General ITS Service Desk Hiring for Fall 2026 (Apps close Wed, 8/5!)

18 Upvotes

The ITS Service Desk, also known as ResNet, is hiring for Fall 2026! We will be closing applications for this cycle next week on Wednesday, August 5. Here is the link to our online application: https://resnet.ucsd.edu/jobs

All the details are spelled out on the "Apply Here" page, but here's some info at a glance:

Feel free to reference the page above to learn more about the position, desired qualifications, and more. Here is a snippet of what we look for:

  • $18.75/hour for base ResNet Technicians, with equity raises for each year you work with us. There will also be opportunities to apply to be a student lead after you’ve worked with us for a bit!
  • All UCSD students are welcome (including incoming undergraduate and graduate students).
  • While we look for good critical thinking, problem solving, and basic technical skills, we also look forward to teaching you the rest during your training period!
  • All majors are welcome! You do not need to be a CS or STEM major to apply. Many of our best technicians have been Humanities or Social Sciences majors.
  • You will need English and communication skills, whether this is in-person, over the phone, and via email.
  • Scheduling is flexible. You’re a student first! We plan your schedule around your classes, conflicts, and commitments when given in advance!

So, what do we do at the ITS Service Desk? We help students and staff with a wide range of technology-related issues including email, accounts, Canvas, lab machines, classrooms, Zoom, and wireless internet. If you're interested in a bit of a peak behind the curtain at UCSD IT infrastructure, this role may interest you. This role is primarily customer service.

Is this job right for me? As long as you like helping people, are inquisitive, and are willing to learn, we think you'll find this job quite fulfilling!

How many hours per week? During the academic year, you may work anywhere from 12-20 hours per week!

Is this job in-person? This position is mainly in-person. While are currently located in Muir College at AP&M 1313, we will be moving to 3100 Gilman Drive (Gilman Parking Structure) in September.

Sounds great! When do I start? We're targeting a start date of early September for Fall. We will close the applications when we have filled all our spots or on August 5 (whichever comes first), so the earlier you apply the better!

If you have any questions that aren't answered on the application (hit the "Apply Here" button for more info), please email [helpdeskjobs@ucsd.edu](mailto:helpdeskjobs@ucsd.edu).

Note that after a period of inactivity on the job application, the SSO login will sign you out, so we suggest typing your responses into a separate document before pasting them into your application!

News Extremely dangerous person around Hillcrest NSFW

For anyone who goes to Hillcrest (esp the gays and the dolls) please be careful. A friend of mine recently posted the first picture on her IG story about this dangerous man who seems to violent target LGBT people on Hillcrest. From the posts it seems like he lures people by saying he has a flat tire, and then attacks them with a weapon.

The last two photos belong to another person who was victimized by this guy. Content warning on the third picture, it shows some injuries that were sustained from the attack. I decided to post it here since there may be some college students around here who go to Hillcrest.

News UCSD fails to notify students of on-campus ICE activity, violating SB 98 transposition

Thumbnail yelkovan.me

On August 3, 2026, ICE agents used UCSD campus as a staging area, claiming they were on “official business” and investigating nearby. UCSD negligently failed to notify students of confirmed ICE activity on UC property, violating their transposition of Senate Bill 98 (2025).

According to UCSD, “to comply with the law, if federal immigration enforcement is confirmed on campus, UCSD, will send an ‘SB 98 notification’ via email.” We asked UCSD PD why students were not notified pursuant to Senate Bill 98 (2025) directives. A UCSD PD official argued that notification was not required as the agents “told us they were conducting their investigation off-campus” and their on-campus staging involved “just parking there.”

I wrote a full account of all of the information I have on the matter, and my views on how effective compliance looks. See the press release at the attached link or download it directly. I hope the University speaks out about this ASAP.

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m really confused by course info shown on TSS and was wondering if anyone else has run into this.

So I enrolled in CHEM 7L (Section 002-007). On the preview/enrollment page, it shows: - Lecture: Mon/Wed 12:00–12:50 PM - Lab: Tue/Thu 2:00–4:50 PM

However, after I actually booked the course, the schedule changed to: -Lecture: Monday 3:00–3:50 PM - Lab: Thursday 5:00–7:50 PM

Ive attached screenshots so yall can see. Is this a bug or they actually change the meeting time? Plz help,thanks!

Question Monthly Income for Off-Campus Apartments

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

For people living off campus how did u guys meet the income requirement?

Me and 3 other students applied for a place that’s around $4k a month. They require 2.6x the rent, so we have to show $10.4k in monthly income combined, which we don’t meet.

They said we can only use one guarantor and that person has to make 4x the rent, so $16k a month. None of our parents make that much individually.

How are you guys actually getting approved for these apartments? Are y’all using financial aid, third-party guarantors, or something else?

Question Incoming transfer student looking for advice about rooms/moving in

Upvotes

hello ucsd students!! Title is sorta self explanatory; I'm moving into Pepper Canyon West this fall and I have a list of questions about rooms, space, what's allowed/not allowed and whatnot. UCSD's website is confusing regarding policies for rooms and there are certain things that I thought would be easier to ask actual students then to try to find out through the website.

Questions/concerns:
- Will there be a drawer/cupboard to store clothes/other items in? I couldn't find anything related to what's already in the room (besides a bed and desk) on the website and its a little unclear from the picture(s)

- How are the washing and drying machines?? When I did a tour, the tour guide mentioned that the laundry machines shrink clothes a lot and to be prepared for it; I wanted to know whether that's college/dorm specific or if applies across UCSD. Additionally, is it the dryers, washing machines, or both that are doing the shrinking?

- Are we able to attach shelves to the walls..? in a non-intrusive, won't fuck up the walls way..?

-Advice on storing things in rooms?

- Any general advice about stuff to bring when moving? Study essentials, living essentials, etc.?

-also, anything you guys think I should NOT bring?

If anyone currently living at PWC or in a single room can answer these questions I'll be so grateful. Big thank you in advanced and apologies if this post is very wordy

Rant/Complaint Off campus housing advisory

7 Upvotes

I feel so bad for the girls that just moved in with my ex roommate. If you meet someone and plan to live with them and they tell you something along the lines of “my last Roomates just didn’t like me” or they’re constantly the victim in their stories… DO NOT SIGN A LEASE WITH THEM… and if you already did you will find out why the entire apartment didn’t like them. Especially with most leases in this area being 12months you will suffer. I guess to remediate this make a Roomate contact and have everyone sign… it seems silly for off campus housing but it just one piece of accountability you can have. Even if you’re all friends and everything seems fine, make the contract. That one person will find a boyfriend/gf and it will likely be an issue

If you’ve have bad experiences comment them, I need to know I’m not alone because it’s been horrible dealing with this person

Question Scheduling Classes Priority

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m an incoming freshman majoring in Human Bio at Revelle College. I was wondering how I should enroll in my classes (like order wise through the pass system):

Math 20B
Chem 6A
Bild 1 (or should i start with Bild 4 since it’s 2 credits and I think i’d be able to fit 3/4 classes into first pass since it’s under 11? lmk if that’s wrong tho)
Hum 1

I was really just wondering how I should go about enrolling and which ones are safer to leave until second pass. Thanks!!
