Last week, UC San Diego received approval on two important initiatives at the spring meeting of the UC Board of Regents, the governing board of the University of California.

Recognizing that our current six colleges have exceeded their designed capacity, the Academic and Student Affairs Committee approved a motion to establish a new Seventh College at UC San Diego. As the last step in a series of necessary approvals, UC San Diego is now set to open Seventh College in the fall of 2020.
