If the SHORE offer is made to you prior to April 15th, you may accept the offer without a $100 deposit and without your decision on the UCSD offer of admission. This secures the housing opportunity and allows you to make a final decision on or before April 15th. You must complete and return the "SHORE Decision/Information Form" (ogsr.ucsd.edu/shore/form.htm) within seven (7) days of the SHORE offer. After April 15th a deposit will be required within seven(7) days to secure the housing offer.

If you have made your decision to attend UCSD, this housing offer can be finalized now by completing the "SHORE Decision/Information Form" (ogsr.ucsd.edu/shore/form.htm) and mailing the $100.00 deposit made payable to U.C. Regents to:

This option and all of UCSD's admissions procedures support the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) resolution printed below:

The University of California, San Diego subscribes to the fellowship resolution of the Council of Graduate Schools with respect to offers of graduate fellowships, assistantshipss or traineeshipss. Please read the following resolution carefully.

Council of Graduate Schools in the United States
Resolution Regarding Graduate Scholars, Fellows, Trainees and Assistants

Acceptance of an offer of financial aid (such as graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship or assistantship) for the next academic year by an actual or prospective graduate student completes an agreement that both student and graduate school expect to honor. In those instances in which the student accepts the offer before April 15 and subsequently desires to withdraw, the student may submit in writing a resignation of the appointment at any time through April 15. However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15 commits the student not to accept another offer without first obtaining a written release from the institution to which a commitment has been made. Similarly, an offer by an institution after April 15 is conditional on presentation by the student of the written release from any previously accepted offer. It is further agreed by the institutions and organizations subscribing to the above resolution that a copy of this Resolution should accompany every scholarship, fellowship, traineeship and assistantship offer.
