http://orpheus-I.ucsd.edu/osd/

The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) mission is to facilitate students independence, academic, and social success, and strong self-advocacy through access to campus programs, services, and facilities. OSD promotes effective planning, adaptation, and enhanced awareness of students' individual abilities. OSD serves as a liaison to UCSD academic departments, the campus community, and off-campus disability-related agencies. Coordination may include disability management counseling, note takers, sign language interpreters, real-time captionists, readers, typists, library/laboratory assistants, special equipment loans/minor repair, priority registration/enrollment assistance, on-campus housing coordination, exam accommodations, on-campus transportation/parking coordination, and referrals. College learning skills seminars (including memory strategies, note-taking, test taking, time management, and study skills) are offered on an individual and small group basis in collaboration with OASIS. In addition, OSD provides disability awareness through maintenance of a resource library of books, periodicals, articles, films, and video formats, and provides on-campus disability awareness workshops.

Students who have been diagnosed as having a disability should consult promptly with a qualified specialist at the Office of Students with Disabilities (OSD), as only students registered with OSD will receive accommodation in classes. In order to implement an OSD-approved accommodation for examinations or assignments, students must meet with the course instructor within the first two weeks of instruction and present a certificate from OSD recommending the appropriate accommodations.

If the student's disability has been certified by OSD, the course instructor should accommodate the student's needs. Faculty are not responsible for determining what accommodations are appropriate for a particular student. If an instructor is presented with a claim of a disability by a student who has not been certified by OSD, the course instructor should refer the student to OSD and not become personally involved in diagnosing or evaluating the seriousness of the disability. OSD is available to assist instructors in providing accommodation. If for any reason an instructor cannot meet the request, the department chair and OSD should be promptly consulted.

No student should leave the university for financial reasons before exploring all possible avenues of assistance with a Financial Aid Office counselor. All information contained herein is intended to serve as a general guide and is subject to change due to new and revised federal, state, and University of California regulations and procedures.

Applying for Student Financial Assistance

A student is eligible for financial aid if she or he:

1. Is a United States citizen or eligible noncitizen.
2. Has a valid social security number.
3. Is not in default on a federal student loan or has made satisfactory arrangements to repay it.
4. Does not owe money back on a federal student grant or has made satisfactory arrangements to repay it.
5. Is registered with Selective Service (males at least eighteen years old, unless not required).
6. Is enrolled at UCSD (minimum of six units per quarter) in a degree or certificate program. Limited status students (non-degree/non-certificate) enrolled in a course of study necessary to be accepted in a degree or certificate program are only eligible for one year of Federal Stafford Loan(s). After one year, these limited status students are not eligible for any financial aid funding.
7. Is making satisfactory academic progress for financial aid recipients.

Receiving Financial Assistance

UC financial aid for students with demonstrated financial need is funded by a combination, or "package", of gift and self-help aid. Grants and scholarships are awards that do not have to be repaid. Self-help aid may consist of a loan, which does have to be repaid, or a work-study award, earned by working a part-time job while attending school, or a combination of both. UCSD ensures that students in similar circumstances receive similar packages. Grant funds are directed to the most needy students. Students who are nonresidents of California should note that need-based financial aid funds are not sufficient to meet the additional cost of nonresident tuition ($10,244 during 2001–2002). The family should be prepared to provide this amount from their own personal resources or educational loan programs. The various types of aid and programs which may be included in need-based packages are listed below:

Federal Pell Grant

The Federal Pell Grant program is designed to provide financial assistance to undergraduates attending postsecondary educational institutions. Amounts range from $400–$3,300 for 2001–2002.

University of California Grant Program

The University of California Grant Program provides grants to undergraduate and graduate students.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

SEOG awards are federally funded and are available only to undergraduates. Awards may range from $100 to $4,000 per academic year.

Cal Grants (Undergraduate)

Cal Grants are awarded by the California Student Aid Commission to undergraduate California residents. All resident applicants for UCSD aid are required to apply for a Cal Grant. To be considered as a new winner, the FAFSA or renewal FAFSA and the GPA Verification Form must be postmarked prior to March 2, 2001. Current recipients must file a FAFSA or a renewal FAFSA each year to have their award renewed.

Repayable Scholarships/Fellowships for Teaching Credential Students

The Cal Grant T is awarded by the California Student Aid Commission to students who have been accepted into the Teaching Credential Program. Pre-TEP students are not eligible. The Gorornois Teaching Fellowships (GTF) Program is adminitered by the California State University system. Those wishing to apply need to contact the UCSD Teacher Education Program at (858) 534-1680.

Work-Study

Federal and state work-study awards are employment programs that provide funds for student employment by the university or by public and private profit/nonprofit organizations. The work-study program provides experience in many fields, including experimental sciences, library work, recreation, computer sciences, peer counseling, and office work. Pay ranges from minimum wage and above. Job listings and referrals are provided through the Career Services Center.

Federal Perkins Loans

This loan carries a 5 percent interest rate. Students begin paying both the principal and the interest nine months after ceasing to be enrolled at least half-time.

Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans

The annual maximum allowed during the first year of undergraduate study is $2,625. Sopho-mores can borrow an annual maximum of $3,500, and the yearly limit for juniors and seniors is $5,500, with an undergraduate cumulative maximum of $23,000.

The interest rate for new borrowers is variable, not to exceed 8.19 percent. The 2000-2001 rate was 6.92 percent.

The federal government pays (subsidizes) the interest on the student's behalf during in-school (enrolled in six units or more), grace, and authorized deferment periods. Repayment of principal and interest begins six months after the borrower leaves school or ceases to be enrolled as a half-time student.

Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans

Students who do not have financial need eligibility for the maximum Federal Stafford Loan may borrow under this program. The annual maximum and interest rate are the same as the Subsidized Stafford Loan.

The maximums include amounts borrowed under the Federal Stafford Loan program. Aggregate maximums are $23,000 for dependent undergraduates, $46,000 for independent undergraduates, and $138,500 for graduate students. The interest is not paid on the student's behalf. Interest begins accruing immediately after disbursement, but payment of principal and interest may be deferred until six months after ceasing to be enrolled for six units or more. The amount borrowed cannot exceed the cost of education minus other financial aid resources (including other need-based loans).

Federal PLUS Loans for Parents

All students in good financial and academic standing are eligible for the program, except for those students whose financial aid or graduate support will pay their registration fees by the quarterly registration fee due date.

THE UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The purpose of the Undergraduate Scholarship Program at UCSD is to recognize outstanding achievement, to encourage academic excellence, and to offer support to meritorious students.

Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis by the UCSD faculty Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships and Honors. Merit scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence. Restricted scholarships are awarded based on one or more additional cri-teria or restrictions such as financial need, study in a particular major, or leadership. Students who are awarded scholarships restricted by financial need must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to receive the award. Additionally, undergraduate research scholarships are offered to current students which enable them to pursue special studies and projects under faculty supervision.

UCSD is actively engaged in developing new scholarship opportunities. Many of these awards were established through the generous support of individual sponsors, foundations, businesses, and community organizations. Every gift toward undergraduate scholarships is appreciated and appropriately recognized. Further information about supporting scholarships at UCSD may be obtained from Brian Daly, Director of Develop-ment, Student Affairs. He may be reached at (858) 822-1536.

SINGLE UNDERGRADUATE HOUSING

Residence halls and apartments are located at Revelle, John Muir, Thurgood Marshall, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Earl Warren Colleges

Residence Halls

Residence hall rooms are arranged in suites of eight to ten students who share a bathroom and study/living area. Suites are single gender and some buildings are coed. A meal plan is mandatory in the residence halls. Most freshmen live in residence halls; single rooms are often reserved by returning students. Rooms are furnished and provide ample space for effective studying, sleeping, and storing of personal belongings, books, and clothes.

Apartments

Campus apartments are self-contained units with kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and study/living areas. Each unit is fully furnished with carpets, drapes, beds, desks, chest of drawers, tables, couch, dining set, stove, and refrigerator. Typically a bedroom is shared by two students; single rooms are available in some apartments. Meal plans are optional.

Rates for 2001/2002

The estimated budget figure for room and board in the residence halls is $7,800 for the three-quarter academic year (excluding quarter breaks); apartments without the board plan will be about $4,500 for the academic year. Payment plans are available and will be listed in the housing contract.

A housing brochure with an application for on-campus housing was included in the admission packet mailed in mid-March to all who were admitted to UCSD. Students must return the housing application to the Housing Administra-tion Office and file a Statement of Intent to Register form with the Admissions Office by the specified due dates to be eligible for housing. On-campus housing spaces will be filled on a first-come, first serve basis according to the date applications are received in the UCSD Housing Office. The priority system is explained in detail in the housing brochure.

The housing application deadline for guaranteed housing for fall 2001–2002 was May 8, 2001, for new freshmen. Transfer students will almost certainly not receive on-campus housing for the academic year 2001-2002 due to high demand and overflow.

Off-Campus Housing

Off-Campus Housing is a rental referral and housing information resource center. This office receives and maintains up-to-date available rentals from people in the community within the various areas near campus. The rentals include individual houses, apartments, and condos, as well as roommates, rooms in private homes, and work-exchange situations.

The most popular housing situation involves sharing a house, condo, or apartment with other UCSD students.

The university is located in the midst of a resort area that results in relatively high rent in the coastal towns of San Diego: Del Mar and Solana Beach to the north of campus, La Jolla, and Pacific Beach to the south. A general rule of thumb: the closer to the beach, the higher the rent.

Also available through this office are helpful landlord/tenant materials such as: leases, room rental agreements, bus schedules, wall maps, a courtesy phone for local calling and a variety of house hunting aids.

Our Web site is useful for students and others unable to come into the office, yet need to review rental listings. Downloadable rental agreement forms are available. Links to local papers allow access to the classifieds. In addition, answers to frequently asked questions ease anxiety regarding housing.

Services are available to registered students, staff, faculty, and alumni of the University of California only. You must show a current UC ID card or official Letter of Acceptance to receive rental contacts. Rental referrals are not mailed, faxed, or given out over the telephone. The office staff will be happy to assist you with any housing questions or concerns. Our office is located in the Student Center, Building A, Eucalyptus Lounge, Suite 200–202.

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS AT UCSD

http://athletics.ucsd.edu

With 23 intercollegiate teams to choose from the UC San Diego Athletics program provides students with varying interests the opportunity to participate in a highly-competitive program. As a non-scholarship institution, UCSD's Tritons have competed in the NCAA Division III, achieving national prominence in nearly every sport. In 1998, UCSD won the Sears Directors' Cup, which is awarded to the nation's top overall athletics program in the NCAA Division III. In the fall of 2000, UCSD moved to Division II and immediately captured an NCAA Championship in Women's Soccer while finishing runner-up in the NCAA Water Polo Championship.

Triton teams have captured 94 first-, second-, and third-place national finishes, led by Women's Volleyball's seven titles. Women's Soccer has won six championships, followed by Women's Water Polo with five, Women's Tennis with four, Men's Soccer with three and Men's Golf with one national championship. Individually, 90 Tritons have won national championships while a remarkable 721 have earned All-American Recognition. Tritons have been named Academic All-Americans on 122 occasions and 10 student/athletes have been awarded the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.

Sports offered for men and women include basketball, crew, cross country, fencing, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and water polo. Men's baseball, men's golf, and women's softball are also offered.

With the move to Division II, most teams now compete in the California Collegiate Athletic Association, widely considered to be the top Division II athletic conference in the country.

In addition to athletic competition, UCSD students may get involved through support groups, game management, and internships. The UCSD Pep Band has grown steadily in recent years and is a fixture of spirit at all basketball and volleyball events. In 1999, the Triton Tide made its debut as a student booster club, and students may also join the UCSD Cheerleaders, the UCSD Twirl Flag Team, or the UCSD Dance Team. In addition to the student groups, Triton Athletic Associates, a booster group of parents, alumni, and friends assists UCSD Athletics with much-needed financial support.

Comprehensive primary health care, urgent care, laboratory, x-ray, as well as health education programs are provided free of charge to all registration paying students during the academic quarters. A health fee is charged during the summer quarter to continuing students.

Specialized care is provided through the Women's Clinic, Sports Medicine Clinic, Dermato-logy Clinic, Nurses' Clinic, Headache Clinic, and Travel Clinic, most at no additional fee.

Reduced fees are charged for pharmaceuticals, contraceptives, travel immunizations, and some laboratory tests. A Visual Care Clinic is available at modest fees. The Visual Care Clinic offers eye glasses, designer frames, lenses, sunglasses, contacts, and eye exams.

Although undergraduate, graduate, medical, and international students may have unlimited visits with Student Health Service (SHS), students requiring medical or surgical care from practitioners, hospitals, or clinics other than SHS should be prepared to assume the cost of such care. All students are strongly urged to have and maintain adequate health insurance. (See below)

Starting fall term 2001 the University of California Board of Regents has established a requirement that all undergraduate students have mandatory major medical health insurance as a non-academic condition of enrollment. The Undergraduate Student Health Insurance Plan (USHIP) provides benefits for ambulance, emergency room, hospitalization, certain outpatient services, surgery and major medical expenses with SHS referral. USHIP also includes benefits for pharmaceuticals, vision care and intramural, club and intercollegiate sports. The cost for USHIP will be factored into grants, loans, and work-study programs offered to students who receive financial assistance. Students already covered by adequate health insurance can waive the requirement. The new campus-based insurance plans will not replace the primary medical care and referral services provided by the Student Health Service.

Participation in the Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan (GSHIP) is mandatory for all graduate, professional, and international students. GSHIP provides benefits for certain outpatient services, hospitalization, surgery, and major medical expenses by referral. GSHIP also contains a dental and vision care plan and pharmaceutical benefits. The fee for GSHIP is paid by the university for graduate and professional students holding academic appointments of 25 percent time or more.

Brochures describing these insurance plans, their limitations, exclusions, and open enrollment periods are available at Student Health Service and through the SHHS Web page. A representative of the insurance company has an office at Student Health Service and is available to assist students.
