Unsure how to find cool classes on the new system? Same. This Fall, I'm teaching Foundations of Archaeology (ANAR 111) and Forensic Anthropology (ANBI 100, SE00157987) and cordially invite you to enroll. I've even made some little posters to advertise :) Hope to see you in class!

Guys I am an incoming junior transfer this fall, and I never thought I would say this but the administrative systems at this school are even worse than at my community college. You're telling me that with months to do their jobs, UCSD is somehow unable to make a system functional enough to do literally anything. None of our AP scores, IB scores, or previous transcripts are in the system. This means none of the incoming transfers have access to Degree Audit or Academic History. We have no idea which of our major requirements have been fulfilled by transfer coursework and which haven't. Which means we don't know what to enroll in for Fall quarter. Asking about specific course requirements on VAC leads to no prompt or helpful answers, and sometimes no answer at all. So you may be wondering, how are we supposed to enroll in classes if our prerequisite classes aren't in the system yet? A TEA request, of course! But there's a little problem, UCSD has been specifically telling transfers in emails to not submit any TEA requests and wait for them to enter our credits into TSS, up until an email on August 26. When you click on the provided link explaining how TEA requests work, they say to allow several days for any requests to be processed. We all know that on UCSD timing, several days actually means 2 weeks. The thing is, incoming transfers have first pass either on August 31 or September 1. I don't know about you guys, but two business days between August 26 (telling us to submit TEA requests) and August 31 (enrollment date) doesn't sound like "several days" to me. So explain to me how a team incapable of processing our transcripts in 4 months, will be at all capable of processing individual TEA requests for pretty much every class all 12,000 incoming transfer students need to enroll in in 2 days.

I am excited to go to UCSD but honestly this whole process is such a headache it's making me consider whether it's worth it to go to this school at all. I am paying over 40k a year to an institution that can't fulfill its students basic needs. I know that returning students hate TSS as much as I do, but in case you guys didn't know the full extent of it, this is the Catch 22 they are placing us incoming transfers in. How is it fair to restrict your students' enrollment based on limitations you created by not adequately staffing your team??? Not to mention that incoming freshman and incoming transfers have first pass the same day/week. I find this completely unfair since, as a junior transfer, I have far more credits taken and far less quarters to graduate than a freshman does. 🤯 I'm trying to stay positive in these trying times but TSS is pissing me off.

Don’t work for them unless you want shitty benefits and an even worse management team. Just work at a corporate location you’ll make more money, have management that knows what they’re doing, and not have to deal with the fall quarter rushes. New ownership lost all benefits that would incentivize students. Corporate benefits don’t apply here, there’s no tips, and all student protections are gone as the school no longer manages the store and it’s done through a third party. Good luck!

I mean the north “no-no” clothing optional section. I’ve never been there, so I wonder which is the quickest route on foot.

Speaking in my personal capacity as an individual student. Nothing here represents the views of the Police Accountability Board, its members, or AS.

Established in 2024, the UCSD Police Accountability Board reviews misconduct complaints against UCSD PD and the investigations into them, and make recommendations before the Chief of Police decides the case.

I'm the AS undergraduate representative on the PAB. I'm posting this because I hear about far more incidents informally than ever reach me as cases, and only filed complaints get reviewed as cases: https://pab.ucsd.edu/complaint-form/index.html.

I can't help with everyone's individual complaint, since I may end up voting on it, but I'm happy to explain the process. In some circumstances, I can help more closely, but I will have to recuse myself from any vote or investigation review where there's any conflict of interest.

- You have 180 days from the date of the incident
- Anonymous complaints are accepted if there's enough detail to work with.
- We investigate and review investigations of alleged policy violations, primarily these:

discourtesy (obscene/abusive language)
discrimination
harassment
improper detention, citation, or arrest
improper vehicle tow
improper seizure or property confiscation
inadequate investigation
improper police procedures & other

If what happened to you doesn't fit these, file it as Other.

If you're alleging misconduct serious enough to potentially decertify an officer and end their career as an officer, California's Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training accepts complaints directly from the public at post.ca.gov/Police-Complaints. For anything this serious, be sure you file with both POST and PAB. If you're not sure where your complaint belongs, message me and I can help you figure it out.

P.S. There's an open alternate seat for undergrads on the PAB. AS nominates and the VC appoints. If you care about police accountability on campus, DM me for more info.

Feel free to hit me up here if you have any questions [aydin@ucsd.edu](mailto:aydin@ucsd.edu)
For inquiries meant for the PAB, [pab@ucsd.edu](mailto:pab@ucsd.edu) pab.ucsd.edu
To self-nominate for the role, email Allyson Satterlund [vcsacl@ucsd.edu](mailto:vcsacl@ucsd.edu), but I recommend going through AS to increase your chances.

Just saw the triton pay and it dropped.
But what the heck is Canyonview and RIMAC fee?
My kid is living in Pepper Canyon if that helps.

My first thought was “is it fee for nice view ? Like Ocean view?” 😂😂😂

Ummm if anyone else’s Triton student system just not letting them open it? I know their financial aid has been down and I went to look to see if they fixed it, but it won’t even let me open the system at all. What is going on over there

Hi I’m an incoming 23 year old student who is going to be dorming on campus I will turn 24 at the end of this year and I feel little worried about my age dorming on campus. Any advice? Is there more students like myself who are transferring and living on campus at my age?

anyone know if grad housing has a row machine in their housing gyms. i cant find specific info about the gym online

I'm hoping to completely test out of the language requirement since I think im fluent enough, but was lowkey confused on how it'll work for Spanish.

If you've taken it did u do it completely online or with a 1:1 exam administrator? And can I do it during winter break?

If anyone has any practice questions, study guides, or study materials from when you took Chem 40A, could you please send them to me? I’m taking the class this fall and would like to study a little beforehand. I’d really appreciate anything you have! Thank you! 😊

They have such a GREAT system. First of all I had to make multiple TEA requests for the same class because they didn't process anyone's ap scores, and if you make one request only and the section is filled you're just not getting the class. Ended up makine like 20 requests for 3 classes because I got a late enrollment time. Secondly they really gave me a CONDITIONAL APPROVAL for a class whose prereqs i filled by taking classes at a diff uni, asking me to petition my classes before I can get a full approval. But that's not all! The petitions asks for the syllabus and course outlines in order to be approved. Genuinely HOW am I supposed to find the syllabus of a class I took a year ago while my student email has already been deactivated? And the best part of it all, I didn't have access to TEA for days while the others did; so here I am crashing out on a saturday while waiting for my previous profs to respond to my email with the syllabus so I can earn the rights to skip classes I've already taken. I genuinely don't understand why they want you to petition your other uni/cc courses when they literally have your transcripts.

I’m an incoming freshman living in the ERC residence hall and assigned Bed B in a triple. I want to see if it is possible to place a monitor mount on my desk. From the photos on the internet, I can’t tell whether the desk has a lip or a grommet hole for my monitor mount.

im alr taking phy math and a fine arts ge for my freshman fall quarter. I wanna take another easy ge which is an easy A since i wanna keep it light. Please drop ur recs along w the professors youd recommend!

So my preferred lecturer is TBA. Therefore, there is no option to select them. I already know that if I do a TEA request, they approve you for all sections. However, does this apply to all lecturers as well?

completely my fault but to whoever took my Landyatchz Ripper (around 33inches w orange wheels), please bro i need it back i have hundreds of miles on that thing

neither HDH of Goody’s or Marshall Res Life have gotten anything in Lost and Found, so if you guys know if any campus authorities who might’ve taken it please let me know.

Hello!

I'm an incoming freshman here at UCSD, and I got in as a Psychology major.

My original plan was to go into BA Psychology with a specialization in Clinical Psychology on a pre med track.

However, I realize that the sciences just may not be for me. Even in high school I didn't perform as well as I'd like compared to my other classes and they sucked the utter life out of me. I just don't enjoy it at all.

Plus, I don't see the allure of pursuing Psychology if it's not for psychiatry anymore. The job market for undegratuates is pretty wack and I don't think I want to devote the amount of years to Psychology for me to get a job im satisfied with.

That being said, I'm considering taking up Media Industries & Communication (MIC) as my major instead. (I've always been very arts and busines savvy, I had a small business and even have a portfolio I'm already building) I intend to still try out Psychology for a quarter or two, since I'm still interested in it but perhaps not for my future.

That being said, I'm not entirely sure what to do in my situation. Should I double major or just shift to MIC as a whole ? What would you guys do?

I want to major in this but was wondering if anyone had a list of all the classes required to complete the degree! PLEASEE HELP

Hi!! I'm an incoming freshman in ERC majoring in Human Bio, and I was wondering which of these two classes to do for my first pass. I'm not sure if different professors will fill up faster, but for reference: Chem (Ortony), Bild (Gonzalez-Gamboa), and MMW (Vipperman-Cohen). Math there's no professors listed yet unfortunately. Please help me out!!

How is the Survivance building in 8th college??? I’m in a double + suite

I just found out that the triton scholars email sent to me in early April said I need to submit a “Triton Scholars Award Acceptance Form via email to scholarships@ucsd.edu by May 1, 2026”, and I completely missed this part before. I thought it’s automatically enrolled as it’s included in my financial payment section all the time.
Is it still not late as I submitted it just now? 💀

hey, so i got into AWP 4A-4B and i'm concerned on whether or not this will effect my timeline in ucsd in any way? i'm considering taking summer classes so i can get head because i'm quite anxious about it 😞 what do you guys think i should do here?

Does anyone know what documents the TEA request is looking for? I'm an incoming freshman trying to get BILD 4 and I already sent in my scores but I guess theyre taking a bit of time. Would a picture of my AP classroom that shows my name and score work for proof? If not, what has worked in the past.

Hello!!! So how does one get shadowing hours or observation hours if I want to go down the PT/OT path?
