APRIL 2026

Join us in congratulating Kirt Mitchell as an SIS Trailblazer!

As the Senior Director for Campus Accounting, Kirt Mitchell is recognized for his expertise in reworking the accounting approach for TSS on the SIS Project. Here is what his colleagues had to say:

"Kirt's accounting knowledge is helping to create a more streamlined and cleaner approach that will improve reconciliations."

– Gayle Ta, Senior Director, Student Financial Solutions

You can read Kirt’s full story on the SIS Trailblazers webpage linked below:

New guidance has been shared to help faculty and staff support students ahead of the TSS launch. This includes key changes such as the shift of Fall 2026 enrollment (booking) to mid-July, new terminology, and what students will experience during the transition. Faculty are encouraged to share a short student info slide in classes and course materials. Access resources below: 

As UC San Diego prepares to implement TSS, an application status list has been created to help students understand where applications they regularly use will be located after TSS goes live.

Many applications (and their associated functions) will be performed in TSS, some are linked from TSS and some will be retired completely.

We encourage students, and staff who support students, to review and bookmark this resource. 

We continue to host weekly office hours to support you ahead of the TSS launch. These drop-in, informal sessions are an opportunity to ask questions, share feedback, raise concerns and help inform and strengthen our training approach. We look forward to seeing you there!

Office Hours Schedule:

Mondays: 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Wednesdays: 9:00 – 10:00 a.m.

(New!) Thursdays: 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.

You can access the Zoom link on the TSS Project website (we recommend bookmarking the site for easy reference).

If you are unable to attend and have questions, please contact esr-student@ucsd.edu.

Stay up to date with the latest Triton Student System (TSS) training resources. Visit the centralized TSS Training webpage on Blink to access current ISA training and explore upcoming topics for Main Campus and DES.

Review your existing training, support and reference materials then submit them to the TSS Content Inventory. Let us know what will need to be updated, replaced, or retired and share your training needs with us. Your input ensures faculty, staff and students have accurate, up-to-date resources across UC San Diego at launch. Content Inventory additions are due by the end of May, so please take a moment to add to it!

As we continue preparing TSS for go-live, we have been holding demonstrations to present on key functionalities of TSS as they become available to demo.

Our next demonstration will cover the Triton Enrollment Authorization (TEA), which is the tool that will replace the Enrollment Authorization System (EASy). It will be held on May 6th from 3:00 - 4:00 P.M. over Zoom and will be recorded. Click the link below to register for the demo and receive the webinar link.

What do you love about your work? Transformational change can be a daunting experience. I love the opportunity to create and provide resources that help alleviate anxiety, and to reassure folks that they'll be okay as they go through the challenge of change.
