If you are wanting to mail a 529 check to UC San Diego to pay your bill, please follow these instructions: 

1. Send a copy of your quarterly billing statement to your 529 administrator
   
   • The billing statement will include your quarterly tuition and registration fees, as well as any on-campus housing fees.
     
     
2. Ask your 529 administrator to mail a check to the Central Cashier’s Office.
   
   • Include the full name and the student ID number (PID) on the check.
   • Make the check payable to UC Regents.  
   • Send the check to the following mailing address:
     
     UCSD Cashier's Office 
     9500 Gilman Dr. MC 0009 
     La Jolla, CA 92093-0009
     
     
3. The Central Cashier’s Office will then process the prepaid educational savings plan (529 plan) payment and apply it to the student’s account.

A Few Reminders

---

• • Since the University does not accept overpayments, you cannot submit a payment for the entire year. You can only submit a payment for the amount due according to the billing statement. 
    
    
  • Mailed 529 payments must arrive by the due date to avoid late fees and other penalties (i.e. dropped from class), as the University does not accept postmarked dates as on-time. 
    
    
  • As an alternative, select the electronic 529 payment option in TritonPay to pay your bill instantly. Only available for certain financial institutions that are part of the Asensus Network ($10 service fee).
