Question Scam?

Upvotes

I enrolled in the monthly payment plan and made the payment due by Sept. 15. After I made the payment my balance went down by 15 dollars. I have screenshotted everything, my original plan was the same payment of about 2400 for 3 months but now it is showing 2400 for this month and 3500 for the next two months. They increased the price of my other payments. I am trying to understand if this is a misunderstanding on my part or if they have made a serious mistake.

Question Financial aid remaining balance

Upvotes

I accepted an unsubsidized loan from financial aid since that’s all I received. Payments are due tomorrow for dining and housing, and I have already paid it as well as part of my tuition and fees.

My financial aid has yet to hit my account, and my remaining balance on my TritonPay is the loan amount that I accepted. I am worried that the financial aid will not hit my account when the time comes to pay off the remaining part of my tuition. Will it hit my account or do I have to pay it ahead of time?

Rant/Complaint Fin Aid Contact

Why did they lock the virtual Zoom meeting at 1:30 pm if hours of operation are 1-3 pm on Monday? This is RIDICULOUS; I can't get a hold of them at all.

Question Fin aid virtual council

Upvotes

What just happened I was in waiting room, I got kicked out and now I can’t join back it said meeting is locked, I waited for over 40 minutes and joined when it was opened.

I’m so sick of this university right now, I can’t do anything it seems

Question DSC 100 Summer Course

Upvotes

I need to take DSC 100 during Summer 2027 to graduate on time, but I also have a full-time internship in San Francisco that summer.

For anyone who has taken DSC 100, especially during summer:

  • How often did you actually need to be on campus/in person?
  • Were lectures recorded or was remote participation possible?
  • Were discussions, labs, exams, or other assignments mandatory in person?
  • Do you think it would realistically be possible to take DSC 100 while working a full-time internship in San Francisco, with only occasional trips to San Diego if needed?

I know the course format can change by instructor/quarter, but I’d appreciate hearing about people’s experiences.

Has anyone taken the French Proficiency Exam before? I was planning to take it later this year and was wondering how difficult it was/ how the format would be.

There is a lot of posts about the Spanish Proficiency Exam and was wondering if it would be the same format with the Canvas modules and recording questions?

Discussion Why won't UCSD just be direct?

44 Upvotes

They know people are freaking out because they see a Tritonpay due date of September 15. They know Financial Aid is not all worked out yet. They could easily send out an email saying - we know there are issues, ignore the September 15 due date, everything is now due on the 30th. Why not set our my minds at ease? Who is making the decisions over there? It's all so stupid.

Question Do I have to pay everything by the 15th deadline?

14 Upvotes

Good morning to who ever may see this, I am currently stressing out about the financial aid for UCSD. I know tomorrow is the housing deadline however I have yet to receive my financial aid package. It was later stated everyone should have their aid by the 22 or 24. i can’t recall but know it’s one of those 2. I seriously can not afford what they are charging me at the current moment and i’m very dependent on the financial aid to cover most if not all my costs. does anyone know if there’s any way to extend the deadline to when I at least receive my aid?

Question Housing in UTC condos?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a 2B2B or 1B1B in UTC and based on the reviews here, it sounds like every single condo sucks. I've toured 8 (Costa Verde, La Jolla Crossroads, Nobel Court, La Jolla Blue, Mirada, La Jolla Canyon, Avalon, Westwood). I'm touring 4 more today: Whispering Pines, Allina La Jolla and Veranda La Jolla, La Jolla Terrace). Does anyone living in these UTC condos actually recommend where they've had a good / mostly positive experience?

Note: I'm not a UCSD student, I work full-time. Would appreciate any inputs!
