Get ready for an exciting journey at UCSD in Fall 2026! Here's how you can prepare:
First, make sure to send all your official transcripts and test scores to the Admissions Portal. Complete the online training, like iTriton if you're an international student, and sort out your housing plans.
For class registration, check out your course recommendations by July 31 and get ready to sign up on August 12 through WebReg. Take any necessary placement exams for math, language, or chemistry to ensure you’re in the right classes.
As move-in day approaches, pack your essentials like towels, pillows, and bedding for an extra-long twin bed. If you're an international student, you can arrive up to 30 days before your visa start date, which is September 21, 2026.
Before classes start, explore clubs and get to know the campus layout, including dining halls and the UCSD Shuttle system. Think about safe ways to get around, whether it’s walking, biking, or using public transit.
Remember these key dates:
- July 31, 2026: Course recommendations are available.
- August 12, 2026: Enrollment for the fall quarter begins.
- September 21, 2026: International students can start arriving.
You're about to embark on an incredible adventure, so take these steps to make it a smooth and exciting transition!
