Enrollment for all visiting students (non-UCSD students) begins April 20, 2009. 
The Visiting Student Application will be available April 20.

All visiting students must complete a four-step process to enroll in courses. Students are responsible for understanding all of the information on the 2009 Summer Session website including drop deadlines and refund policies. Visit TritonLink for more important details.

  1. Obtain a UserID and Password. To be able to access the system. If you already have a UserID and Password (also known as PID and PAC) then skip directly to #2 below.

    When you create your UserID and Password, you will be sent an email with your UserID and will be asked to create a password.

    DO NOT LOSE THIS PASSWORD. You will need it to make changes to classes, order transcripts and pay your bill on-line. If you lose your password, you can reset it here.
  2. Apply via the Summer Session online application. The application will automatically prompt when you enter your UserID and Password (PID and PAC).
  3. If the classes that you choose either have prerequisites or are upper division, you will need to contact the department offering the course in order to obtain "preauthorization" to enroll in the course.  The following chart has the contact information and special instructions for the departments.
  4. Enroll in courses via WebReg. You will not see charges for your courses appear on any statement until May 27
  5. Pay for enrolled course. You will not be able to pay for Session I or Special Session courses until May 27. You will not be able to pay for Session II courses until July 7. If you do not pay for your courses by the fee deadlines, you will be dropped from your courses. If you identify yourself as a financial aid student*, you will not be dropped for nonpayment but if you forget to drop unwanted courses, you may receive a grade of "F" for non-attendance and billed for the courses.

First Week Course Changes

During the first week of classes (June 29 - July 6 or August 3 - August 7) students may simultaneously drop and add one course without late fees using WebReg or by submitting an Add/Drop card to the Registrar's Office.

If the course being added has additional fees, such as a material fee or a higher course fee, the additional fees must be paid when adding the course.

Beginning July 7 for Session I and August 8 for Session II, the late enrollment period ends.  Students wishing to enroll after this time must fill out a petition and have it signed by the professor, the department offering the course, their college and the CEP.  Please review the CEP policy prior to completing a petition.  Visiting students should contact the Summer Session office for more information on the petition process.
