JANUARY ADMITS

Congratulations on your decision to attend Stony Brook University. As a student entering the University in January, much of the information under the “First-Year Student” and “Transfer Student” pages of the Orientation web site is applicable to you. There are some unique differences, however, that are important for you to know.

1. Part I is known as “January Orientation” (not “summer orientation”).
2. Part II includes “Chill Fest,” as well as “Experience Stony Brook”. Chill Fest and Experience Stony Brook occur during the three days prior to the start of spring semester classes.
3. All orientations that occur during the month of January are half-day sessions. This includes orientations for both first-year student and transfer students.
4. There is no Parent/Family program available during January orientation sessions.
5. There is no walking campus or residential quad tour available during January orientation.
6. All first-year student orientations will occur on the same day, regardless of Undergraduate College. January orientation sessions are not divided by Undergraduate College for first-year students.
