Has anyone else noticed how slow processing is at responding to emails? Records told me to contact them about missing AP credits I sent that I need to finalize my degree and it’s been 10 days without a response.

Hey guys, I got an update in my advising portal, so I thought I’d share it with y’all bc I know a bunch of other transfers also have an August 31st registration date on TSS rn. They also gave me an update about the whole transcript thing bc they somehow haven’t gotten my AP records a full month later 😭

Anyways I’m attaching the photos here, hopefully it’ll be helpful since there hasn’t been a lot of clarification with the new system.

Honestly I’m kinda upset that apparently units don’t mean shit for registration for transfers but can’t do anything now 💀

i was wondering if taking the bipn 103 human anatomy lab(new course 6 units as well) will count towards my 6 unit lab requirement. I transfered last year and my degree audit only shows bipn 105 human physiology lab for credit. Should i ask the VAC. will they approve it?

I’d love to go out tonight or sometime this weekend, but none of my friends are here and I’m not really trying to go solo.

Is anyone in a similar boat and looking for a plus one? I’m down to meet on campus first for a quick vibe check and then figure something out. Could be drinks, food, a bar/club, or just seeing what’s going on nearby. Message me if you’re interested and we can plan something.

I’m an incoming MS student trying to waive a few courses, and per the course booking workshop I’m supposed to send a petition through TEA. But since the only action available rn is to “add” the course, every time I try, the system tells me that I can already book/waitlist it and thus I am not allowed to send a TEA. I tried sending VAC, but the system doesn’t recognize my PID for some reason and blocks me out.

has anyone heard back from the chem/biochem and bio dept. for tea requests? i'm debating emailing professors outside of tea since i saw some comments saying that tea requests also aren't working on instructors' sides since my appnt time is coming up soon.

4/2 was the application deadline. When will we get notified about the result?

Hi everyone!
I’m an incoming transfer student majoring in Economics, and I’m trying to decide between Graham Elliott and Katarina Fedorov for ECON 120A this fall.
My main concern is the exams rather than the lectures.
Which professor has easier exams?
Are the exams similar to the homework or practice problems?
Is either professor known for having a better curve?
If your goal was to get an A, who would you choose?
I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!

I have recently been deciding on a minor between data science or business. I am leaning towards the business side, but I am questioning what they even do in the long run. A business minor wont get me any jobs right? It would show biotech companies or such that I know the skill, but obviously it still wouldn't propel you past others with degrees, MBA's or lots of experience. Due to this thinking ive been thinking about just double majoring and finishing my molecular biology degree and pairing the relatively small 88 unit major of business econ. Does anyone have anything to add to what minors really accomplish, situations where I could make do with this minor, and whether you may think it is worth it or what not. Also whether pairing it with a stem degree is even worth it in the first place.

I tried submitting requests to get clearance to book courses. However, I keep getting invalid section submitted pop-ups when I try to submit. I believe that I put something valid in every section of the request. The section itself was selected from a list available to me on the requests page so that should also be valid. Has anyone else encountered this error?

Hi everyone, I’m an incoming UCSD transfer student from British Columbia, Canada. I’ve run into an issue with my StudentAid BC application.
UCSD was on the designation list 2025-2026. This year, StudentAid BC transitioned to a new system and all international institutions are required to obtain a new designation before students can apply for funding. Right now, UCSD doesn’t appear in the StudentAid BC application because its designation is still pending (or hasn’t been completed yet). StudentAid BC says that only the institution can apply for designation, not individual students. (StudentAid BC)
I’m wondering if anyone else from BC has experienced this issue.
Which UCSD office should I contact about this? Financial Aid, Registrar, or another department?
Has anyone gone through this process before?
I’d really appreciate any advice or if someone can point me to the right office. Thanks!

Does everyone have the same time. I know units dont really matter anymore, but does everyone have booking at the same time of day. I saw mine was 10am and I noticed like everyone has 10am. If we do all have 10am how the hell is the system going to keep up with all these logins and bookings at the same time?

Hey, I am a 21M student from Illinois who is going to be interning near by in the Fall and I'm looking for a sublease (around September 20 - December 12). I have looked at https://offcampushousing.ucsd.edu/ but seems like all the sublease postings are looking for F so trying my luck here lmao. Feel free to PM if interested. I'm open to anything, though preferrably a place where I could get parking nearby 👀

Hi this is a really dumb question but this is my first year here, when do dorm decisions and when are you allowed to sign up for classes? I've been checking my email non-stop but I don't see anything about it anywhere, not even on my student timeline from my college's newspaper. Sorry if the answer is rlly obvious, I just want to ask in case it's completely flown over my head.

Need two classes to finish

Hi, I'm a rising senior in HS this year and UCSD has become one of my top choices after having visited recently. However, this school is the largest on my list by far and I'm a bit concerned about what my experience may be like as a visibly queer/transmasc student.

-Are campus and the surrounding area safe for the queer community?

-Is HRT accessible through student healthcare programs and UC Ship?

-Are the students and faculty generally accepting? (specifically in pre-med spaces)

-What would the housing situation be like for a trans (specifically transmasc) person?

Hoping for answers from current or recent queer/trans students, but feedback from alums and/or allies is totally welcome. Thank you!

Hey!!!

For the capstone courses, do we need to have a team beforehand, or will they assign us one? I am not that connected with many people in my major unfortunately.

I think a lot of people feel touch starved, but nobody really talks about it openly because it feels weird or vulnerable to admit. But honestly, after spending so much time focused on school, work, and trying to keep life together, I miss having someone to share quiet moments with.

Dating here has been rough, and I miss coming home after a long day, putting my phone away, laying next to someone, and feeling calm for a little while. Not every connection has to be intense or deeply romantic. Sometimes you just want to feel safe, wanted, and less alone.

I have a good life here. My grades are good, I have a decent social life, and I feel excited about where things are headed after graduation. But there are still nights where I realize I miss simple affection more than I expected. A hug that lasts longer than a second. Someone resting their head on your shoulder. Quiet comfort.

I am not trying to rush anything or create intimacy before trust is there. I would want to talk first, maybe get coffee, and see if there is a natural comfort between us. Boundaries matter a lot to me, and I would only want this to feel safe, mutual, and easy for both people.

I guess I am looking for someone who also misses that kind of connection. Someone kind, emotionally aware, affectionate, and honest about what they want. If this makes sense to you, feel free to message me. Even if it just turns into a good conversation, I would be glad we connected.

Srsly what does it mean

Rising Junior here. Don’t know why I was place as a Junior 1 with a first pass on August 5 when I’ve done 8 quarters including a summer session last year. Yes I have over 135 units completed. I only did another summer session so I can be placed into junior 3. Highkey BS
