UC San Diego Colleges and Orientation Information:
Transfer student enrollment is from August 19th to August 23rd. If you have problems with CSE course enrollment, send email to ugradinfo@cs.ucsd.edu
Please remember to submit all official transcripts to the Office of Admissions prior to the deadline of July 15, if you are starting classes in the fall quarter. Please check to make sure that grades for classes you have completed are submitted, it is your responsibility to ensure that UCSD receives these transcripts. Call 858/534-8007 to speak with a transcript evaluator if your course grades are not yet posted on TritonLink.
You must make sure that all of your courses have been transferred by checking your "Academic History" via TritonLink. You may find that not all of the courses you transferred in are equivalent to UCSD classes. Another website that may assist you with determining equivalent courses is Assist.org.
If you transferred in a class that you feel is equivalent to a required course for your major, and the course did not get listed as equivalent to a UCSD course, you will need to submit a petition. In order to submit a petition for review, you need to complete a general petition form, and attach a copy of the course description for the course that you took at your college. This process can take up to several weeks, so please be sure to submit your petition as early as possible. The courses you completed at your college must be listed as equivalent to our UCSD courses, in your Academic History on TritonLink, to be counted for your degree requirements.
Sometimes, transferable course numbers are listed incorrectly in the Academic History section in TritonLink. Your CSE Major Advisor can fix CSE transferable courses so you get credit, if you let us know that a course is listed incorrectly.An error like this will keep you from enrolling into other CSE courses.
CSE 8A, CSE 8AL, and CSE 8B:
Students without programming experience in a compiled language should start with CSE 8A and CSE 8AL in their first quarter at UC San Diego. CSE 8B is then taken in the second quarter and is needed to complete this sequence.
CSE 11:
Students with programming experience may start with CSE 11 in their first quarter of study at UC San Diego.
Approximations/Equivalency:
Students that have completed a programming course in Java, but the course is not posted on Assist.org, must submit a petition for review and approval. Please do this as soon as you can.
Petitions are submitted to your CSE Major Advisor.
Students that have completed a programming course in Java (CSE 8B or CSE 11) will enroll into CSE 12 in their first quarter of study at UC San Diego.
Approximation/Equivalency:
Students that have completed a programming course in data structures and object-oriented, but the course is not posted on Assist.org, must submit a petition for review and approval. Please do this as soon as you can.

We have two CSE Majors Advisors to assist you with getting started. Come see us in the CSE Building, first floor in the CSE Student Affairs Wing. - Students with last name A-L, see Viera Kair in room 1236, or email vkair@cs.ucsd.edu, or call 858/822-1535
- Students with last name M-Z, see Pat Raczka in room 1238, or email raczka@cs.ucsd.edu, or call 858/534-3621
The Jacobs School maintains electronic mailings lists that we use when we need to notify you of course changes, major requirement changes, announcements of important forums, and even job notices, therefore, check your UCSD email account regularly.
A word to the wise: We are very busy during the first two weeks of the quarter (add/drop period), therefore, please plan accordingly. One more point: DO NOT believe every rumor you hear, always check with us first. This will save you a lot of headaches! Believe it or not, the department is a better source of information than your roommate(s) and/or friend(s).
We are here to guide you and make your experience at UCSD a great one! We look forward to seeing you in the fall. In the meantime, enjoy your summer.
Respectfully yours,
Viera Kair and Patricia M. Raczka, (CSE Undergradaute Student Affairs Staff)
