Below is a brief list of people that you will most likely talk with at some point during your time at UCSD. This list is by no means exhaustive, as there are more administrative roles than these listed.
There is a hierarchy of contacts in case the grad student is running into difficulties. The Senior TA, Andy Parrish, is the first person one should talk to with teaching issues.
For academic issues, one should first go to their faculty advisor and then to the Graduate Vice Chair, Ron Evans, if the situation is still not resolved.
Pretty much all other issues, including advancing to candidacy, payroll issues, office issues, and admissions issues are handled by the Graduate Program Coordinators, Lois Stewart & Kimberly Eaton.
Here is the abridged department directory for reference.
