Undergraduate Admissions

Admissions Process

Are you ready to be a Triton? Follow the buttons on the right — whether you're interested in applying as a freshman, a transfer student, or need information as an international student, you'll find everything you need.

And here's what out-of-state applicants need to know.

Parents and Families

For many students, family involvement and advice is a big part of the decision-making process. Talk with our Admissions Officers and visit the Parent and Family website.

Student-Led Campus Tours

One of the best ways to discover the beautiful UC San Diego campus is to sign up for a walking tour for prospective students: Triton Tours for individuals or School Group Tours. Sign up online.

Resources for Veterans

If you're a prospective or newly admitted student who's also a current or former member of the U.S. Armed Forces, we can help you find many available services, and get you to the right office or people to meet your specific needs.
