Housing Dining Hospitality

Housing is located within each of the six colleges (for first-year and returning students) and at the Village (for transfer students), creating a lifeline of thriving smaller neighborhoods within the larger UC San Diego community.

Housing includes a flexible dining plan, cable TV, housekeeping, maintenance, security, paid utilities (electricity, water, trash, and recycling), 24/7 high-speed Internet access, access to a registered dietician, and laundry facilities.

Dining

The UC San Diego Housing Contract includes a unique, declining-balance dining plan. The dining plan is flexible, allowing residents to purchase individual items according to their appetite and schedule. The dining plan allows full access to a registered dietitian who assists with specialty diets, allergies, and dietary restrictions. There are several dining locations across campus, including markets that are open until 1 a.m. hdh.ucsd.edu/diningservices

Laundry

Residents can deposit money into a Triton Cash Account for use at any on-campus laundry facility. Information is available from the Triton Card Account Services office. hdh.ucsd.edu/TCAS/pages/index.html

Triton Cash Account

Triton Cash Account is the university’s prepaid spending account linked directly to the campus ID card. It’s convenient, fast, easy, and accepted at 60+ locations on- and off-campus.

Mail

Students receive mail and packages via their Campus P.O. Box. Students receive a mailing address when their room assignment is available in August. UC San Diego is home to Amazon@UCSanDiego, a fully staffed pick-up and drop-off location situated at the campus Bookstore. Now, students can take care of all Amazon orders in one central location.

What to Bring to Move-In

Once students receive their room assignment information in August, we encourage them to contact their new roommates and discuss what each person will bring. hdh.ucsd.edu/housing/incoming/pages

Breaks and Residence Halls Closure

All residence halls are closed during winter break. Students don’t move out their personal belongings; however, occupying the residence halls during the winter break period is prohibited. During spring break, the residence halls and apartments remain open. hdh.ucsd.edu/housing/incoming/pages/ housingcontract.html

Housing Billing Statement

The housing charge is billed to the campus billing statement, the same location UC Tuition and Education fees are billed. All statements are emailed to students’ UC San Diego email account. Students can authorize a parent to receive a copy of the statement. More information regarding student housing charges are emailed in late August.
