@crystallight - Once you have accepted your admissions to UCSD, and paid the $250 deposit, you should get an email from UCSD asking that you create your UC San Diego Triton login. Once you follow the email instructions and do that, you will login in to your Triton account and that’s where you will see a Triton Checklist of things you should do and the deadlines for doing them.
One of those things you MUST DO BY MAY 8 is apply for housing. This is simply you click on the item that’s labeled something like “Apply for Housing”. This must be done by May 8. Thats all you need to do is click on it. Nothing else to do yet (i.e., no deposits, no choosing roommates, no choosing room types…This stuff comes later).
After you click on that “Apply for Housing” button, you will get an email telling you three things:
-
“Congratulations, Our records show that you have accepted your admissions offer from UC San Diego and applied for on campus housing.”
-
That a Housing Contract link will become available on June 11 at your Checklist, and you will need to complete the 4-step housing contract and give a $450 deposit by June 28.
3)Also, in that email you will be given instructions on how to activate your UCSD email account.
Also, go to your Applicant Portal and make sure all the items are checked off with a green check mark—There are 5 items at the bottom of that page you need to complete. This is the website where you received your admissions decision.
