Registration Questions
Is there a cost to attend Family Weekend?
Yes, there is a $10 registration fee for guests ages 6 and older. Children 5 and under attend for free. Your registration includes tickets to Saturday evening's athletics game.
Does my student need to register?
Yes! You need to add your student as a guest to your registration, just like you would any other family member.
How can I see what I registered for?
You should have received a confirmation email from parents@ucsd.edu when you registered. That email includes a confirmation number and a link to modify your registration. Click on the modify registration link and enter your email and confirmation number when prompted. You'll be able to review and update your registration.
I didn't receive a confirmation email. Where can I find my confirmation number?
If you didn't receive a confirmation email, please check your spam or junk filter. If, after that, you still don't have a confirmation email, that means you haven't yet registered (or didn't finish registering) for Family Weekend. You can complete your registration online.
Can I transfer my registration to someone else?
Sure! If someone else in your family or party will be taking your place (or someone else's), please reach out to us at parents@ucsd.edu and we'll be happy to update your party's registration accordingly. Please note, however, that we will only be able to make these changes through close of business (4:30 p.m. PT) on Wednesday, October 14.
What if I need to change or cancel my registration?
No problem. Once you register, you'll get a confirmation email from parents@ucsd.edu. If you need to modify or cancel your registration for any reason, you'll find links in that confirmation email that will allow you to do so. However, Family Weekend registration is non-refundable.

Do you have any hotel recommendations?
We do! UC San Diego has partnered with Bartell Hotels to offer families, students, alumni and friends reduced hotel rates at some of the finest properties in San Diego.

Attending Events and Sessions
Do I have to be registered for a session to attend it?
We ask guests to register for sessions they would like to attend to help our team plan accordingly. You can even update your registration, if you change your mind later on!
However, all Family Weekend events are first-come, first-served; registration does not guarantee a spot. This means you're welcome to attend any session during the weekend, space permitting, whether you registered for it or not.
How do I get tickets for Family Weekend athletic events?
Your Family Weekend registration includes a free ticket to one of our athletics games, while supplies last. Like all Family Weekend events, our Triton Athletics events are first-come, first served.
If you would like to attend an athletics event, tickets to the game of your choice will be provided to parents, friends and family members at check-in. Students who would like to attend an athletics event reserve their ticket through a different process at no additional cost:
Student Tickets to the Men’s Basketball Game:
Starting on Monday, Oct. 12 at 10 a.m. students can claim their tickets to the Men’s Basketball game (while supplies last) online by signing into the Triton Athletics ticketing site using their university credentials. Check out step-by-step instructions from Athletics.
Student Tickets to the Men’s Soccer Match:
Students do not need to reserve a ticket in advance; their student ID serves as their ticket. Student IDs will be scanned at the entrance to the field.
Please note: student tickets are limited for both athletics events. The earlier your student can reserve their ticket or arrive at the field, the better!
Do I need to wear my name badge to be able to attend Family Weekend events?
Yes! Your name badge is how we know you're a registered Family Weekend participant – it grants you access to all our sessions and programs, so keep it on all weekend!
Will Family Weekend sessions be recorded?
We aren't able to record our Family Weekend sessions, but you can always reach out to the office or department hosting a session if you'd like more info on any topic. Also, our Triton Family Web Series will be kicking off in late fall, and we'll cover lots of great and useful topics there!
Can I bring my dog to Family Weekend?
Any pet on campus must be on a leash at all times. Pets (excluding service animal wearing thier certified vests) are not allowed in university buildings, classrooms, LionTree Arena, RIMAC Field or any dining spaces.
Family Weekend is made possible in part through the generous support of University Credit Union, UC San Diego’s official financial institution partner. In addition to day-to-day banking services, UCU offers Tritons and their families access to financial education, one-on-one guidance and a full-service Banking Hub conveniently located in Price Center East.
