| Triton Student System (TSS) Update & Request: How to Support Students and their Interaction with TSS |
|
|
Dear Colleagues,
As we prepare for the transition to the Triton Student System (TSS) in Summer 2026, we are sharing a summary of what students will experience and how you can support them. Please read thoroughly, as there are changes to standard timelines this year.
Please note that the Division of Extended Studies (DES) has a separate timeline from the main campus, that’s also outlined below.
|
|
|
- New terminology/labeling:
- Enrollment → Booking
- PID → Triton Student Number (TSN)
- Students will see and use their TSN in TSS, some students may see their TSN earlier in some finance and annulment systems
- Faculty and staff will be able to search for students by PID or TSN in TSS
-
MyTritonLink → Triton Student System (TSS)
-
Major codes will shift to a new TSS format as will courses. Courses will now include a hyphen between the subject code and course number, and leading zeroes. e.g., ECON 5 → ECON-005; VIS 21A → VIS-021A; BENG 280C → BENG-280C
- Some processes may look different as systems are introduced in phases
|
Main Campus - Incoming Students (Fall 2026) |
April 2026
| July 2026
| August 2026 |
|---|
→ UC San Diego Active Directory account created after incoming students accept an offer of admission. Upon account creation, students will receive:
• UC San Diego username and email
• Triton Student Number (TSN)
→ Students who attempt to log into TSS early will see an error message
→ Enrollment checklist visible to incoming students
→ Housing applications and visa processes begin mid-to-late April; Undergraduate Housing | Graduate & Family Housing.
→ Incoming Students are required to log-into their Financial Aid student portal to submit required documentation before June 15, 2026
| → Schedule of Classes made available to students
→ Students access TSS using their UC San Diego account (Active Directory) in mid-July 2026
| → Enrollment, now called booking, available to incoming main campus students / transfer students to book Fall 2026 classes
→ Email notification sent notifying students of their booking window
|
|
Main Campus - Continuing Students |
April 2026
| July 2026 |
|---|
→ Students will see and use their TSN in TSS, some students may see their TSN earlier in some finance and annulment systems
→ Enroll in Summer Session courses via WebReg
• Session 1, Special Session and Session 2 - starting April 13, 2026
→ Continuing student housing timelines are already in progress and follow separate schedules
→ Continuing students' deadline to submit financial aid documentation for the 2026-2027 academic year is May 1, 2026 and is now open
|
→ Students access TSS using their existing UC San Diego account (Active Directory) in mid-July 2026. Until July, continue to use current systems as usual
→ Students will begin using their Triton Student Number (TSN) within TSS
→ Enrollment, now called booking, available for continuing students to book Fall 2026 classes; booking opens mid-July 2026 (shift from typical timeline)
→ Will receive email notification with information about their booking window
→ Schedule of Classes made available to students
→ Will be asked to review/update personal information in TSS upon initial login, including:
• Mailing address
• Lived/chosen name
• Direct deposit information
• Emergency contact information
|
|
Additional considerations for continuing students:
|
- Continuing students will have both a PID and TSN, but only the TSN will be visible to students in the Triton Student System.
- No changes to Campus ID Cards. ID cards printed with the legacy PID will remain valid and do not need to be replaced.

Division of Extended Studies (DES) Students |
July 2026
| August 2026 |
|---|
→ Students can begin accessing their UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies account in July and will receive their new TSN

→ Enrollment, now called booking, available for DES students to book Fall 2026 classes
→ Will receive email notification with information when course registration/booking is open
|
|
Additional considerations for continuing students:
|
-
DES students may follow slightly different timelines depending on program requirements
