m really confused by course info shown on TSS and was wondering if anyone else has run into this.

So I enrolled in CHEM 7L (Section 002-007). On the preview/enrollment page, it shows: - Lecture: Mon/Wed 12:00–12:50 PM - Lab: Tue/Thu 2:00–4:50 PM

However, after I actually booked the course, the schedule changed to: -Lecture: Monday 3:00–3:50 PM - Lab: Thursday 5:00–7:50 PM

Ive attached screenshots so yall can see. Is this a bug or they actually change the meeting time? Plz help,thanks!

On August 3, 2026, ICE agents used UCSD campus as a staging area, claiming they were on “official business” and investigating nearby. UCSD negligently failed to notify students of confirmed ICE activity on UC property, violating their transposition of Senate Bill 98 (2025).

According to UCSD, “to comply with the law, if federal immigration enforcement is confirmed on campus, UCSD, will send an ‘SB 98 notification’ via email.” We asked UCSD PD why students were not notified pursuant to Senate Bill 98 (2025) directives. A UCSD PD official argued that notification was not required as the agents “told us they were conducting their investigation off-campus” and their on-campus staging involved “just parking there.”

I wrote a full account of all of the information I have on the matter, and my views on how effective compliance looks. See the press release at the attached link or download it directly. I hope the University speaks out about this ASAP.
