STAY ON TOP OF FEES
The billing statement for Winter quarter tuition and registration fees will be available to view on TritonLink beginning Dec. 3, and payments are due by Dec. 13.
Do you want to pay tuition and registration fees in monthly installments as opposed to the quarterly lump sum? Sign up for Triton Registration Installment Plan
(
TRIP
)!
TRIP divides tuition and registration fees into three monthly payments per quarter. Students can enroll on
TritonLink
or parents can enroll on the
Authorized Payer portal
for either a single quarter, the academic year, or all future quarters at UC San Diego. Please note that there is a non-refundable application fee of $40.

TIPS ON FINALS WEEK FROM OUR TCPLs
|
|
FINALS WEEK ADVICE TO FAMILIES
- "You know your student best - whether they like space or they like to have a support group around them. Be available to hear them out or check-in on them."
- "Encourage them to go to office hours. Too often teacher's assistants and professors see very little of their students...They are here to help students learn, so students should take advantage of the opportunity. If they are nervous, encourage them to go with a friend or send an email!"
- "Reassure your student and build their confidence by letting them know that you are proud of how they have managed their quarter so far and build excitement around seeing them soon (creating a happy end goal can help reduce finals anxiety)."
|
|
MORE TIPS TO SHARE WITH YOUR STUDENT
- "Study with friends from the same classes."
- "Utilize free food events on campus, de-stress events, and check out the Therapy Fluffies Extravaganza!"
- "Get plenty of rest and eat well."
- "Organize any notes before your final exam."
- "Make it a point to take a break from your study environment."
- "Utilize on campus resources such as The Zone, CAPS, and your teacher's assistants for assistance."
- "Try to make a 4-year plan with the department advisor. With course offerings and a degree audit, creating this 4-year plan can make course enrollment easier for future quarters."
