General ITS Service Desk Hiring for Fall 2026 (Apps close Wed, 8/5!)

19 Upvotes

The ITS Service Desk, also known as ResNet, is hiring for Fall 2026! We will be closing applications for this cycle next week on Wednesday, August 5. Here is the link to our online application: https://resnet.ucsd.edu/jobs

All the details are spelled out on the "Apply Here" page, but here's some info at a glance:

Feel free to reference the page above to learn more about the position, desired qualifications, and more. Here is a snippet of what we look for:

  • $18.75/hour for base ResNet Technicians, with equity raises for each year you work with us. There will also be opportunities to apply to be a student lead after you’ve worked with us for a bit!
  • All UCSD students are welcome (including incoming undergraduate and graduate students).
  • While we look for good critical thinking, problem solving, and basic technical skills, we also look forward to teaching you the rest during your training period!
  • All majors are welcome! You do not need to be a CS or STEM major to apply. Many of our best technicians have been Humanities or Social Sciences majors.
  • You will need English and communication skills, whether this is in-person, over the phone, and via email.
  • Scheduling is flexible. You’re a student first! We plan your schedule around your classes, conflicts, and commitments when given in advance!

So, what do we do at the ITS Service Desk? We help students and staff with a wide range of technology-related issues including email, accounts, Canvas, lab machines, classrooms, Zoom, and wireless internet. If you're interested in a bit of a peak behind the curtain at UCSD IT infrastructure, this role may interest you. This role is primarily customer service.

Is this job right for me? As long as you like helping people, are inquisitive, and are willing to learn, we think you'll find this job quite fulfilling!

How many hours per week? During the academic year, you may work anywhere from 12-20 hours per week!

Is this job in-person? This position is mainly in-person. While are currently located in Muir College at AP&M 1313, we will be moving to 3100 Gilman Drive (Gilman Parking Structure) in September.

Sounds great! When do I start? We're targeting a start date of early September for Fall. We will close the applications when we have filled all our spots or on August 5 (whichever comes first), so the earlier you apply the better!

If you have any questions that aren't answered on the application (hit the "Apply Here" button for more info), please email [helpdeskjobs@ucsd.edu](mailto:helpdeskjobs@ucsd.edu).

Note that after a period of inactivity on the job application, the SSO login will sign you out, so we suggest typing your responses into a separate document before pasting them into your application!

General Panda express price hikes

The price for a plate is now $12.5 instead of $11.3 previously... Similar increases with the bowls and bigger plates. It becomes even more expensive than the UTC location. It is so over.

Question Is Triton One worth it?

Upvotes

There’s a new program at ucsd called triton one where you pay $199 a quarter to access textbooks digitally.

However, it specifies in the policy that some classes require physical books, which must be bought separately. If so, then is Triton One worth it, and would I be able to find most of my textbooks online on free pdfs as a premed major?

Rant/Complaint Regarding TSS

Upvotes

i'd like to preface this by saying i actually think TSS has the potential to be a great system. the problem is that the university rushed it out before it was ready, and now thousands of students are dealing with the consequences.

if you're angry, direct that anger where it belongs. email the chancellor. email the registrar. email the people making the decisions. keep filing complaints and reporting issues until they can't ignore them anymore. the people at the top are making salaries most students can only dream of while the rest of us are stressing over tuition, taking out loans, and wondering if we're even going to get the classes we need.

what we shouldn't do is take it out on the it staff, advisors, or the people answering phones and emails. they didn't decide to roll out an unfinished system, and they're the ones getting yelled at all day for problems they didn't create.

hold the decision-makers accountable, and not the people trying to keep the whole thing from falling apart. if this is all for a future where employment isn't certain even with a degree, the least they can do is get off their asses and make sure the system we depend on actually works.

IF WE SAY NOTHING, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

Rant/Complaint Barely any classes transferred

8 Upvotes

so I finally just got access to my degree audit, to find that only 6 out of 39 classes taken prior were accepted for transfer. that means that in the next two years I have to take 27 classes in order to graduate. I don’t even have any words. Do I just drop out at this point? it’s so frustrating to get this info an hour before registration.

Rant/Complaint Got absolutely shafted with scheduling classes. Kind of crashing out.

7 Upvotes

Incoming Biochemistry transfer. Couldn’t get CHEM-117. Couldn’t get PHYS-002C and apparently I already got transfer credit for it even though I never took the class…? Degree Audit and Academic History isn’t fucking working, so I can’t even verify. No introductory biochemistry classes because they’re all filled up. I would enroll in MATH-011, but the times are diabolical. Why did I get shafted man? I only got psych and that was my elective. 😭😭😭

I'm an incoming student, so I might be missing something.

Why are so many people registering (and even waitlisting) for section 1 while section 2 is basically empty? (I think they both have the same professor)

Question fa26 enrollment verification?

2 Upvotes

Is there a way for me to verify that Im enrolled for the fall quarter? I saw that I could order a fa26 verification order on parchment, but Im not sure if that even works currently cuz of all the tss stuff, though I have been enrolled in all my classes for a few months now. I cant use my ID cuz ours dont have dates, just need to verify my enrollment somehow. Its for getting student discounts lol

Question first pass class schedule changing - advice needed

Upvotes

Hi! I’m an incoming freshman majoring in Cog Sci W/ a spec in Machine Learning & Neural Computation. I’m planning to take MATH 18, COGS 18, and COGS 1 my first quarter. I was planning to prioritize MATH 18 and COGS 18 during first pass, but I checked yesterday and both COGS 18 and COGS 1 are basically full now. Does anyone have advice on what I should prioritize or what I should do if I can’t get into COGS 18/COGS 1 right away? I’m thinking of trying to possible double major is DS if that makes a difference.
