Triton Reservation and
Event System (T-RES)
Event Planning at UC San Diego
UC San Diego hosts an exciting array of special events, student activities, concerts, meetings, workshops and more each year. Triton Reservation and Event System (T-RES) has what you need to make every event successful. Explore spaces, locations and venues, make a reservation and review event planning tools, policies and resources to plan a great event. And remember to promote your event through the new UC San Diego Events Calendar.
Important T-RES Updates
For reservations made on or after June 24, 2026, all appropriate permits and planning modules must be completed directly through T-RES. Please note that Food Permits and Performance Agreements transitioned to T-RES earlier for reservations made on or after April 29, 2026.
For reservations made on or before June 23, 2026, please continue using the current processes for all appropriate permits and planning requirements listed above.
For reservations made outside of T-RES, select the “Permits for Existing Reservations Outside of T-RES” option when submitting your event for an application or complying with MEP.
About
T-RES is UC San Diego’s new centralized platform that streamlines finding and reserving space, event planning workflows, and ensures policy compliance when managing events and meetings on university property.
T-RES currently supports reservations for more than 200 campus locations, including meeting rooms, outdoor spaces, and premier venues like the Epstein Family Amphitheater, Great Hall, LionTree Arena, Mandeville Auditorium, and the Price Center Ballrooms. Additional venues will be added to T-RES as the system expands.
Major Events Policy
Reserving space through T-RES automatically satisfies the Major Events Policy.
If your reservation is made outside of T-RES and your event:
- has more than 100 attendees, and/or
- includes alcohol
You must register your event through T-RES. This process replaces the Event Intake Form.
