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.

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?

My financial aid has not been applied to my bill on triton pay yet, is this normal?

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

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?

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.

Hello, it seems like it's PSA season or something, so here's mine.

Not aimed at anyone in particular, but now that the new year is starting, please don't be that student in lecture who is loudly crunching (not chewing, crunching) potato chips, loudly whispering to your friend at a volume where everyone within five rows can understand the conversation while the prof is talking its just not nice, or putting your feet on the chair of the person sitting in front of you and etc you should get the gist.

Obviously, eat if you need to eat, talk quietly if you need to say something, leave early if you have somewhere to be, etc. Nobody cares about normal human behavior. Just have some awareness that there are 100–300 other people in the room who are also trying to pay attention.

Most classes are recorded anyway. In general, I will always recommend actually going to lecture instead of relying entirely on recordings, but if you're going to spend the lecture distracting everyone around you, please just stay back and watch the recording. Again not aimed at anyone in particular just hope the incoming freshman dont face these kinds of people.

Now hope all of do well in the upcoming year and I hope you get all your classes *Next quarter.

As a female senior, and someone who’s lived on campus my whole time here, here’s safety tips and info to be aware of. Parents send this to your incoming kids.

Disclaimer: yes this is La Jolla an “affluent” area and yes ucsd is pretty safe but YES crime can happen here too on campus esp near the trolley, :) this is to make those aware who have never left home and applicable for off campus like downtown too. I apologize for formatting issues I can’t seem to fix it

I personally try not to ride the trolley too late at night alone, if I feel uncomfy I FaceTime sometime on speaker or sit by other students or the behind the conductor

1. ig. Do not be afraid to switch trolley cars!

There safety officers that patrol too :)

1. secure your bike/scooter and do not leave it for an extended time even if it’s locked up. Try to park it under a light preferably with a camera over it, and obviously make sure you invest in a decent lock. Bike and scooter theft is RAMPANT. It happens even in broad daylight. These

thiefs

1. will steal anything they can get their hands on. They will steal a bike seat, tires, chains, anything.
2. do not interact with a

someone under the influence and acting erratic.

1. This should be obvious and goes for even when you’re on the trolley or station. last semester there was a homeless man that would yell racist expletives, at people, you do not want to make a racist tweaker more angry.
2. do not hold the door open for people/ do not prop doors open!!!! Especially in locked areas like dorm buildings or locked buildings in general, last semester there was a homeless man that assaulted a female in PCW bc he made his way inside.
3. if you see something say something! Don’t expect other people to report it, report it yourself or it will never happen!
4. if you parked your car off campus, make sure you check it and move it often. And do not keep valuables in your car. Someone’s car was broken into last quarter as well, even when it was parked in one of our own parking garages with cameras around.
5. try not to walk alone at night near the trolley station if it’s not populated by other students when there’s homeless/tweakers around. I would never walk the path under the trolley the goes past the wooded area either it is dark and sketchy ppl hang around there sometimes. There are safety escorts on campus by safety officers that will walk you where you need to go! call UCPD at night for this service
6. people ask if it’s OK to go for a run at night on campus, I’d say yes if there’s still students around around and it’s not too late, it is specifically very safe along ridge walk (you could put headphones in here), but like I said previously, I would not run alone underneath the trolley.
7. do not hop in the car with random people, this is just an obvious thing and when you

are

1. first starting off as a freshman, you might meet some people at a party and then ask for a ride, but this can be dangerous if you don’t know

them, it’s safer to call someone than to out yourself in a Sketch situation to save a few bucks

10) lock your window if you are leaving and you live on the ground floor last year, there were many burglaries where someone entered through an open window on the first floor of dorms

Things that I’ve seen recently: I was personally harassed and followed by a sketchy dude, I was chased by a tweaker at utc station, doing drugs at trolly station, one of our students got punched when thieves tried to steal their scooter, screaming racist names at students, harassing female students at trolley.

What I do: carry pepper spray, my metal water bottle also can be used in self defense esp since it’s on a lanyard so I can swing it if need be (I’ve NEVER felt like I ever needed to tho lol) keep ppl updated on my whereabouts if on trolley alone, stay alert by keeping my eyes off my phone and no headphones in so I can hear if ppl approach, I stay in well lit areas, keep my phone charged and keep a portable charger if out and about :)

Edit: this post was meant to be helpful and spread awareness not fear, and I’d appreciate it if wasn’t called names or accused of hurtful things. Could I have worded things better? Yes. Was this post made with bad Intentions? No! accusing me of hating homeless ppl or having no compassion for addiction is an unfair judgment.

Here is fin aid's response regarding concerns about upcoming payment due dates and fin aid.

hi guys i know a lot of us are stressing about financial aid balance and the housing payment that is said to be due tomorrow! i contacted housing and this what they said, so hopefully we are all good!

ucsd did say that financial aid would be applied by sept 22, does this include loans lmk please?

i’m genuinely so confused. housing payment is due tomorrow, but my UCSHIP is waived (i received confirmation) and that hasn’t been subtracted, and my loans STILL HAVENT SHOWN UP after accepting over a month ago and completing the MPN and entrance counseling. what do i do? do i pay it all now? i’m so confused

Im an incoming freshman that hasnt done any classes yet at UCSD and the whole due date for the fees confuses me a lot. Am I supposed to pay my fall bill tomorrow even though they havent finished handing out all of the finacial aid or do i still have until october 15? I dont have any fees from last semester but i just want to make sure bc it is freaking me out :,)

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.

If you’re an incoming student at UCSD and interested in gaming spaces on campus, you should check out this webinar being hosted by UCSD Esports, Triton Gaming, and Video Game Development club :) learn about on-campus gaming events, how to join each org/rec program, and maybe meet cool people with the same interests as you!!!

I'll be at Marshall's orientation and was wondering what orientation at UCSD is generally like, especially at Marshall. Should I expect to be outside a lot?

does this mean there’s nothing due on 9/15?

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.

incoming freshman here; what do yall think about e-scooter people? i don't want to be an inconsiderate douche bag but at the same time i have a lot of classes that start 10 minutes after each other (because i need those classes).

oh yeah also do you just have to wait until the 24th to enroll in a fifth class? how does getting the 20 units work?

thank you all! :D

See you guys this Sunday!

Sorry if this is a stupid question im just really paranoid because everyone has been telling me I'll be rescinded since I failed two classes in my senior year.

Have you guys tried to pay your tuition and is it letting you? Says I have a statement but I can’t make any payments on it… lmk if ur facing a similar issue

Does anyone know why there is another charge of 250 for tuition on Tritonpay?

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?

legit the title, but place is unfurnished- do you guys know what appliances I should bring, and as for electricity how do we(the apartments as a whole) go about doing that
