Classroom Assignments
During the final week of registration classroom assignments will be posted outside the Registrar's Office, second floor of the Administration Building. You may also access classroom assignments on the Web through the SOLAR System. Any changes in class meeting days, times can also be found in the SOLAR System.

Course Prerequisites and Permission
It is up to you to be certain you have met any and all prerequisites for a course before you enroll in it. An equivalent course prerequisite from another college university, is usually acceptable. If in doubt, contact the sponsoring department at Stony Brook. These are found on Department Contact.

Undergraduates Taking Graduate Courses
If you are a college junior or senior, you may enroll in graduate courses on a space-available basis in order to increase your knowledge in a particular area, or as part of a combined bachelor's/master's degree program. You must obtain written permission of the course instructor and the School of Professional Development (SPD) for courses beginning with the prefix CE or the Graduate School for all graduate courses. Use form SUSB 3065 which is available from the Graduate School or SPD.

Course Changes or Cancellations
It is a good idea to check the latest update before attending your first class, especially if you have enrolled early in the registration period. Updated information will be posted outside the Registrar's Office (second floor of the Administration Building), and the SPD Office (N201 Social and Behavioral Sciences Building).

Register Early!
Waiting to the last moment to register is the best way we know for a course to be cancelled. If we don't have enough registrants by the final week of registration we might have to cancel the course. Trying to register on the last day of registration won't resurrect it.
