New Incoming Students: Housing for 2024-25

Welcome to our new Triton Families! As you and your student prepare for Fall 2024, we have essential resources to help ensure a smooth transition into the on-campus housing experience. In addition, our UC San Diego Parent and Family Program have created a New Family Checklist to help you better support your student as they navigate the new incoming student process. 

While campus housing is optional, please note that to maintain your student's two-year housing guarantee as a new admit, they must reside on campus during their admit year and the subsequent academic year (2025-26). The housing guarantee cannot be deferred to a later date.

Here are actionable tips to ensure eligibility for the two-year housing guarantee:

  1. Confirm your acceptance to UC San Diego via the Applicant Portal by the University's deadline.
  2. Your student must set up their Single Sign-On account and activate their ucsd.edu email. Housing application invitations will only be sent after these steps are completed.
  3. Adhere to all housing deadlines to retain the housing guarantee. Missing a deadline forfeits the guarantee, but students can join the Fall Waitlist, if needed starting on July 9th. 
  4. Encourage your student to check their ucsd.edu email frequently for vital updates and deadlines.
  5. Familiarize yourself with housing processes and policies by reviewing the following websites:

We're here to support your student's housing journey at UC San Diego. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Triton Cash

Your student spoke and we listened. Students asked for more dining flexibility in their Dining Plans. Beginning in Fall 2024, Triton Cash is now part of our dining plans! Check out the 60+ Triton Cash vendors that accept Triton Cash both on and off campus. Students can also use their Triton Cash from the dining plan to do their laundry.
