ATTEND ORIENTATION
All new EOP/AIM students are required to attend Orientation. Orientation for EOP/AIM Freshmen will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Orientation for EOP/AIM Transfers will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 13, 2013.

FRESHMEN: ATTEND EOP/AIM PRE-FRESHMAN SUMMER PROGRAM
In the summer, before other freshmen arrive at Stony Brook, you will have the opportunity to get a head start by becoming familiar with the campus, and the chance to sharpen your intellectual and academic skills by experiencing the rigors of college-level courses. The EOP/AIM Pre-Freshman Summer Program will be take place at Stony Brook University from Sunday, July 7, through Friday, August 9, 2013. Participation is mandatory for all EOP/AIM Freshmen.

PAY HEALTH INSURANCE OR APPLY FOR A WAIVER
Stony Brook requires all full time students to have comprehensive health insurance, and provides a plan for purchase by those who do not currently have such a plan. If you already have health insurance, you must apply for a health insurance waiver or you will be automatically billed for SB's plan. Once you register for classes, a fee for health insurance will be posted on your account. Log on to SOLAR and look for insurance waivers under “Student Financial Services” on the menu bar.

EXPERIENCE STONY BROOK
Just a few days before the start of classes you will participate in Experience Stony Brook (part 2 of Orientation), where you will discover the vast resources and opportunities available to you as an SB student. You’ll attend various programs and workshops focused on your academic success, campus involvement, and health and wellness.
