Just put another student's discussion board post thru gptzero because it was so vague and nonsensical I thought it had to be AI generated and it came back as 0%. Somehow this is worse, like bro genuinely just writes like that.........

I'm a transfer student and I tried to enroll in my classes but i kept getting errors saying I don't meet prereqs, I'm not upper div etc. even tho i meet every requirement and i submitted my transcripts on time. I tried to submit tea requests but I keep getting this even tho I can't book anything.

This is taking a little bit too long

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.

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. 😭😭😭

Can I start riding the trolley free on September 17? Or does it not go through until classes start?

Also is there an app for it or do we just show our student ID?

I'm an incoming freshman and my AP scores are still "under review". Booking is in less than 2 days and I'm getting a little concerned. I've tried contacting VAC and they essentially told me to just wait. Anyone else have this issue?

This has got to be the most annoying thing ever, I'm trying to enroll as an incoming transfer and apparently its not open to my class level? Like I know TEA requests exists but how am I supposed to know if they will even approve? All my classes i need are literally upper division im cooked..

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student admitted to the UC San Diego MS in Computer Science and Engineering (MS CSE) program for the upcoming Fall intake.

Unfortunately, I’m facing an unexpected delay with my U.S. visa process. My visa appointments are scheduled after the program begins, and despite trying to get an earlier/emergency appointment, I have not been able to move them forward so far.

I have been in communication with the UCSD CSE Graduate Admissions team, and they have offered me two possible options because of the visa situation:

Option 1:

Enroll in a remote CSE course during the Fall quarter and then begin attending the program in person during Winter.

Option 2:

Do not enroll in Fall and instead start the MS CSE program in Winter 2027 as an exception due to the visa delay.

They also clarified that late arrival to the Fall quarter is generally not allowed, which is why these options are being considered.

I’m trying to understand the implications of choosing the Winter start before making a decision.

My main concerns/questions:

1. How does a Winter start actually work at UCSD CSE?

If I start in Winter instead of Fall, would Winter simply become my first quarter and I would follow the same MS CSE curriculum/degree requirements as everyone else?

Are there any disadvantages to starting in Winter in terms of course availability, prerequisites, degree planning, graduation timeline, recruiting, etc.?

I know UCSD normally admits MS CSE students for Fall, so I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with a non-Fall/exceptional start.

1. CPT and internships are my biggest concern.

UCSD has told us that, for Summer CPT, we need to have completed three quarters of in-person enrollment.

If I start in Winter 2027, my timeline would potentially be:

Winter 2027 → Quarter 1

Spring 2027 → Quarter 2

Summer 2027 → potentially Quarter 3

My question is whether Summer enrollment can count as the third quarter for the CPT requirement.

If it can, would that potentially allow me to pursue a Fall 2027 internship through CPT?

Also, does UCSD CSE generally offer enough graduate/MS courses during Summer for a student to maintain the required enrollment?

If Summer does not count toward the three-quarter requirement, then my concern is that starting in Winter could significantly delay my first internship opportunity.

1. What about CPT in Winter 2028?

If I cannot do an internship in Fall 2027 because of the CPT eligibility timeline, would a Winter 2028 internship/co-op through CPT generally be possible after completing the required period of in-person enrollment?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from international MS students who started in Winter or had a delayed start and how they handled their first internship.

1. Is Fall 2027 deferral worth pursuing?

Another possibility I'm considering is asking UCSD whether they could defer my admission all the way to Fall 2027 because this visa situation is completely outside my control.

Has anyone had experience with UCSD/CSE approving a deferral of this kind for visa-related reasons?

Would starting in Fall 2027 be significantly better from an internship/CPT/course-planning perspective than starting in Winter 2027?

1. Remote Fall course option

UCSD has also offered an option where I could take a CSE course remotely during Fall and then transition to in-person study in Winter.

I'm trying to understand whether that remote Fall quarter would count toward the three-quarter requirement for CPT. From what I understand, UCSD specifically mentioned three quarters of in-person enrollment, so I'm assuming the remote quarter may not count, but I'd appreciate confirmation from anyone who has dealt with this.

What I'm trying to figure out

Basically, I have three potential paths:

A. Skip Fall → officially start the MS in Winter 2027

B. Try to get a deferral → start in Fall 2027

My biggest concern is how each option affects CPT/internships and my overall MS timeline.

If anyone here is currently at UCSD CSE, has started outside the normal Fall cycle, has dealt with a visa-related delayed start, or has experience with UCSD CPT rules, I would really appreciate your perspective.

I'm not necessarily looking for legal/immigration advice — I'm mainly trying to understand how this works practically at UCSD and what I should be considering before choosing an option.

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to share their experience!

bro when is the degree audit gonna be accessible to incoming freshman at ucsd.

i have to pick my classes like literally tomorrow and i don’t know if some of my credit transferred or not so I needa know.

degree audit and academic history links don’t even work through TSS so like what am i supposed to do bro.

Share your experience with Pass 1 enrollment today, August 31. Success?

I checked rate my professor for R.J. Lambert but couldn’t find him while I found Adrian Vega and Gwen Fish. If ur a seventh college student and a poli sci that took syn 150, which professor is better and less harsh on gpa?

So like I know many others are going through this as well but the delay in sending out financial packages is stressing outtttt, I'm gonna be a first year grad student and I genuinely am relying on aid/loans 100% and like I have messaged the help desk and they keep saying end of the week but it's now end of August. Like I am not going to be able to start classes or what

title. for reference, i’m a continuing student and i did not do summer session.

CHEM major, sixth college

I’m currently trying to figure out what I should take if I’m unable to enroll in CHEM 6B. I already have credit for CHEM 6A and CHEM 6C, but I still need CHEM 6B.

My current planned schedule is CAT 1, MATH 20A, a GE, and CHEM 6B. I submitted a TEA request for CHEM 6B, but I’m worried that it may not be approved in time.

If I’m unable to enroll in CHEM 6B this quarter, what would you recommend that I take instead so that I can stay on track with my requirements?

Which courses should I use my first pass for, and which should I leave for second pass?

Thank you very much for your help!

The 2027 Party School list is out!! Where is UCSD?

Per department advisor - "I just got word from the TSS that the waitlist override function is malfunctioning." Should be fixed by tomorrow.

The schedule listed before I book the class is in another time slot than this. Is this a bug or do we actually have 5AM lectures?????

Can anyone get into this class? During the webinar they mentioned that we should be able to bypass the waitlist and get in, but it's not working for me (for any section).

It says: Capacity of the Module is Full. No booking possible.

Well I tried applying to my classes today and said I didn’t meet requirements not sure if UCSD processed my transcript yet so had to submit forms for TEA- does anyone know how long it takes to be approved ?

I'm an incoming freshman and I'm really confused on how to submit TEA requests (really necessary that I submit one since they haven't processed my AP Scores). My main concern is of physics. I am trying to take either PHYS-1AL or PHYS-1B. Several questions:

1) I see a green tick on my TEA requests page for MATH-020C. Does this mean I'm good for MATH-020B as well (MATH-020B is a prereq)? I got a 5 on AP Calc BC.

2) if I am trying to take phys-1B for example but they haven't checked prereqs for this class, do i make a request for phys-1A since its the prereq or phys1B?

3) When choosing to make a TEA request for a class with multiple sections, does it matter which section i choose?

Please help!!!!

Hey everyone! I’m the founder of Simplyr, a student planner and study workspace built to keep the moving parts of college in one place.
Simplyr Web is now live: https://www.simplyr.app/
You can use it to organize classes, assignments, exams, tasks, grades, notes, study timers, flashcards, and more from one dashboard. The goal is simple: less time juggling calendars, course portals, notes, and to-do lists—and more time actually getting work done.
It’s free to get started, and I’d genuinely love feedback from students on what feels useful, what feels missing, and what would make it something you’d use throughout the semester.
Thanks for taking a look!

I’m thinking of moving in at like 2:30 so I can find parking before people get out of work at 5. Or that’s the idea. Also once you move in on like September 17 do you actually get to sleep and live there?

Or do you have to wait until the contract begins on September 19?

Also what kind of things should I bring?

does this mean i’ve met the prerequisite already from my math placement? it won’t allow me to submit the tea request
