  • Advancement: Support for engagement, stewardship, and philanthropy
  • Budget & Finance: Budget, finance, logistics, payment, procurement, and travel 
  • Information Technology: Technical, communications, and network support for business systems and campus infrastructure
  • Payroll, Academic Personnel, & HR (PATH): Payroll, academic personnel, timekeeping, and benefits
  • Research: General research administration, Kuali COI, and Kuali research
  • Student Support: Student account management, student campus card, student finance support
How it works
  • Access the main portal at https://support.ucsd.edu/
  • Use the search box to search across all portals. Note: Entering a search term and not pressing enter will bring up a mega search menu where you can select specific items.
