Triton Student System (TSS) Login and Navigation

TSS is UC San Diego's new student information system, replacing MyTritonLink for Fall 2026. It's the tool you'll use to book courses, see your schedule and grades, take care of billing, financial aid, and more.

Logging in to TSS

There are two ways to log into TSS: navigating from the UC San Diego website and using the direct TSS link. Both options are outlined below.

Logging in via the UC San Diego website. 

1. Open your web browser. Navigate to www.ucsd.edu and click on Academics. This opens a dropdown menu. 

2. Click on TritonLink in the Academics dropdown menu.  

3. Once on the TritonLink website, click on the Triton Student System icon on the top right side of the screen.  

4. There are two options on the login screen: Extended Studies and UCSD SSO. Extended Studies is for the Division of Extended Studies students and main campus alumni. UCSD SSO is for employees and main campus students (undergraduate, graduate, health sciences, etc.). Click on the corresponding button for your classification.  

5. Next, you will land on the Single Sign-On login page. Type your UCSD email address (TritonLink user name) and password into the fields and click Login. 

6. Complete two-factor authentication via Duo. 

NOTE: For more information about setting up DUO dual authentication, visit the Two-Step Login Blink page.

TSS Homepage Overview

1. You will now arrive at the TSS Homepage. At the top of the screen, you will see two tabs: My Home and Student. You are currently on the My Home tab.  

2. Toward the top of the screen, you'll see a section called Pages. Underneath, you will see a Student tile. Click the Student tile to go to your Student Overview.

Tip: You can also click the Student tab at the top of the screen to go directly to your Student Overview — it takes you to the same place as the Student tile.

Note: You may receive a timeout error after a period of inactivity. If you can't log back in by refreshing your browser, open a new tab and use the TSS login link to return to the login page. You'll be prompted to complete Single Sign-On again.

First Steps After Login

The first time you log in — and any time your personal information requires review — you may see a Verify Personal Details prompt. This is asking you to confirm that your contact information on file is current. Click Verify to acknowledge and continue to your Student Overview Homepage.

Your Student Overview Homepage

Your Student Overview Homepage is your central hub in TSS. On the left, you'll see your profile card displaying your name, Triton Student Number (TSN), and university email address.

💡Tip: You can rearrange the sections on your Student Overview by clicking and dragging any of the boxes to a new position on the page.  

NOTE: Both Main Campus and Extended Studies (DES) sections will show for all students regardless of current program. This is expected behavior. If you are a Main Campus student, you can ignore the Extended Studies (DES) section. If you are an Extended Studies (DES) student, you can ignore the Main Campus section.

Updating and Locating Your Time Zone

TSS allows you to customize how dates, times, and numbers display based on your personal preferences. Follow the instructions below to view and update these settings. NOTE: updating your settings is OPTIONAL. If you are comfortable with how time zones and dates appear in TSS, do not change anything.  

1. In the top right corner of the Student Overview Homepage, you will see a circle with your initials in it. Click on the circle.  

2. Select settings on the resulting menu. 

3. This opens the settings menu. Click Language and Region on the left side menu.
