It is not only where you paid your commitment deposit to USD, but is also where you will go to register for classes, pay your bill, check your grades and conduct much of your academic and financial business.

Throughout your years at USD, you will see different tabs and have access to different information, so it is a good idea to get in the habit of checking the portal regularly.

Your MySanDiego portal is also where you will find your New Student Checklist to help you keep track of tasks and deadlines.

An orientation email from your specific program will be sent out a week after you declare a major.

TRANSFER EXPERIENCE

TRANSFER EXPERIENCE Transfer Learning Community All transfer students will participate in a Transfer Learning Community (TLC) in their first semester at USD. Your Transfer Learning Community will help you learn to integrate knowledge across your curriculum, building the skills and the relationships that will help you succeed. Being in a TLC will help ease your academic and social transition to USD, expand your intellectual curiosity beyond the classroom and establish an immediate sense of community with your faculty and fellow transfer students.

While in a TLC, you will take a course from an esteemed member of the faculty, better learning to make connections between the classroom and your life experiences. Built around the theme Engage, your TLC will ensure you have peak academic and social experiences while at USD.

TLC Courses Your TLC course is linked to your Transfer Learning Community theme and is limited to about 20 transfer students. This course size is about half the size of a regular upper-division course. In your TLC course, you will learn to recognize broad connections between different ways of problem-solving and learn to articulate the benefits of using multiple perspectives to identify solutions to today’s urgent challenges. This course will fulfill your First-Year Integration requirement for the CORE curriculum.

TLC Theme Engage As a new member of the USD community and the Engage TLC, you’ll work toward solidarity, connecting with members of the USD community and beyond to facilitate discourse and encourage equitable participation in civic life.

People to Know During Your Semester TLC Faculty A TLC faculty member is the professor teaching your TLC course.

Transfer Scholastic Assistants Transfer Scholastic Assistants (TSAs) are successful students who transferred into USD and serve as a point of connection for new transfer students. They are assigned to, and are responsible for, a particular TLC course.

Resident Assistants Resident assistants (RAs) are continuing students who live in your residence hall and facilitate your transition to USD and serve as a resource for your first year.

Community Director Community directors (CDs) are full-time staff who live and work in each of the residential communities. Your CD supervises the RAs to create events. CDs are also excellent resources for assisting with any challenges you may be facing from academic concerns to learning to live with a new roommate.

Resident Ministers There is one resident minister (RM) for each residence hall. RMs make connections between Residential Life and University Ministry. Resident ministers are your allies and confidants, available to answer questions about everything from faith and spirituality to stress, relationships and decision-making.

University Ministry Resident Assistant Each RA staff has one University Ministry RA (UMRA). This RA works with the resident minister to host weekly faith sharing groups and serves as a resource for students who want to learn more about mission and ministry at USD.

WELLNESS AND SAFETY Wellness Services Health Insurance Submit an online form to actively enroll in or waive the USD Student Health Insurance Plan by Feb. 6, 2019. Failure to take action by the deadline will result in automatic enrollment, in which case you will be responsible for the health insurance premium billed to your student account.

All full-time USD students are required to carry health insurance. When you are admitted and/or register for classes, your student account will be charged for the USD Student Health Insurance Plan. To remove this charge, you can waive coverage if you already have other insurance. If you do not have coverage, you need to either enroll in USD’s plan or in another plan, and then continue with the waiver process. A new decision form needs to be submitted at the beginning of every academic year.

For information about the USD Student Health Insurance requirement, or for instructions on how to enroll or waive, visit the Student Health Insurance Requirement website. sandiego.edu/health-insurance

Make Early Contact with Wellness Services If you have an ongoing psychological or health condition and need ongoing access to prescription medication, or you have a documented disability requesting accommodation, please contact the appropriate wellness unit prior to arriving on campus.

In order for anyone — parents, guardians, spouses or other family members — to have access to your information, you must first provide official approval. It is easy to do but, without this, the university will not be able to share information about your grades, courses, bills or any other information with anyone but you.

Safety Escort Service

You also need to add a start and end date for each person. ūū On the Authorization tab, click on the items for which you are providing access. This must be done for each authorized user.

• When you are finished, each user will receive an email with instructions on how to set up the account in order to receive the approved information.

u To report an incident (nonemergency): • Call (619) 260-7777 (ext. 7777 from any on-campus phone).

(619) 260-7777 Or use any blue emergency phone on campus.

Emergency Mass Notification In the event of an emergency, DPS will employ either or both of our all-campus alert systems. The mass notification system will send a combination of texts, emails and voicemails concurrently to every community member (student, faculty and staff ). Additionally, our outdoor notification system allows DPS to broadcast campus alerts as necessary through speakers located around campus. All community members are encouraged to keep their contact information updated on the MySanDiego portal so that they may receive these critical announcements.

Emergency Procedures DPS strongly encourages all members of the USD community to be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times, and to familiarize yourself with the important campus emergency procedures and information located on the Emergency Preparedness website.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE Meal Plans

Dining Dollars

Meal Plans are designed to enhance your USD experience.

Unlimited access dinner and brunch meals offer a wide range of choices and foster a sense of community while you break bread with other Toreros in the Pavilion Dining Room.

Dining Dollars work just like cash and can be used at all campus dining locations on many food and beverage items.

Dining Dollars may not be used to purchase grocery items, bulk candy, nonfood merchandise or alcohol.

You have your choice of a variety of meal plan options designed to fit individual eating habits and busy academic schedules. Whether you are interested in a hot breakfast, lunch on the run, a late night snack, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or halal meals, there are options for you.

Unlike meals, unused Dining Dollars will roll over from the fall semester to the spring semester. Dining Dollars expire at the end of the spring semester on the last day of undergraduate finals.

Meal plans are made up of meals, equivalencies, Dining Dollars and guest meals.

• Carefully review the complete meal plan options and policies before selecting a plan.

• Select the plan of your choice online via the MySanDiego portal within the New Student tab.

In most instances, you will have a meal plan during your first and second year. The minimum required resident plan, which will be assigned for the academic year, is determined by your residential status and total number of eligible units.

Required plans may not be reduced or canceled at any time.

Once a meal plan is purchased or assigned for the year, that will be your plan for the fall and spring semesters. You will be automatically assigned the same meal plan that you have in the fall, for the spring semester.

All of the meal plans, complete meal plan policies and FAQs can be found on the Dining website. sandiego.edu/dining

u To select a meal plan:

u To use your meal plan: • You must present your Torero ID card at the register.

• Meal plan meals may only be used at Pavilion Dining (Student Life Pavilion, level 1) for unlimited access brunch (on weekends) and dinner (daily). ūū Unlimited access means you swipe one meal and can return for seconds and more during the meal time frame.

• À la carte prices apply to breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday in Pavilion Dining. ūū You may use Dining Dollars, Campus Cash, cash, Visa or MasterCard to pay for à la carte items.

Meals Meals expire at the end of each semester on the last day of undergraduate finals. Meals do not roll over from semester to semester.

If you run out of meals, you may purchase a new meal plan, use cash, purchase Campus Cash or Dining Dollars any time throughout the year via the MySanDiego portal.
