Parent & Family Programs UC San Diego
Welcome to an exciting and transformative time in your student’s educational journey; and therefore, an exciting time for you as well. Parent & Family Programs at UC San Diego provides opportunities to family members to journey through UC San Diego alongside their student. While your student is on campus, families remain an important ally to the university as we seek to help your student find success academically, socially and personally. We are a team of committed staff with a mission to provide resources, services, and programs that keep families connected and informed about the university.
Coronavirus Information for the UC San Diego Community
The goal of the ongoing initiative is to continue in-person teaching, research and service in the safest way possible. Positive case rates on campus have remained consistently low compared to regional and national case rates. As a result, UC San Diego was able to resume full on-campus operations in fall 2021 and has served as a best practice model for other institutions.

EXPLORing AND STUDYing ABROAD
Study Abroad fits into any academic major, fosters personal development, and cultural sensitivity. Equally important, it shows a cultural experience valued by many employers, and is often a life-changing experience for many students. Learn ways your students can continue to learn and explore the world through UC San Diego. Check out this recording from our Virtual Homecoming + Family Weekend Session on our YouTube Channel.
When Parents Are Informed, Students Benefit
Whether you are a family member living locally or abroad and whether your student is in their first or last quarter at UC San Diego, our office helps you navigate campus resources to support your student.
Triton Parent & Family Ambassador
Parents and families play an important role in their student’s educational journey. One student’s experience at UC San Diego will differ from other students, which means the ways in which that student is supported will differ from how other students are supported by their family. Triton Parent & Family Ambassadors share how they support their student’s college experience with other family members and the UC San Diego community. No matter your hometown or country, or family make-up, every family member possesses life skills and knowledge that support their student’s college experience. Request to be a Triton Parent & Family Ambassador today!
