Questions?
Current students can reach us via the UC San Diego Services & Support portal. If you are not a student or if you are not currently enrolled at UCSD, please email us at sfs@ucsd.edu.
Note: Students receiving any third party sponsorship (including VA) must report it to the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office.
A tuition pre-payment "credit" should appear on the student account within 3-5 business days following Student Financial Solutions receipt of the financial support letter. This pre-payment will appear as a waiver on the student's account and indicates that Student Financial Solutions has advanced payment on the student's behalf in anticipation of receipt of funds from the sponsoring agency. This pre-payment does not mean that the University has received the actual payment.
Sponsorship credit must be applied prior to every quarter's tuition payment due date. A valid Financial Support Letter (ie: financial guarantee, authorization, or memorandum) must be on file with Student Financial Solutions at all times in order to process sponsorship credit. Submit any new/updated letters by the following quarterly deadlines to ensure processing by payment due date:
If you are unsure of the expiration date of your financial support letter, contact your sponsor directly. For the payment schedule by quarter, please see Enrollment & Registration Calendar.
Prior to the start of each quarter, log-on to TritonLink to view your student account information. Ensure the following items are completed:
*Note: Certain sponsors provide health insurance coverage, and therefore will not pay for University Health Insurance (USHIP). To opt out of USHIP, you must complete the Health Fee Waiver on TritonLink. For more information, visit the Student Health Services Website . You must complete a health insurance waiver every academic year by the indicated deadline. If not waived, you will be billed for this fee.
An agency with a past due balance may have its billing privileges terminated. Students should be aware that they are ultimately responsible for any defaults in payments by the sponsoring agency.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure their account balance is current. Any balance that remains unpaid by the appropriate deadline may result in a hold, preventing sponsorship credit application for future quarters. Additionally, the account may become subject to late fee assessment .
