A new student portal called the Triton Student System will replace My TritonLink at the end of this academic year. The TSS will incorporate all My TritonLink student and faculty resources and issue new student personal identification numbers.
TSS will only replace My TritonLink, the system in the TritonLink website that requires a UC San Diego SSO sign-in to access. TritonLink’s read-only resources — available at students.ucsd.edu — will remain the main informational site for students.
TSS’s official launch is set for mid-July. Instead of using My TritonLink, incoming and continuing students will now access online tools such as enrollment, billings and payments, and academic records through TSS. Other My TritonLink tools moving to TSS include:
- Enrollment Authorization System
- Graduate education and postdoctoral affairs forms
- Housing portal
- iServices portal
- Major/Minor Tool
- Personal identification number
- Undergraduate and graduate degree and diploma applications
- WebReg
- The www.courses.ucsd.edu page
Enrollment processes will occur through TSS when it launches. To ease the transition, enrollment in Fall 2026 classes will be pushed from May to mid-July for continuing students.
“Students will continue to enroll in classes online, but the experience and terminology will look somewhat different in TSS,” Christine Alvarado, interim associate vice chancellor of Educational Innovation, said to The UCSD Guardian. “One notable change is that the system uses the term ‘booking’ instead of ‘enrollment,’ which reflects standard terminology within the underlying platform.”
Incoming first-year and transfer students can still expect to enroll in August. All students will receive information about their Fall booking window through email.
TSS will also replace student personal identification numbers with Triton Student Numbers for both continuing and incoming students. UCSD will allow continuing students to keep their original printed IDs and assign them TSNs digitally. Incoming students will receive their TSNs printed on their IDs.
Staff members have had access to the new system since December 2025 and are preparing for the summer transition. Student Information System Project staff are working on migrating student information to TSS. They are also currently implementing training for staff in departments affected by the migration — including billing — and developing guides to using TSS’ new tools and applications.
The University’s Enterprise Systems Renewal program initiated the TSS Project in August 2019 to unite the information systems of the different UCSD campuses on one platform.
“TSS is designed to provide a more connected student experience across academic, administrative, and student-facing services while improving reliability, security, reporting capabilities, and future flexibility,” Alvarado said.
UCSD administrators told The Guardian that the new site reflects the University’s aim to reduce technological business and administrative inefficiencies, per UCSD’s Strategic Plan.
“The university’s current student systems have supported the campus for many decades, but some are aging, increasingly complex to maintain, and less able to support evolving university needs,” Alvarado said. “This transition is not just about replacing technology, but about creating a more sustainable foundation for student services in the years ahead.”
