Advising Information for New Transfer Students 

June 22: New Triton Advising (NTA) - Starting June 22nd, go to the New Triton Advising and enter your Academic Information by July 1st. This is the first part of your required Enrollment Checklist process.

Once you have complete your New Triton Advising, you'll receive access to the Virtual Advising Center where Eighth College Academic Advisors will be available to answer academic questions via the Ask a Question feature.

Mid-July: Access to Triton Student System (TSS)- Starting in mid-July, you'll be able to access the Triton Student System (TSS) which houses information about your academic history, financial aid, and is where you log in to book (sign up for) classes. 

July 27-31: Enrollment and Academic Planning Webinar - Offered in late July, this mandatory webinar will be Part I of your Eighth College Orientation experience. Eighth College Academic Advisors will provide information on how to prepare for Fall Quarter enrollment and answer your academic questions. A student panel will also be available to share advice on how to approach your first quarter at UC San Diego. We invite Triton Supporters to attend the webinar with their student but due to capacity restrictions we ask that they do not register or attempt to join the zoom separately. 

Early-August: Speed Advising - Following the Enrollment and Academic Planning Webinars, incoming students will have the option to sign up for individual advising to review their planned fall schedule. These speed advising sessions will be 10 minutes on zoom and sign up information will be sent out following the Enrollment and Academic Planning Webinar.

Triton Transfer HUB:

The Triton Transfer HUB provides resources, services, and programs to empower Triton Transfers to achieve their goals as they navigate UC San Diego's academic and cultural landscape. The Triton Transfer HUB assist students in their transition through active engagement in opportunities that support their paths and build community so they thrive academically, professionally, and personally. 

Over the summer, we highly recommend New Transfer attend the Summer Transfer Enrichment Program (STEP) which prepares incoming Triton Transfers for success in their transfer to UCSD. This program designed exclusively for incoming transfer students by providing a variety ways they can connect with information, resources, and each other, all before stepping onto campus for the first time in September.
