Planning Ahead

Families and students may access the UC San Diego Budgets and Costs of Attendance page for up-to-date information on the cost of UC San Diego. While this tool is for planning purposes, it helps determine approximately how much money students need to attend UC San Diego and how much financial aid they need to meet that goal. students.ucsd.edu/finances/financial-aid/ budgeting

Tuition and Fees

Access the most up-to-date information on tuition and fees from the Student Financial Solutions website including billing due dates, receiving and understanding billing, and payment options. students.ucsd.edu/finances/billing-payment/ index.html

Billing and Payment Three most important things parents should know:

1. Parents will only have access to billing after they have been authorized by the student. 2. UC San Diego uses an electronic billing system called E-Bill. 3. Once a month, students receive a bill reminder via their ucsd.edu email. Authorized parents receive an email reminder to check their E-Bill account online.

How do parents receive their student’s bill?

The university regards students as adults with certain privacy rights, regardless of the student’s age (see FERPA information on p. 20). SFS staff discusses billing and related issues only with the student, unless students enrolled their parent as an authorized payer. SFS may not disclose certain information about the student without the student’s prior written consent.

How do parents become an authorized payer?

In TritonLink, students log into the Authorize a Payer tool and register up to three payers to view and pay the bill online.

Parents receive an email notice from ebill@ ucsd.edu, with the subject line “UC San Diego E-Bill Authorization — Action Needed.” This email is only valid for 14 days and allows the recipient to set up a username and password. Once authorized as a payer, SFS speaks to the parent about their student’s bill or account activity.

Scholarship Checks from an Outside Agency Scholarships must be sent to UC San Diego:

1. Ensure the agency makes the check payable to “UC Regents.” 2. Include the student’s PID (personal ID) and full name on the check. 3. Mail the check to:

Student Financial Solutions Attn: Scholarships 9500 Gilman Drive La Jolla, CA 92093-0026

Refunds and Direct Deposits

Student Account refunds are issued to the student. Students are strongly encouraged to sign up for Direct Deposit, the fastest and safest way to receive refunds. Otherwise, a check is mailed to the current address listed on TritonLink.
