With a staff of 280 comprised of scientists, software developers, and operations, and user support staff, the center has served more than 10,000 researchers from 300 academic, government, and industrial institutions since its inception in 1985. Researchers around the country are using SDSC resources, including the eighth most powerful computer in the world, to study problems in various scientific applications areas and investigate new paradigms of computing. More specifically, SDSC
National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure
SDSC was founded in 1985 with a grant from the NSF Supercomputer Centers
program. In October 1997, SDSC began a five-year, $170 million grant from
NSF to serve as the foundation for the National Partnership for Advanced
Computational Infrastructure (NPACI) and formally became part of UCSD.
NPACI's mission is to create and deploy leading-edge computational
infrastructure to support research by the national scientific community.
To realize this mission, NPACI focuses effort in three key areas:
NPACI has deployed an IBM supercomputer capable of 1.7 trillion calculations
per second (1.7 teraflops). Called Blue Horizon, this system is the largest
computer available to academic researchers in the U.S. It helps researchers
tackle demanding problems such as determining chemical reaction rates,
designing new materials, simulating the human nervous system, modeling
water and pollutant transport, modeling climate and predicting storms,
and understanding the origins of the universe. NPACI also supports several
novel architectures, such as the Cray MTA and Sun Enterprise 10000, to
evaluate other routes to high performance. NPACI is extending this infrastructure
by developing "data-intensive computing" capabilities to enable
management, curation, analysis, and visualization of extremely large amounts
of data.
To build this infrastructure, NPACI teams the nation's experts
in computational and computer science at forty-eight partner institutions,
including seven international affiliates. Software development projects
are organized into technology and applications thrust areas. Current technology
thrusts are Metasystems, Program-ming Tools and Environments, Data-Intensive
Computing, and Interaction Environments. Applications thrusts are Molecular
Science, Neuroscience, Earth Systems Science, and Engineering. Each project
teams applications and technology developers, and involves representatives
from multiple partner sites. This infrastructure is being developed further
through partnerships with computer vendors and companies with high-performance
computing applications.
NPACI is also emphasizing software development in seven "alpha"
projects: COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES
SDSC computational resources include

202 University Center 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.
The full text of the Policy on Students with Disabilities and Steps
for Academic Accommod-ation has been posted to the Academic Senate Web
site (as an Appendix to the San Diego Division Regulations), at the following
address: http://www-senate.ucsd.edu/apxtoc.html.

Applying for Student Financial Assistance
A student is eligible for financial aid if she or he:
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 20012002). 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 20012002.
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. Graduate students may borrow up to $8,500
per academic year with an aggregate sum up to $65,000, including the amount
borrowed as an undergraduate. 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. Independent
undergraduates may borrow an additional $4,0005,000 annually; graduate
students may borrow an additional $10,000 annually. 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
Parents of dependent undergraduate students are eligible to borrow under
this program if they have no adverse credit history and meet program eligibility
requirements. The interest rate for this loan is variable, but not to
exceed 9 percent. In 2000-2001, the interest rate was 8.99 percent. Parents
are eligible to borrow up to the cost of education minus other financial
aid (including other loans). The first payment is due within sixty days
after disbursement by the lender.
Triton Registration Installment Plan (TRIP)
The UCSD Triton Registration Installment Plan (TRIP), administered by
the Student Account and University Billing Services (SAUBS) formally Bursar's
Office, is a monthly payment arrangement and is available for students
who desire an alternative method of financing their registration fees
on a short-term basis. 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. A prerequisite to applying for the program
is enrollment for the term. The TRIP allows registration fees to be paid
in up to three installments each quarter. On a three-month plan, the first
payment is required by the quarterly registration due date. The remaining
payments are itemized on the student's next two monthly UCSD Billing
Statements. There is a $30 nonrefundable quarterly fee that must be submitted
with the application to the Student Account and University Billing Services
(SAUBS) formally Bursar's Office. This fee is strictly used to offset
the costs of the program. For further information, please contact the
Billing Services Unit at (858) 534-6806, or online at: http://www-bfs.ucsd.edu/bur.
Short-Term Emergency Loans
The limited emergency loan funds, administered by Student Financial
Services, are loaned in small amounts to help students in critical short-term
emergencies, and usually must be repaid within thirty days. There currently
is a service charge of $20 per emergency loan, and students must be enrolled
in at least six units. Registration fees must be paid prior to applying.
Applications and further information are available from Student Financial
Services.

and scholarships you receive do not fully cover your fees. Both tax credits
are tied to the tuition and fees paid for college.

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.

Office by the specified due dates to be eligible for housing. On-campus

priority system is explained in detail in the housing brochure.
The housing application deadline for guaranteed housing for fall 20012002
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. For the best selection of housing closest to campus,

rent.

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

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.
Building B, Student Center Student Policies and Judicial Affairs (SP&JA) consists of the administration
of student judicial affairs, which includes campus-wide coordination of
student conduct, including graduate students, monitoring of compliance
requirements, with applicable federal and state laws, and university policies
and campus regulations, such as Right to Privacy as it affects students.
In addition, the director also provides legal advice and consultation
to faculty and administrators on student-related matters. Other programs
encompassed by SP&JA include the Student Legal Services Office, Student
Office for Human Relations (SOHR), (SAA/EEP) Student Affirmative Action/Education
Equity Program, and the Office of Religious Affairs.
Building B, Student Center Student Legal Services (SLS) provides advice to UCSD students in legal
matters. It prepares and drafts legal documents for students seeking to
represent themselves in court. These include Petitions for Dissolution,
Name Change, Immigra-tion Petitions, and Restraining Orders. Student Legal
Services also counsels and prepares students for in pro per court appearances,
i.e., Small Claims, Municipal, Traffic, and Misdemeanor Arraignment hearings.
As SLS cannot represent students, if such representation is deemed necessary
the student is referred to an outside attorney or agency specializing
in that particular area of the law. SLS conducts twenty legal education
workshops on a wide variety of topics each quarter. Additionally, SKS
advises Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, the Community Law Project, and
the Minority Law Foundation.
Main Gym, north side The Student Safety Awareness Program (SSAP) is the primary source of
information, crisis intervention, and follow-up support regarding sexual
assault, dating violence, and general personal safety on the UCSD campus.
The goals of the peer-to-peer education programs for men and women are
to dispel myths, to promote awareness of personal violence, and to prevent
the incidence of these crimes. The program also explains the victim's
options to notify law enforcement and to utilize other resources, i.e.,
campus and community counseling, and student services. SSAP outlines procedures
to follow if a sex offense occurs, if a victim reports to law enforcement
and/or uses the on-campus disciplinary process.
SSAP provides information and education about sexual harassment. Students
who have questions and/or concerns may seek confidential assistance by
calling the above number.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

supports the notion that the university must provide learning experiences
for students both within and outside the classroom. Participating in leadership
workshops, seminars, conferences, and in any of the over 300 student organizations

to choose from, there is bound to be one that sparks individual interest.

organizations begins in the fall and continues throughout the academic
year. The advisers are here to assist in selecting an organization or
