University of California, San Diego

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
When the <a href="/facts/Regents_of_the_University_of_California/TVfy97mt">Regents of the University of California</a> originally authorized the San Diego campus in 1956, it was planned to be a graduate and research institution, providing instruction in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a> Local citizens supported the idea, voting the same year to transfer to the university 59 acres (24 ha) of mesa land on the coast near the pre-existing <a href="/facts/Scripps_Institution_of_Oceanography/WJX2h16Y">Scripps Institution of Oceanography</a>. The Regents requested an additional gift of 550 acres (220 ha) of undeveloped mesa land northeast of Scripps, as well as 500 acres (200 ha) on the former site of <a href="/facts/Camp_Calvin_B._Matthews/MrCRX9qb">Camp Matthews</a> from the federal government, but <a href="/facts/Roger_Revelle/mXuHLewk">Roger Revelle</a>, then director of the Scripps Institution and main advocate for establishing the new campus, jeopardized the site selection by exposing the La Jolla community's exclusive real estate business practices, which were antagonistic to minority racial and religious groups. This outraged local conservatives, as well as Regent <a href="/facts/Edwin_W._Pauley/PL5c62K2">Edwin W. Pauley</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> Revelle also got involved in a bitter debate with <a href="/facts/Jonas_Salk/1dkedaHa">Jonas Salk</a> over where Salk's <a href="/facts/Salk_Institute_for_Biological_Studies/eY7raMMp">proposed institute</a> would be located relative to the new campus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a>UC president <a href="/facts/Clark_Kerr/vkw3aeqd">Clark Kerr</a> satisfied San Diego city donors by changing the proposed name from the University of California, La Jolla, to the University of California, San Diego.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> The city voted to agree to its part of the deal in 1958, and the UC Board of Regents approved construction of the new campus in 1960. Because Revelle's tactless approaches to the clashes with Pauley and Salk had damaged his reputation with the board of regents, Kerr realized he could not nominate Revelle as the campus's first chancellor. Revelle's nomination would have become "an angry and drawn-out affair" and greatly detracted from the campus's future development. <a href="/facts/Herbert_York/mzVxg51x">Herbert York</a>, first director of <a href="/facts/Lawrence_Livermore_National_Laboratory/WuXIbIKz">Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory</a>, was selected instead.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> York planned the main campus according to the "<a href="/facts/Oxbridge/58aFk4WY">Oxbridge</a>" model, relying on many of Revelle's ideas.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a>
According to Kerr, "San Diego always asked for the best," though this created much friction throughout the UC system, including with Kerr himself, because UC San Diego often seemed to be "asking for too much and too fast."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> Kerr attributed UC San Diego's "special personality" to Scripps, which for over five decades had been the most isolated UC unit in every sense: geographically, financially, and institutionally.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a> Scripps had originally explored the simple idea of adding a small program for graduate students to its existing research program.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> Over time, that idea evolved into something much larger and more complex, and it was a great shock to the Scripps community to learn that Scripps was now expected to become the nucleus of a new UC campus and would now be the object of far more attention from both the university administration in Berkeley and the state government in Sacramento.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a>
UC San Diego was the first general campus of the University of California to be designed "from the top down" in terms of research emphasis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> Local leaders disagreed on whether the new school should be a technical research institute or a more broadly based school that included undergraduates as well. <a href="/facts/John_Jay_Hopkins/PK4kkaSS">John Jay Hopkins</a> of <a href="/facts/General_Dynamics/LoTpPuU6">General Dynamics Corporation</a> pledged one million dollars for the former while the City Council offered free land for the latter.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a> The original authorization for the San Diego campus given by the <a href="/facts/Regents_of_the_University_of_California/TVfy97mt">UC Regents</a> in 1956 approved a "graduate program in science and technology" that included undergraduate programs, a compromise that won both the support of General Dynamics and the city voters' approval.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a>

Arnold</a>, a pioneering cosmochemist; and <a href="/facts/Hans_Suess/Vuc8f8LR">Hans Suess</a>, who had published the first paper on the <a href="/facts/Greenhouse_effect/LGdNYYj3">greenhouse effect</a> with Revelle in the previous year were early recruits to the faculty in 1958.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a> <a href="/facts/Maria_Goeppert_Mayer/Ung0ch6E">Maria Goeppert Mayer</a>, later the second female <a href="/facts/List_of_Nobel_laureates/3vGWzdwa">Nobel laureate</a> in <a href="/facts/Physics/a7aH2y08">physics</a>, was appointed professor of physics in 1960.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> The graduate division of the school opened in 1960 with 20 faculty in residence, with instruction offered in the fields of physics, <a href="/facts/Biology/1M1ee3pB">biology</a>, <a href="/facts/Chemistry/SrNqkGVm">chemistry</a>, and <a href="/facts/Earth_science/rQsXCSbM">earth science</a>. Before the main campus completed construction, classes were held in Scripps Institution of Oceanography.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a>
By 1963, new facilities on the mesa had been finished for the School of Science and Engineering, and new buildings were under construction for Social Sciences and Humanities. Ten additional faculty in those disciplines were hired, and the whole site was designated the First College of the new campus (it was later renamed after Roger Revelle). York resigned as chancellor that year and was replaced by <a href="/facts/John_Semple_Galbraith/hs6ApL0b">John Semple Galbraith</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> The undergraduate program accepted its first class of 181 freshman at <a href="/facts/Revelle_College/dJGxvHfl">Revelle College</a> in 1964.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a> Second College was founded in 1964, on the land deeded by the federal government, and named after environmentalist <a href="/facts/John_Muir/dNsfW7cq">John Muir</a> two years later.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> The <a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_San_Diego_School_of_Medicine/tBBMUw1L">School of Medicine</a> also accepted its first students in 1966.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a>
Political theorist <a href="/facts/Herbert_Marcuse/KNTX9fkF">Herbert Marcuse</a> joined the faculty in 1965. A champion of the <a href="/facts/New_Left/hpCz4K8u">New Left</a>, he reportedly was the first protester to occupy the administration building in a demonstration organized by his student, political activist <a href="/facts/Angela_Davis/tY3xdYnl">Angela Davis</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a> The <a href="/facts/American_Legion/bBkpohv1">American Legion</a> offered to buy out the remainder of Marcuse's contract for $20,000; the Regents censured Chancellor <a href="/facts/William_J._McGill/j9Jx0auy">William J. McGill</a> for defending Marcuse on the basis of <a href="/facts/Academic_freedom/p8NDbSQF">academic freedom</a>, but further action was averted after local leaders expressed support for Marcuse.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a> Further student unrest was felt at the university, as the United States increased its involvement in the <a href="/facts/Vietnam_War/W0gfbGTE">Vietnam War</a> during the mid-1960s, when a student raised a <a href="/facts/Viet_Minh/l03MGQh5">Viet Minh</a> flag over the campus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> Protests escalated as the war continued and were only exacerbated after the National Guard <a href="/facts/Kent_State_shootings/6JuJtxzd">fired on student protesters</a> at <a href="/facts/Kent_State_University/TXmJhTje">Kent State University</a> in 1970. Over 200 students occupied Urey Hall, with one student setting himself on fire in protest of the war.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a> On May 11, 1970, George Winne, Jr., an undergraduate student majoring in history, <a href="/facts/Self-immolation_of_George_Winne_Jr./h1bPplVn">killed himself</a> on campus by <a href="/facts/Self-immolation/pvBkM4P7">self-immolation</a> while carrying a sign that read "In God's name, End this war".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a>
Early research activity and faculty quality, notably in the sciences, was integral to shaping the focus and culture of the university. Even before UC San Diego had its own campus, faculty recruits had already made significant research breakthroughs, such as the <a href="/facts/Keeling_Curve/6MueKVbs">Keeling Curve</a>, a graph that plots rapidly increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and was the first significant evidence for global <a href="/facts/Climate_change/rEN4BDE7">climate change</a>; the <a href="/facts/Kohn%25E2%2580%2593Sham_equations/mz2BklaC">Kohn–Sham equations</a>, used to investigate particular atoms and molecules in <a href="/facts/Quantum_chemistry/H9AXV0lx">quantum chemistry</a>; and the <a href="/facts/Miller%25E2%2580%2593Urey_experiment/SYTLzGJu">Miller–Urey experiment</a>, which gave birth to the field of <a href="/facts/Abiogenesis/BvAmLPQP">prebiotic chemistry</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a>
Engineering, particularly computer science, became an important part of the university's academics as it matured. University researchers helped develop <a href="/facts/UCSD_Pascal/xxmwFYV5">UCSD Pascal</a>, an early machine-independent programming language that later heavily influenced <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a>;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a> the <a href="/facts/National_Science_Foundation_Network/b95QF5hR">National Science Foundation Network</a>, a precursor to the <a href="/facts/Internet/Xw1rVvJU">Internet</a>; and the <a href="/facts/Network_News_Transfer_Protocol/YTgxGqgR">Network News Transfer Protocol</a> during the late 1970s to 1980s.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a>
Under <a href="/facts/Richard_C._Atkinson/3BFllF8C">Richard C. Atkinson</a>'s leadership as chancellor from 1980 to 1995, the university strengthened its ties with the city of San Diego by encouraging <a href="/facts/Technology_transfer/PVLwHDq1">technology transfer</a> with developing companies, transforming San Diego into a world leader in technology-based industries. He oversaw a rapid expansion of the <a href="/facts/Jacobs_School_of_Engineering/2KKcXrRP">School of Engineering</a>, later renamed after <a href="/facts/Qualcomm/v54S3UgA">Qualcomm</a> founder <a href="/facts/Irwin_M._Jacobs/TF8QHYuc">Irwin M. Jacobs</a>, with the construction of the <a href="/facts/San_Diego_Supercomputer_Center/LtSAk3Wh">San Diego Supercomputer Center</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> and establishment of the computer science, electrical engineering, and bioengineering departments.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> Private donations increased from $15 million to nearly $50 million annually, faculty expanded by nearly 50%, and enrollment doubled to about 18,000 students during his administration. By the end of his chancellorship, the quality of UC San Diego graduate programs was ranked 10th in the nation by the National Research Council.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a>
The university continued to undergo further expansion during the first decade of the new millennium with the establishment and construction of two new professional schools — the <a href="/facts/Skaggs_School_of_Pharmacy/7e0hmb3B">Skaggs School of Pharmacy</a> and the <a href="/facts/Rady_School_of_Management/DYrem3LK">Rady School of Management</a>—and the <a href="/facts/California_Institute_for_Telecommunications_and_Information_Technology/WLnhDsDH">California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology</a>, a research institute run jointly with <a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_Irvine/gS3nEt3V">UC Irvine</a>. UC San Diego also reached two financial milestones during this time, becoming the first university in the western region to raise over $1 billion in its eight-year fundraising campaign in 2007<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> and also obtaining an additional $1 billion through research contracts and grants in a single fiscal year for the first time in 2010.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> Despite this, due to the <a href="/facts/2008%25E2%2580%259312_California_budget_crisis/M7uJmjc5">California budget crisis</a>, the university loaned $40 million against its own assets in 2009 to offset a significant reduction in state educational appropriations.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a> The salary of <a href="/facts/Pradeep_Khosla/0wGul4SF">Pradeep Khosla</a>, who became chancellor in 2012, has been the subject of controversy amidst continued budget cuts and tuition increases.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a> In 2012, campus launched a 10-year, $2 billion fundraising campaign, which the campus completed 3 years early in 2019, making it the youngest university in the United States to have completed a $2 billion fundraiser.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a>
On November 27, 2017, the university announced it would leave its longtime athletic home of the <a href="/facts/California_Collegiate_Athletic_Association/XxFlAH4D">California Collegiate Athletic Association</a>, an <a href="/facts/NCAA_Division_II/kGjoDgS7">NCAA Division II</a> league, to begin a transition to <a href="/facts/NCAA_Division_I/fJv6wUW1">NCAA Division I</a> in 2020. It joined the <a href="/facts/Big_West_Conference/gncMCKrN">Big West Conference</a>, already home to four other UC campuses (<a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_Davis/LTCyhaP5">Davis</a>, <a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_Irvine/gS3nEt3V">Irvine</a>, <a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_Riverside/QVdCJj5c">Riverside</a>, <a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_Santa_Barbara/G7UvBWlK">Santa Barbara</a>). The university transitioned to NCAA Division I competition on July 1, 2020.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a> The transition period will run through the 2023–24 school year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a>
In connection with the <a href="/facts/2024_pro-Palestinian_protests_on_university_campuses/kJ072smX">University Pro-Palestine Protests</a>, an encampment was formed adjacent to Library Walk on May 1, 2024. Police cleared the encampment on May 6, 2024, and arrested 64 people.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a> Students responded to the arrests with a <a href="/facts/Walkout/aeMjYpfm">walk-out</a> two days later.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a>

UC San Diego is located in the residential neighborhood of <a href="/facts/La_Jolla/f9wkX2n0">La Jolla</a> of northern <a href="/facts/San_Diego/YFUP7gB9">San Diego</a>, bordered by the communities of <a href="/facts/La_Jolla_Shores/2CnBFGJL">La Jolla Shores</a>, <a href="/facts/Torrey_Pines%2c_San_Diego/usPkxjcT">Torrey Pines</a>, and <a href="/facts/University_City%2c_San_Diego/rx8DQ6gJ">University City</a>. The main campus consists of 761 buildings that occupy 1,152 acres (466 ha), with natural reserves covering about 889 acres (360 ha) and outlying facilities taking up the remaining area.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a> The <a href="/facts/Interstate_5_in_California/DQjYaL5G">San Diego Freeway (Interstate 5)</a> passes through the campus and separates <a href="/facts/UC_San_Diego_Health/xn7g8NPe">Jacobs Medical Center</a> and Mesa apartment housing from the greater part of the university. The <a href="/facts/Preuss_School/KnxnJUSy">Preuss School</a>, a college-preparatory <a href="/facts/Charter_school/mvttNkwB">charter school</a> established and administered by UC San Diego, also lies on the eastern portion of the campus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a>
Standing at the center of the university is the iconic <a href="/facts/Geisel_Library/UNjkfCcv">Geisel Library</a>, named after <a href="/facts/Dr._Seuss/y4E95SML">Dr. Seuss</a> following a $20 million donation from his wife <a href="/facts/Audrey_Geisel/S87seo2I">Audrey Geisel</a>. Library Walk, a heavily traveled pathway leading from the library to Gilman Drive, lies adjacent or close to <a href="/facts/Price_Center/zDLuGbsW">Price Center</a>, Center Hall, International Center, and various student services buildings, including the Student Services Center and the Career Services building. The layout of the main campus centers on the library, which is roughly surrounded by the eight residential colleges of <a href="/facts/Revelle_College/dJGxvHfl">Revelle</a>, <a href="/facts/John_Muir_College/UW9aj5gz">Muir</a>, <a href="/facts/Thurgood_Marshall_College/LcQCEDPg">Marshall</a>, <a href="/facts/Earl_Warren_College/9MLPYsg3">Warren</a>, <a href="/facts/Eleanor_Roosevelt_College/V54FlM01">Roosevelt</a>, <a href="/facts/Sixth_College/k6sCFXQo">Sixth</a>, <a href="/facts/Seventh_College/XbxAJLET">Seventh</a>, and <a href="/facts/Eighth_College/wIUPRKXq">Eighth</a>, in addition to the <a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_San_Diego_School_of_Medicine/tBBMUw1L">School of Medicine</a>. The eight colleges maintain separate housing facilities for their students and each college's buildings are differentiated by distinct architectural styles. As residential colleges were added while the university expanded, buildings in newer colleges were designed with styles that were starkly different from that of the original campus. The disparate architectural styles led <a href="/facts/Travel_%252B_Leisure/tKAI9h8E">Travel + Leisure</a>, in its October 2013 issue, to name the university as one of the ugliest campuses in America, likening it to "a cupboard full of kitchen appliances whose function you can't quite fathom."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a> However, the campus is currently undergoing rapid redevelopment projects.

In addition to its academic and housing facilities, the campus features eucalyptus groves,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a> <a href="/facts/Birch_Aquarium/Xo5eBXGU">Birch Aquarium</a>, and several major research centers. The Scripps Institution owns a sea port and several open ocean vessels for marine research.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a> Several large shake facilities, including the world record holding Large High Performance Outdoor Shake Table, used for earthquake simulations, are also maintained by the university.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a>
The university has actively sought to reduce carbon emissions and energy usage on campus, earning a "gold" sustainability performance rating in the Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS) survey. It was also praised in The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges: 2013 Edition for its strong commitment to sustainability in its academic offerings, campus infrastructure, activities and career preparation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a>

<h3>Academic facilities</h3>

When the campus opened in 1964, it consisted only of <a href="/facts/Revelle_College/dJGxvHfl">Revelle College</a> and <a href="/facts/Scripps_Institution_of_Oceanography/WJX2h16Y">Scripps Institution of Oceanography</a>. The school's rapid increase in enrollment and opening to undergraduate students over its first decade spurred major campus expansion. <a href="/facts/John_Muir_College/UW9aj5gz">Muir</a>, <a href="/facts/Thurgood_Marshall_College/LcQCEDPg">Marshall</a>, and <a href="/facts/Earl_Warren_College/9MLPYsg3">Warren</a> Colleges were established and built during the late 1960s through 1980s as the student population continued to grow considerably. Initially, the campus followed a rough north–south axis alongside <a href="/facts/U.S._Route_101_in_California/PEWxKjW4">Historic Route 101</a>, though construction in the following decades deviated from this, with the core of the campus shifting towards Geisel Library.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66">66</a>
The school's two engineering departments were merged into the <a href="/facts/Jacobs_School_of_Engineering/2KKcXrRP">School of Engineering</a> (renamed the Jacobs School of Engineering in 1987 in honor of Irwin Jacobs, founder of Qualcomm, and his wife Joan Jacobs) in 1982. New buildings have been continually added as the division expands. Major additions include the <a href="/facts/San_Diego_Supercomputer_Center/LtSAk3Wh">San Diego Supercomputer Center</a>, completed in 1986; Powell-Focht Bioengineering Hall, completed in 2003; and the Structural and Materials Engineering building, completed in 2012.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68">68</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a> Significant construction work on the previously undeveloped northern part of campus also took place during this time. Two graduate professional schools, the <a href="/facts/School_of_Global_Policy_and_Strategy/trnBLPgy">School of Global Policy and Strategy</a> and the <a href="/facts/Rady_School_of_Management/DYrem3LK">Rady School of Management</a>, were constructed in the area adjacent to and near the Supercomputer Center, as well as <a href="/facts/Eleanor_Roosevelt_College/V54FlM01">Roosevelt College</a>, a transfer student apartment complex called The Village at Torrey Pines, and the <a href="/facts/RIMAC_(UC_San_Diego)/1QyvjLHn">RIMAC</a> athletic facilities.

<h3>Arts facilities</h3>
UC San Diego's Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theatre District, located just south of <a href="/facts/Revelle_College/dJGxvHfl">Revelle College</a>, houses the Mandell Weiss Center for the Performing Arts. The center's facilities are shared with <a href="/facts/La_Jolla_Playhouse/DGWJ3VNg">La Jolla Playhouse</a>, a <a href="/facts/Tony_Awards/Md77rBE0">Tony Award</a>-winning professional theatre which is partnered with the university. UC San Diego and La Jolla Playhouse share four large performance venues in the Theatre District: the <a href="/facts/Mandell_Weiss_Theatre/Px9CRXds">Mandell Weiss Theatre</a>, the Mandell Weiss Forum, the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre, and the Theodore and Adele Shank Theatre. These venues, on top of hosting the undergraduate and graduate productions of the UC San Diego Department of Theatre and Dance, often host the Playhouse's professional productions of plays and musicals, of which several have transferred to <a href="/facts/Broadway_theatre/6USkK8x9">Broadway</a>. Other theatre performance facilities at UC San Diego include the Molli and Arthur Wagner Dance Building, also located within the Theatre District, and the Arthur Wagner Theatre located in <a href="/facts/Revelle_College/dJGxvHfl">Revelle College</a>'s Galbraith Hall.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71">71</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72">72</a>
Other arts facilities include the 800-seat Mandeville Auditorium and <a href="/facts/Conrad_Prebys_Music_Center/1yDdALPq">Conrad Prebys Music Center</a>, used by UC San Diego's music department, as well as Mandeville Center, the Visual Arts Facilities (VAF) building, and the Structural and Material Engineerings (SME) building, used by UC San Diego's visual arts department.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:73" href="#fn:73">73</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:74" href="#fn:74">74</a> In 2022, UC San Diego opened the Epstein Family Amphitheater, a 2,650-seat <a href="/facts/Amphitheatre/XTkbPFgu">open air</a> performance venue featuring a year-round program (including summer) of concerts, performances, and events.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:75" href="#fn:75">75</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:76" href="#fn:76">76</a>
The 1978 film <a href="/facts/Attack_of_the_Killer_Tomatoes/qndUtMzw">Attack of the Killer Tomatoes</a> was filmed on campus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:77" href="#fn:77">77</a>

More than a dozen public art projects, part of the <a href="/facts/Stuart_Collection/pll0Cuap">Stuart Collection</a>, decorate the campus. The first, and a particularly wel <a href="/facts/Sun_God_(statue)/R0pQBmTM">Sun God</a>, a large winged creature by <a href="/facts/Niki_de_Saint_Phalle/6fsBaPsN">Niki de Saint Phalle</a> located near the Faculty Club. Other collection pieces include <a href="/facts/Richard_Fleischner/wRCycpTB">Richard Fleischner</a>'s La Jolla Project (a collection of <a href="/facts/Stonehenge/5TDRUktP">Stonehenge</a>-like stone blocks), <a href="/facts/Do_Ho_Suh/cneU5XB0">Do Ho Suh</a>'s <a href="/facts/Fallen_Star/LXCYkMtI">Fallen Star</a> (a house sitting atop an engineering building in Warren College), a table by <a href="/facts/Jenny_Holzer/BsBPqtGh">Jenny Holzer</a>, an installation by <a href="/facts/Bruce_Nauman/xmouPrsR">Bruce Nauman</a> on the Powell Structural Systems Laboratory titled Vices and Virtues, and three metallic <a href="/facts/Eucalyptus/Y0BjE3KQ">Eucalyptus</a> trees by <a href="/facts/Terry_Allen_(artist)/3YTcN9D2">Terry Allen</a>.

The collection also includes a work by <a href="/facts/Alexis_Smith_(artist)/tjQ6KyEz">Alexis Smith</a> consisting of a path made of a large coiling snake whose head guides towards Geisel Library, with a quote from <a href="/facts/John_Milton/VCDqX83S">John Milton</a>'s <a href="/facts/Paradise_Lost/wDw6Bwuv">Paradise Lost</a> carved along its length: "And wilt thou not be loath to leave this Paradise, but shalt possess a Paradise within thee, happier far." The path circles around its own garden and a large granite book-shaped block. One of the newest additions to the collection is <a href="/facts/Tim_Hawkinson/JeaLLdFx">Tim Hawkinson</a>'s giant teddy bear made of six boulders located in between the newly constructed <a href="/facts/Calit2/WLnhDsDH">Calit2</a> buildings.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:78" href="#fn:78">78</a> Another notable campus sight was the graffiti staircase of Mandeville Hall, a series of corridors that had been tagged with <a href="/facts/Graffiti/xE9oqKsk">graffiti</a> by generations of students over decades of use; this was recently replaced with the Graffiti Art Park.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:79" href="#fn:79">79</a> Students in the university's visual arts department also create temporary public art installations as part of their coursework. In 2007, the university sponsored a $56,000 <a href="/facts/Performance_art/lzGqnHpR">performance art</a> project to develop a sense of community at the sprawling campus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:80" href="#fn:80">80</a>
<a href="/facts/Shepard_Fairey/b87HyIDL">Shepard Fairey</a>, most notable for his <a href="/facts/Barack_Obama_%2522Hope%2522_poster/Ve6u5Ubo">Barack Obama "Hope" poster</a>, painted a mural at the <a href="/facts/Ch%25C3%25A9_Caf%25C3%25A9/cgPrdhwJ">Ché Café</a>, one of UC San Diego's most famous buildings and collectives, on an outside wall facing Scholars Drive, that features the likenesses of <a href="/facts/Martin_Luther_King_Jr./dhWS0DP0">Martin Luther King Jr.</a> and other political figures. Underground street artist Swampy created a large piece inside the Ché Café, visible through the courtyard depicting his signature mammoth skeleton. Local San Diego artist Mario Torero, in collaboration with university art students, painted a mural at the Café in commemoration of Angela Davis and Rigoberta Menchú, along with other notable political figures. The Ché Café remains a hub for underground and politically progressive artists. Torero was invited back to the university in 2009 to create a mural called "Chicano Legacy" based on content suggested by <a href="/facts/Chicano/2gr93ySK">Chicano</a> students.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:81" href="#fn:81">81</a> The mural is a $10,000 digital image on a 15-by-50-foot (4.6 by 15.2 m) canvas mounted on the exterior of Peterson Hall, which includes representations of <a href="/facts/C%25C3%25A9sar_Ch%25C3%25A1vez/3UzHnba6">César Chávez</a> and <a href="/facts/Dolores_Huerta/6Wtlnq9B">Dolores Huerta</a> as well as the kiosk structure at <a href="/facts/Chicano_Park/ryNf6dw3">Chicano Park</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:82" href="#fn:82">82</a> In 2016 a mural entitled "Enduring Spell" was completed by El Mac in the Argo courtyard,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:83" href="#fn:83">83</a>

<h3>Transportation</h3>
UC San Diego maintains about 17,000 parking spaces and offers a number of alternative transportation options.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:84" href="#fn:84">84</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:85" href="#fn:85">85</a> The university runs a shuttle system, which is provided free for students, faculty, and staff, that services the main campus, <a href="/facts/UC_San_Diego_Medical_Center%2c_Hillcrest/VhCJhvqd">UC San Diego Medical Center</a>, university affiliated research centers, as well as nearby apartment complexes. As part of a greater initiative to reduce the university's impact on the environment, a portion of the shuttle fleet has been refitted to exclusively use biodiesel fuel derived from vegetable oil.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:86" href="#fn:86">86</a> In 2023, UC San Diego Triton Transit begun operating electric shuttles for its SIO route. However, plans to expand electric bus usage are currently paused as the company who manufactures the buses has declared bankruptcy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:87" href="#fn:87">87</a> UC San Diego also reserves parking spaces for carpools, maintains a fleet of on-campus <a href="/facts/Zipcar/wWdM7LgE">Zipcars</a>, and provides free bike rentals.

Additionally, since November 21, 2021, the university can be accessed by the <a href="/facts/San_Diego_Trolley/Par5yT4a">San Diego Trolley</a>. On that day, the existing <a href="/facts/Blue_Line_(San_Diego_Trolley)/M3N44JuC">Blue Line</a> was <a href="/facts/Blue_Line_(San_Diego_Trolley)/M3N44JuC">extended</a> north from <a href="/facts/Downtown_San_Diego/0afo96qB">downtown San Diego</a> to UC San Diego and the University City area, the culmination of construction starting in 2016. The extension gave the campus two trolley stations: <a href="/facts/UC_San_Diego_Health_La_Jolla_station/2F4kcAS0">UC San Diego Health La Jolla</a> and <a href="/facts/UC_San_Diego_Central_Campus_station/FWG3j4Nf">UC San Diego Central Campus station</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:88" href="#fn:88">88</a> A major goal of the project is to ease traffic and parking on campus while providing more accessible transportation to nearby areas. As part of the university's existing public transit partnerships, all students have unlimited access to MTS regional buses and trolleys, as well as most <a href="/facts/North_County_Transit_District/cEuE9AT3">North County Transit District</a> transportation services, upon paying a "transportation fee" as part of registration.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:89" href="#fn:89">89</a>

<h3>Construction</h3>
Several facilities are currently under construction at the UC San Diego campus. Most prominently, the construction of new mixed-use residential areas which the university calls "Living and Learning Neighborhoods". The neighborhoods contain residential housing, classrooms, lecture halls, dining, and occasionally underground parking.
The first neighborhood constructed, the North Torrey Pines Living and Learning Neighborhood, was completed in 2020. The neighborhood currently primarily houses students from <a href="/facts/Sixth_College/k6sCFXQo">Sixth College</a>, and is located between John Muir College and Thurgood Marshall College.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:90" href="#fn:90">90</a>

The university currently has three Living & Learning neighborhoods under construction. The soonest to open is the Theatre District Living and Learning Neighborhood, which will house approximately 2,000 undergraduate students. The neighborhood is set to be the location of <a href="/facts/Eighth_College/wIUPRKXq">Eighth College</a>. Construction began early 2022, and would take place over what were previously two parking lots. The neighborhood had an anticipated opening date of Fall 2023, but was extended due to construction delays.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:91" href="#fn:91">91</a> The Theatre District Living & Learning Neighborhood is currently scheduled to open between Fall 2023 and Spring 2024.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:92" href="#fn:92">92</a> The only currently open building is the Podemos building, which contains housing as well as academic instruction rooms.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:93" href="#fn:93">93</a> The Theatre District Living and Learning Neighborhood features an underground parking garage.
The Pepper Canyon West Living and Learning Neighborhood is also currently under construction. The neighborhood is located in the west segment of the Pepper Canyon area of the university, next to <a href="/facts/UC_San_Diego_Central_Campus_station/FWG3j4Nf">UC San Diego Central Campus station</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:94" href="#fn:94">94</a> The Pepper Canyon West Living and Learning Neighborhood is expected to house 1,300 transfer students and upper-division undergraduate students from all eight UC San Diego colleges in single-occupancy rooms.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:95" href="#fn:95">95</a> The Pepper Canyon West Living & Learning Neighborhood is expected to open Fall 2024.
The Ridge Walk North Living and Learning Community is also currently under construction at UC San Diego. This neighborhood is located in the easternmost portion of <a href="/facts/Thurgood_Marshall_College/LcQCEDPg">Thurgood Marshall College</a>, and is expected to house 2,400 undergraduate students, primarily from Thurgood Marshall College. Construction is estimated to finish between Fall 2025 and Winter 2026.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:96" href="#fn:96">96</a>
In May 2023, the university announced the construction of Triton Center, a new facility near University Center that will host numerous student services along with an Alumni & Welcome Center.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:97" href="#fn:97">97</a> It is expected to open Winter of 2026.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:98" href="#fn:98">98</a>
In September 2023, chancellor Pradeep Khosla announced his intention to present a housing proposition to the <a href="/facts/Regents_of_the_University_of_California/TVfy97mt">Regents of the University of California</a>. The housing proposition currently aims to house an additional 6,000 students, though Khosla states he is open to changing the scale of the project. The proposition is expected to reach the Regents sometime in 2024.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:99" href="#fn:99">99</a> If the proposition is accepted by the regents, the new student housing would occupy what is currently Pepper Canyon East.
The university also has various planned and ongoing projects in other locations, such as at <a href="/facts/Scripps_Institution_of_Oceanography/WJX2h16Y">Scripps Institution of Oceanography</a>, <a href="/facts/UC_San_Diego_Health/xn7g8NPe">UC San Diego Health</a> La Jolla, and at <a href="/facts/UC_San_Diego_Medical_Center%2c_Hillcrest/VhCJhvqd">UC San Diego Medical Center</a> in Hillcrest. These projects include renovations to <a href="/facts/Birch_Aquarium/Xo5eBXGU">Birch Aquarium</a>, a new fire station, and a 30-acre science research center, among many others.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:100" href="#fn:100">100</a>

<h3>Residential colleges</h3>

UC San Diego's undergraduate division is organized into eight <a href="/facts/Residential_college/qr4camNh">residential colleges</a>, each headed by its own <a href="/facts/Provost_(education)/C0cKfIKM">provost</a>. They all set their own general education requirements, manage separate administrative and advising staff, and grant unique degrees. In chronological order by date of foundation, the eight colleges are:

<ol><li><a href="/facts/Revelle_College/dJGxvHfl">Revelle College</a>, founded in 1964 as First College, emphasizes a "Renaissance education" through the Humanities sequence which integrates history, literature, and philosophy. It has highly structured requirements.</li>
<li><a href="/facts/John_Muir_College/UW9aj5gz">John Muir College</a>, founded in 1967 as Second College, emphasizes a "spirit of self-sufficiency and individual choice" and offers loosely structured general-education requirements.</li>
<li><a href="/facts/Thurgood_Marshall_College/LcQCEDPg">Thurgood Marshall College</a>, founded in 1970 as Third College, emphasizes "scholarship, social responsibility and the belief that a liberal arts education must include an understanding of one's role in society".</li>
<li><a href="/facts/Earl_Warren_College/9MLPYsg3">Earl Warren College</a>, founded in 1974 as Fourth College, requires students to pursue a major of their choice while also requiring two "programs of concentration" in disciplines unrelated to each other and their major "toward a life in balance".</li>

<h3>Former television station</h3>
K35DG-D channel 35, branded on-air as UCSD TV, was a <a href="/facts/Low-power_broadcasting/Hvnku8xC">low-powered</a>, <a href="/facts/Class_A_television_service/XMrwlBWM">Class A</a> UCTV-<a href="/facts/Network_affiliate/SFPunbp1">affiliated</a> <a href="/facts/Television_station/yXVVqqbx">television station</a> <a href="/facts/City_of_license/SPId6NJv">licensed</a> owned by the University of California, San Diego. Throughout its history, there was more than one incident of inappropriate content being broadcast by student staff. On <a href="/facts/Cable_television/GzXa4pbW">cable</a>, the station was carried on <a href="/facts/Spectrum_(cable_service)/oQakmjws">Spectrum</a> digital channel 1231 and <a href="/facts/Cox_Communications/Ks8TVVfj">Cox</a> digital channel 135. The <a href="/facts/Broadcast_transmitter/W1HhBjNc">transmitter</a> was located atop <a href="/facts/Mount_Soledad/4FQPadkR">Mount Soledad</a> and aired public <a href="/facts/Lecture/doDfvaSE">lectures</a>, <a href="/facts/Documentary/T0FBJpMR">documentaries</a> and <a href="/facts/Fine_arts/eCVxehXE">fine arts</a> programming from UCTV, with <a href="/facts/Black-and-white/CXPjISFh">black-and-white</a> <a href="/facts/Movie/wM3b9Kk3">movies</a> on Saturday. In the <a href="/facts/Federal_Communications_Commission/Ueghz8W0">Federal Communications Commission</a> (FCC)'s <a href="/facts/Spectrum_reallocation/qmwqSua0">incentive auction</a>, K35DG-D sold its spectrum for $24,020,383; at the time, the station indicated that it would enter into a post-auction channel sharing agreement.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:220" href="#fn:220">220</a> K35DG-D ceased operations October 25, 2017,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:221" href="#fn:221">221</a> and its license was surrendered to the FCC for cancellation on October 27, 2017; UCSD TV continues to be carried on Cox, Spectrum, and <a href="/facts/AT%2526T_U-Verse/Wa7Sqewm">AT&T</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:222" href="#fn:222">222</a>

<h3>Traditions</h3>
The student body government coordinates a wide variety of concerts and events during the year. UC San Diego begins the fall quarter with Welcome Week to introduce new students to campus clubs and activities,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:223" href="#fn:223">223</a> starting the week with the All Campus Dance. The <a href="/facts/Hullabaloo_(festival)/rDsN6znT">Hullabaloo</a> music festival takes place every November as part of the university's Founders' Celebration. Bear Garden, a carnival held near Price Center, takes place every quarter throughout the year. Additionally, events are frequently held at the Loft, a performance lounge within Price Center.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:224" href="#fn:224">224</a>
The <a href="/facts/Sun_God_Festival/4RaqX79L">Sun God Festival</a>, named after <a href="/facts/Sun_God_(statue)/R0pQBmTM">the statue</a> in the <a href="/facts/Stuart_Collection/pll0Cuap">Stuart Collection</a>, has become one of the largest annual campus events.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:225" href="#fn:225">225</a> It is held annually in mid-May. It has grown into a 20,000 person event, featuring an eclectic mix of art, dance, and musical performances.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:226" href="#fn:226">226</a>
The Watermelon Drop takes place at the end of the spring <a href="/facts/Academic_quarter_(year_division)/rm4SwTTN">quarter</a>. One of the campus' oldest traditions, it originated in 1965 from a physics exam question centering on the velocity on impact of a dropped object. A group of students pursued that line of thought by dropping a watermelon from the top floor of Revelle's Urey Hall and measured the distance from the splat to the farthest travelling piece of fruit.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:227" href="#fn:227">227</a>

<h3>Housing</h3>
There are eight undergraduate residential colleges. First-year students are usually housed in the residence halls while upperclassmen live in the college apartments. Transfer students are housed in separate facilities from the residential colleges, in an area called The Village at Pepper Canyon.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:228" href="#fn:228">228</a> The housing facilities vary in design, though nearly all of them are of <a href="/facts/Modern_architecture/T3F1gFrv">modern</a> or <a href="/facts/Brutalist_architecture/uHvb5Ujd">brutalist</a> style. The vast majority of entering freshmen and about many undergraduates live on campus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:229" href="#fn:229">229</a>

Accommodations are made for students with specific needs. Undergraduate couples and families have the option of living in housing facilities that are normally available only to graduate students.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:232" href="#fn:232">232</a> The university also dedicates a portion of its facilities for those who wish to live in <a href="/facts/Gender-neutral_housing/b54PfYCq">gender-neutral</a> or LGBT housing.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:233" href="#fn:233">233</a>
Reflecting UC San Diego's diversity, International House, a complex of apartments located in Eleanor Roosevelt College, is dedicated to cross-cultural exchange between American and international students, housing about 350 students from more than 30 countries.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:234" href="#fn:234">234</a> International learning is fostered through formal programs including current affairs discussions, cultural nights, and a community newsletter. Upper-division undergraduates from all eight colleges, graduate students, faculty, and researchers are eligible to live in International House, located in the Eleanor Roosevelt College townhouses. Demand is very high for this special program and there is often a waitlist. Spaces in International House are not guaranteed and admission requires a separate application.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:235" href="#fn:235">235</a>
Housing plans also offer students access to dining facilities, which were named by <a href="/facts/People_for_the_Ethical_Treatment_of_Animals/2JMRqsKM">PETA</a> as the most <a href="/facts/Vegan/ENrKFBzz">vegan-friendly</a> in the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:236" href="#fn:236">236</a> As of 2025, each student living on campus, with few exceptions, is required to purchase a dining plan.
As of July 2024, UC San Diego had 22,000 beds in student housing, giving it the second-highest capacity in the United States behind <a href="/facts/University_of_California%2c_Los_Angeles/KwPz7AK1">UCLA</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:237" href="#fn:237">237</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:238" href="#fn:238">238</a> The university currently offers two years guaranteed housing to both incoming freshmen and incoming transfer students,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:239" href="#fn:239">239</a> and it intends to reach capacity for a four-year housing guarantee.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:240" href="#fn:240">240</a>

<h3>Greek life</h3>
UC San Diego boasts a large Greek community and supports several fraternities and sororities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:241" href="#fn:241">241</a> The university also sponsors a Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), which currently recognizes eight fraternities and seven sororities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:242" href="#fn:242">242</a> Greek organizations at UC San Diego do not have chapter houses.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:243" href="#fn:243">243</a>

On November 27, 2017, the university announced that its athletic programs have begun a six-year transition process from <a href="/facts/NCAA_Division_II/kGjoDgS7">NCAA Division II</a> to <a href="/facts/NCAA_Division_I/fJv6wUW1">Division I</a>, where it will be a member of the <a href="/facts/Big_West_Conference/gncMCKrN">Big West Conference</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:244" href="#fn:244">244</a> As of 2017 most of UC San Diego's 23 intercollegiate varsity athletic teams still participate in Division II, 12-member <a href="/facts/California_Collegiate_Athletic_Association/XxFlAH4D">California Collegiate Athletic Association</a>, and some compete independently. The water polo, fencing, and men's volleyball teams compete as part of Division I conferences.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:245" href="#fn:245">245</a> Before joining Division II in 2000, the school participated at the <a href="/facts/NCAA_Division_III/DEJFnGAJ">Division III</a> level.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:246" href="#fn:246">246</a> The teams compete at the university's <a href="/facts/RIMAC_(UC_San_Diego)/1QyvjLHn">RIMAC</a> facility, <a href="/facts/Triton_Ballpark/pFkoIqVu">Triton Ballpark</a>, and LionTree Arena. The University of California, San Diego, was ranked #1 among all NCAA D-II schools in the country and #40 overall (for all divisions), according to the <a href="/facts/Next_College_Student_Athlete/seNX3sju">Next College Student Athlete</a>'s 2018 NCSA Power Rankings.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:247" href="#fn:247">247</a> The NCSA Power Rankings recognize the best colleges and universities in the U.S. for student-athletes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:248" href="#fn:248">248</a> UC San Diego athletics also ranked #1 in men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's track and field, men's and women's tennis, men's golf, women's rowing, softball, and baseball, among all NCAA D-II schools. Additionally, UC San Diego ranked #1 in Men's Water Polo and Men's Volleyball among NCAA D-I schools.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:249" href="#fn:249">249</a>

In all, the Tritons have won a total of 30 national championships in golf, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball, and water polo.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:250" href="#fn:250">250</a> The 2006–07 season was marked as UC San Diego's best since moving to Division II, with 19 athletic programs qualifying for post-season competition, including 17 for the NCAA Championships. Eight of those teams finished with a top five national ranking.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:251" href="#fn:251">251</a>
Until 2007, UC San Diego was the only Division II school that did not offer athletic <a href="/facts/Scholarship/LnN7E0Ea">scholarships</a>. In 2005, the NCAA created a rule that made it mandatory for all D-II programs to award athletic grants. Consequently, a measure was proposed to begin offering $500 "grants-in-aid" to all 600 intercollegiate athletes in order to meet this requirement. A student <a href="/facts/Referendum/DaF49jCL">referendum</a> was passed in February 2007, authorizing a $329 annual student fee to fund a raise in coaches' salaries, hire more trainers, and provide all athletes with a $500 scholarship.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:252" href="#fn:252">252</a>
The athletic department considered a move to Division I in 2011. The student body would have needed to approve a doubling of student fees to allow the university to meet minimum scholarship requirements for D-I participation. However, students overwhelmingly rejected this measure in 2012, halting any efforts for a move to Division I at that time.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:253" href="#fn:253">253</a>
On May 24, 2016, students at UC San Diego passed the vote to move their athletics to NCAA Division I. The school's newspaper, The Guardian, reported that voter turnout was 35 percent of the undergraduate population, when the measure only needed 20 percent to pass.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:254" href="#fn:254">254</a>
The university offers 30 <a href="/facts/Sports_club/VHhC2HS1">sports club</a> teams, including <a href="/facts/Badminton/abkzqM3h">badminton</a>, <a href="/facts/Baseball/42bEQy1Y">baseball</a>, <a href="/facts/Cycle_sport/qXWXrkzx">cycling</a>, <a href="/facts/Dancesport/7Qoqu5L4">dancesport</a>, <a href="/facts/Ice_hockey/jY0ERSmw">ice hockey</a>, <a href="/facts/Lacrosse/Un6Tbhs8">lacrosse</a>, <a href="/facts/Rugby_football/za6wv6kW">rugby</a>, <a href="/facts/Sailing_(sport)/D7NlV9rB">sailing</a>, <a href="/facts/Association_football/yttjeD0D">soccer</a>, <a href="/facts/Snow_skiing/wvzTW0j8">snow skiing</a>, <a href="/facts/Tennis/GwVaWdn0">tennis</a>, <a href="/facts/Volleyball/28rBEwRd">volleyball</a>, <a href="/facts/Ultimate_(sport)/TdpF4gwD">ultimate</a>, <a href="/facts/Water_polo/BGRzQMt5">water polo</a>, and <a href="/facts/Waterskiing/TjPwkrrV">waterskiing</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:255" href="#fn:255">255</a> The UC San Diego <a href="/facts/Surfing/HfA0c4GS">surf</a> team has won the national championship six times and is consistently rated one of the best surfing programs in the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:256" href="#fn:256">256</a> UC San Diego does not have a football team. However, the university participated in intercollegiate football for one year during the 1968 season. The newly recruited Tritons lost all seven games that they played.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:257" href="#fn:257">257</a>
