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
We are taking steps to ensure the health and safety of our community when in-person activities resume in after Winter Break. These steps include pre-Winter Quarter COVID-19 testing requirements for students, continuing to follow statewide masking guidance, and encouraging everyone to receive a booster vaccine.

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!
