Also, check you spam filter setting.
I also found my D often skips most of the school e-mails as they are just way too many. Whenever I ask her if she receive an e-mail about something, she needs to do a search and found it on an unread message. 
OP, Iâm really sorry your D is in this position and thank you for taking the time to bring this to the attention of others.
True. But the folks informing them of scholarships, housing, flight schedules even job opportunities ARE old folks who communicate via email. :). And, these same folks also communicate via the antiquated system know as the phone - i.e. they use the phone to umâŠleave voice messages.
Itâs a no brainer to set up your smart phone to automatically download and ping you when emails arrive. No need to even make a special trip to a laptop or such.
DS university is notorious for shortage of available housing. Theyâve implemented a 2 - 2 (sounds like UCSD has the same system). If you do everything right and obtain campus housing for the first two years, you are guaranteed campus housing for the Junior and Senior year IF and only IF you meet very specific deadlines. Itâs a major topic among students starting middle of the Fall quarter.
How hard did your daughter look for info? The timeline is published online.

And I certainly agree with the E-Mail comments. If you want/need something you have to work within the guidelines specified. Colleges have moved from paper mail to E-Mail due to costs. Students need to realize thatâs how information is sent out.
I was a law school counselor from 2008-2013. It drove us bananas that students wouldnât read their email, then complain that we failed to inform them of deadlines. No, we are not texting you the instructions for on-campus interviewing. Heaven knows the employers wonât.
@Snowdog - The snapchat comment was a joke. I didnât put a smiley face, LOL or HAHAHAHA! But, it was a joke.
Wouldnât it be nice if our kids read their emails as carefully as some folks read CC posts? 
I donât understand the difficulty of reading emails, either; especially, when phones are glued to everyoneâs hands. Add your emails to your phone, customize the notification settings, and check them. Itâs simple and I dont see the need for schools to snapchat kids for them to receive information.
I use email daily for my organizations and classes. Itâs not going anywhere nor do I want it to.
And I liked my Selectric typewriter, @Niquii77 â but it has disappeared, like the dodo. And our parents probably said the same about our unwillingness to handwrite letters when we started using email.
Many businesses now text reminders and alerts â airlines, even my dentist. Iâm not defending students not reading their email, but I do think that colleges might need to move on with the times. Dâs college used a home page where critical tasks were called out on the dashboard. Relying on email when the students you email strongly prefer not to engage that way â not the smartest.
UCSD probably doesnât care â theyâve got more students who want housing than spaces. They can afford to be picky. Other businesses and institutions might instead need to consider whether it is more important to be right, or more important to have effective communication.
The roommates put their deposits down and did not mention it to her? Odd.
Unless Instagram/Snapchat/Twitter adds a text sharing function* to their app, email isnât going anywhere. Iâm not against social media in the slightest. I just think itâs a bit silly for people to push for information to be relayed from email to social media platforms that are greatly accessed through phones, when email is also accessible through a phone.
This is coming from a student whose school is extremely vocal about deadlines. Housing is very communicative on all social media platforms, but at the end of the day youâre going to get an email, not a DM on Instagram, about your housing deposit status. Check your email.

Mine didnât miss her housing for sophomore but she is going to be a junior. She is Regents at UCSD which guarantees housing for 4 years but as long as she is willing to live in a dorm and not apartment. She wants to live in apartment with her roommates. She also under estimated how popular the apartment on campus so we are in a look out for an apartment off campus. Itâs not a commuter school as everyone keeps refer to UCSD. From my research, there are lots apartment out there. Does your daughter have a roommate she wants to share with? Itâs much cheaper off campus. But Iâm not sure Iâm willing to pay for the apartment now. September is far way.
UCSD Regents guarantees 4 years of on campus housing, including on campus apartments. She doesnât have to live in the residence halls to get the 4 year guarantee. She can live in an on campus apartment with her friends and still have the guarantee. The guarantee is voided though, if she chooses to live off campus at any point.
It can be much cheaper to live off campus, though.
Somehow she picked Muir apartment and didnât get it, at least thatâs what I was told. She and her roommate both have a car so I think it will be ok in the end. Worst come worst she will live a bit farther. But I will ask her when she comes back. I donât want to stress her too much because finals are almost here.
Housing times are given by lottery, so itâs possible that she and her friend got really bad sign-up times. But even so, thereâs usually overflow housing available in other collegesâI did overflow housing when I was an undergrad student in Muir and lived in Warren instead. But if she didnât want to do overflow housing or if she had a really specific desire for which apartment or what room configuration, then itâs possible she might not find something open that she wants. I just hadnât heard of any students going through the whole room selection process and then choosing to live off campus. Everyone I knew who went through the room selection process, either got what they wanted or compromised (overflow housing, split up an apartment group among two apartments, chose a double instead of a single, etc). Either way, it has nothing to do with the Regents scholarship. Students are guaranteed on campus housing, but theyâre not guaranteed housing in a specific college/apartment/room/etc.
But living off campus really isnât that big of a deal either, if sheâs happy to do so. Most upperclassmen live off campus, and there are many apartments nearby to the school. Most students who live near the campus (i.e. close to the bus/shuttle routes) donât even drive to campus. They take the bus (very easy âcommuteâ) so that you donât have to pay for a parking pass or worry about finding a parking space. If she can find something affordable near a bus route, that can be a convenient option.
Iâm already paying for parking. She is a true Californian, she needs car.

My son got an on-campus apt. this year and he and his friends did have to compromise a bit by splitting their group. It is true that everyone is guaranteed 4 years of housing- not just regents. For next year my son and his friends are renting a house off campus for quite a bit less than any on-campus housing. The down side is most of the leases are year round. It is not an issue for us as he has a summer internship there and also has to be back at school 6 weeks before the fall quarter as a fall athlete. Students who are not staying may have a problem with the extra rent. Their house is 2 blocks from a bus line and several roommates have cars so it should be easy to get to campus.
Yeah, but if she lives off campus and takes the bus, then you wonât have to! 
Bus passes used to be free for UCSD students, but there was talk of that changing when I graduated so I donât know what the status is on that anymore.
Parking can be a real pain during popular hours (as Iâm sure your daughter knows). I know students who lived on campus that wouldnât move their cars during the day because they knew they wouldnât have a spot when they came back =D
This has changed quite a bit in recent years. When I first started at UCSD, it was a 2 year housing guarantee. Then while it was there, it changed to a 4 year housing guarantee. Now, it looks like with Fall 2015, theyâre back to a 2 year housing guarantee (http://hdh.ucsd.edu/LOC/faq.asp#guarantee).
Something, I know a lot of students do during the summer is sublease their apartments to other students. I lived on campus during the academic years, but I usually subleased from friends over the summers because it was cheaper.
Post #33, only the year that your son and my daughter entering class where housing was guarantee for 4 years. I think UCSD removes that guarantee the following year.
I did find a lot of apartments with bus near the gate.
Post #34, my daughter already took the car this month. She sweet talked me in letting her taking the car with her, I finally gave in. I think if she lives near an apartment with bus stop nearby itâs much more convenient.
Iâm still wondering when to sign up for apartment next year, her two roommates wonât have the money to pay all that up front, they are on financial aid, and my daughter has an internship nowhere near San Diego. How do other kids deal with this scenario.
Housing goes quickly and early. The longer you wait to get off-campus housing, the less choice there is. My son and his friends got their house for next year at the beginning of April for move-in July 1. I would at least start calling some apartment managers to get an idea of timeline. I think if you wait much longer, it may be hard to find anything, but I could be wrong as my son did not really look at apartments, only houses. Like baktrax said, I know that some kids do sublet out their apartments over the summer if they are not going to be there to save money.
I didnât realize they had dropped guaranteed housing back down to 2 years! We actually tried to talk our son into staying on campus the whole time but he was anxious to leave for next year. It is just so convenient to be right there for everything! Oh well- I remember being anxious to move off-campus when I was in college so canât really blame him.
