Connecting to the internet using a wireless connection

Connect to an available ResNet network (eg. RESNET-PROTECTED or RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE). Read about the differences in ResNet's available networks. To connect to RESNET-PROTECTED, use your UCSD username and password as the network credentials. Some devices need more configuration options for RESNET-PROTECTED which can be found on the Configure Android, Chromebook, and some Linux Devices to connect to RESNET-PROTECTED webpage. To connect to RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE, use password ResnetConnect and accept the acceptable use policy. If no page loads, please navigate to httpforever.com.

• Devices that will be using RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE should be registered through the Device Portal to ensure they can access UCSD resources when connected. Information about registration can be found on the How to Connect Your Devices to the Internet webpage. 

If you are still having issues connecting to the network, please call ResNet at (858) 246-4357.

Connecting to the internet using a wired Ethernet cable 

Ethernet access is not available in residential areas. However, if you are a student with a disability and need access to Ethernet as an accommodation, please email the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) at osd@ucsd.edu to schedule an interactive process appointment. During this appointment, students will be able to share how access to Ethernet would mitigate a limitation imposed by a disabling condition. Additional documentation may be requested before the OSD makes a determination.

When ordering items or mail to be delivered to you:

• Use the official UC San Diego mailing address for Undergraduate students:
  
  • STUDENT NAME (as registered at UCSD)
    BOX NUMBER (assigned 5 digit mailbox)
    9450 GILMAN DR
    LA JOLLA CA 92092-0100

Parcels are delivered through Main Campus Mail. An email will be sent to your UCSD email address instructing you to pick up your letters/small packages in your PO Box in front of the ERC Res Life. Larger packages are sent to the ERC SAC located next to the laundry room. If your package is bigger than the size of a shoebox you can pick up your package at The Trove.

Mail Services reserves the right to refuse packages if more than 5 packages are received in the same day from a single vendor or if more than 10 packages are received in the same day from a single common carrier.

Amazon Lockers are a student favorite for receiving packages. Check out more information here.

• Ellie Amazon Locker is located outside the ERC SAC by the Pangea Parking Structure.

For forwarding procedures or mail information, please visit Mail Services on this page.

Cable TV

HDH provides cable TV but does not provide the cable wire and will need to be purchased by the resident. There are cable jacks in all apartments and res halls. If you are having problems with your cable, call the ITS Service Desk at (858) 246-4357.

Hint: If you view TV listings on the Internet, such as yahoo.com or excite.com, type in "92093" as your zip code, and then click on Telecom University of San Diego - yes, we realize that's a different school - it will display all of the correct listings for the UCSD Triton Cable channels.

SpectrumU App

Housing, Dining, and Hospitality partners with Spectrum Cable to provide the SpectrumU app for on-campus student residents. Watch live and on demand content from your computer or your favorite device. You can access a wide variety of content when connecting to SpectrumU from any location, but you will have access to even more when on campus and connected to the ResNet network. Read more about this service on our SpectrumU page.
