Upcoming EventsUCSD Extension Student Grant Vouchers 

This Monday, March 2nd is the start of voucher week for Extension’s Spring quarter classes. The voucher program allows full-time UCSD students to receive a voucher for up to $400 off an Extension course - essentially making it possible to take a language course at UCSD Extension for free! To obtain the voucher undergrads would go to UCSD Extension Student Services Building C which is located just south of ERC and west of TMC. Students must have their UCSD ID with them. Students can only get one voucher per quarter, but can get them each quarter they are available. Vouchers are first-come, first-served and always run out, so be sure to go early if you would like to get one for Spring!
