Living in Revelle Questions

I have questions about moving in

Moving onto campus comes with a lot of questions. Check our Move In Information page or HDH's Housing Information page for detailed information about moving in.

Is there co-ed housing at Revelle

Students can opt into Gender Inclusive Housing when they apply for housing. Gender inclusive housing is designed for residents of all genders to live in community together. More information can be found on the HDH Room Selection webpage, under the Housing Communities tab.

Students who do not opt in, will live in suites or apartments with others of the same gender. Each suite or apartment has its own bathroom that is shared only with those suite members. Buildings and floors are not designated by gender, meaning co-ed floors and buildings.

I lost my key or its broken

If your key broke: Bring all the pieces of the broken key to the Revelle Residence Life Office and we will issue you a new key at no charge.

If you have lost your key: Come to the Revelle Residence Life Office to get a replacement. A $65 lost key fee will be charged to your student account.

What do I do if someone I don't know or a solicitor comes to my door?

"Door to Door" solicitation is strictly prohibited on campus. Feel free to say you are not interested and they should not be selling door to door. If you see anyone going door to door selling magazines, candy, food cosmetics, etc. or anyone suspicious, please call the RA on Duty (858-534-4545), the Residence Life Office (858-534-3025), or a USO (858-534-HELP) to have them contact the person(s).

How do I terminate my housing contract

If you are experiencing a conflict amongst the people you live with try to seek help through your RA.. RA's are trained in conflict mediation to assist in resolving any concecrns that may arise.

If you would still like to terminate your housing contract please review the information on the Housing Contract Termination website. Contract terminations are not guaranteed. Please be well informed before finalizing this decision.

Here are a few UCSD resources that will help you find housing nearby. Commuter Student Services has great resources for students looking to move off campus.

Dining Plan Questions

I have questions about my Dining Plan

Included in the cost of your Housing contract is a Dining Plan. For more information about dining meal plans, locations, and options please visit the Dining Website.

If you run out of Dining Dollar, you can always add dining dollars to your plan by going to the dining website. You can also pay cash anywhere on campus and depending on your housing, you can cook in your room or building, use your Triton Cash account at many locations, or you can dine out.

What is Triton Cash

The Triton Cash program extends beyond Housing and Dining facilities (while the meal plan program is limited to Housing and Dining operations). However, both campus programs are run using your UC San Diego ID card, so no additional cards are needed. This is a declining balance account on your UC San Diego ID card, similar to Dining Dollars, that you may CHOOSE to utilize. More information can be found on the Triton Cash website.

How do I mobile order

The Triton2Go mobile ordering app is a convenient way to order food ahead. More information can be found on the Triton2Go website.

How do I use the just walk out system at the markets

Shopping at on campus markets has been made easier through the just walk out systems! Conveniently linked to your account in the Triton2Go App. More information can be found on the Just Walk Out by Amazon website.

UC San Diego Resources Questions

Should I bring a computer to campus

Having your own computer would be more convenient; however, on-campus computer labs are available throughout campus and one of the largest labs is CLICS which is located in Galbraith Hall in Revelle College. The Revelle College Center has a few computers and printing available for use during our hours of operation. Please check with your Resident Assistant for information about where computer labs are located.

If you decided to bring a computer we strongly advise you protect all your electronic equipment with surge protectors. Also be sure to check with your parent or guardian's home owner's policy for theft and fire coverage. If you need personal property insurance, please contact College Student Insurance Agency Inc. at http://www.collegestudentinsurance.com/html/studentorder.html or National Student Services Incorporated at https://www.nssi.com/ . CSI and NSSI specialize in student personal property insurance.

Should I bring a car to UC San Diego?

If you choose to bring a car please be aware that there is limited student parking in the Theatre District Parking Stucture, the closest parking to Revelle. If you are interested in alternate modes of transportation you can get a free bus sticker at the UC San Diego parking office. The free bus zone was recently expanded. You can now get free rides from UC San Diego to UTC, Downtown San Diego, Downtown La Jolla, Mission Valley, Mira Mesa, to the nearest Amtrak station in Solana Beach, and other areas in. For more detailed information please visit the Parking and Transportation website at http://parking.ucsd.edu.

Where do I pick up my student ID?

If you did not get your UC San Diego ID at Orientation or in your move in packet, please go to the Campus Card Office located on the 1st floor of the Student Services Center (Hours: Mon-Fri, 8am-4:30pm).

Additionally, replacement student ID cards can be purchased at the Campus Card Office at an additional fee.

Should I check my UC San Diego e-mail?

Yes. Academic Advising and other campus offices (including the Residence Life Office) use the official UC San Diego e-mail to contact students with important information. We recommend that you forward your UC San Diego e-mail to another account that you are already accustomed to checking regularly. For details on e-mail forwarding, go to the Academic Computing and Media Services website at http://acms.ucsd.edu/.
