A neutral evidence profile, not a ranking. Every field below reports what the campus's own published pages showed on the verification date, or says plainly that the information was not located or not yet reviewed.

College Fee Waiver on the audited page

No. The audited veterans page does not mention the CalVet College Fee Waiver. That codes the page, not the office: staff may well advise on the waiver in person.

Campus-hosted fee waiver instructions

Not located during this review. Links out to CalVet's own site are not counted as campus-hosted instructions.

Veterans office contact as published

svrc@ucsd.edu | (858) 534-5080A veterans office contact is not necessarily the School Certifying Official who certifies enrollment to VA; ask the office which staff member certifies.

Statewide rules and federal data

These fields come from statewide sources, not the campus site: VA's GI Bill Comparison Tool data and the California Education Code, each verified 2026-08-27.

Yellow Ribbon data under review. Source re-verification in progress: VA GIDS version 1525 (2026-10-27) returns substantially fewer California agreements, including omissions inconsistent with a school's published 2026-27 Yellow Ribbon information. The rows below are an August 27 source snapshot, not verified current participation. Confirm current details directly with the school certifying official.

Yellow Ribbon (VA data)

Listed in the archived August 2026 VA snapshot. That dataset included 3 Yellow Ribbon agreements for this campus:

Undergraduate, College: up to an unlimited school contribution, all eligible students.
Graduate, College: up to an unlimited school contribution, all eligible students.
Doctorate, College: up to an unlimited school contribution, all eligible students.

These agreements appeared in VA's August 27, 2026 GIDS snapshot; they are not a guarantee of current participation, award availability, or coverage. A later VA source version differs materially and is under review. Ask the school certifying official about the current academic year.Source: VA GI Bill Comparison Tool data, archived Yellow Ribbon program agreements (GIDS version 1496, published 2026-08-27)

Priority registration

Requested by statute. California Education Code section 66025.8 requests, but does not require, that the University of California grant the same priority registration it mandates for CSU and community college campuses. Each UC campus sets its own registration policy. How this campus implements priority registration (registration dates, verification steps) is not yet reviewed under the audit protocol.Source: California Education Code section 66025.8 (amended by AB 1715, Stats. 2022, Ch. 379, effective January 1, 2023)

Published certification timing

No published certification timing statement located on the audited veterans page (automated text scan, 2026-08-27). Automated text scan of each audited veterans page's HTML on 2026-08-27, followed the same day by a browser-rendered pass on the pages that blocked the automated scan. A page that renders its content in the browser may publish a timing statement the HTML scan cannot see; those pages were re-checked in the browser pass, and pages that block both methods are marked accordingly rather than coded as a finding.

Not yet reviewed

The following fields are part of the Observatory's campus evidence plan but have not yet been reviewed under the published audit protocol. They are listed so silence is never mistaken for a finding.

Credit for military learning (CPL) implementation: Not yet reviewed under the published audit protocol.
Campus-based fees remaining after the College Fee Waiver: Not yet reviewed under the published audit protocol.
Campus implementation of priority registration (dates, verification steps): Not yet reviewed under the published audit protocol.

This profile is a row in the published College Fee Waiver Implementation Audit. Compare campuses in the campus directory, see the San Diego County pathway profile, or review who owns each step on the responsibility map.
