TSS is not yet live. For more information about the TSS project, updates and resources, please visit the Triton Student System (TSS) page on the ESR website.
Overview
TSS is UC San Diego's new student information system, replacing the legacy system (ISIS) and bringing together Main Campus and Division of Extended Studies onto the same system.
TSS impacts nearly every part of the student lifecycle, including scheduling courses, grading, billing, financial aid, and more.
Coming Soon!
Additional training are on the way for both Main Campus, Health Sciences, and DES, including topics such as:
- Academic Planning
- Billing
- Booking
- Scheduling
- And more!
As new materials are developed, they will be added to the site to keep the campus community informed and prepared.
