Helpful Registration Hints

Enter your email address slowly and carefully.

If you misspell your email address or leave off the .com or .net, your email confirmation will not get to you.

Do not use your high school email address.

HS email accounts do not accept emails from outside addresses and your email confirmation will not get to you.

Make sure to select and save the class you wish to take.

The 3rd page of the registration form has a “course selection” tab and an “edit” button next to it. Click “edit” to see the ACE classes at your school and select and save one. The pay button will then appear.

Click “pay now” only ONCE.

If you receive an error message asking you to wait 5 minutes, check your email instead. If you do not see the payment confirmation after 15 minutes, then try to pay again. Multiple payments may be refunded but it can take several days.

Avoid delays.

To avoid processing delays, do not wait until the final days of the enrollment period to register. In past years, the large number of registrants trying to enter their information just prior to the final deadline caused technical problems that left them unable to enroll. If you do encounter technical difficulties, email us right away at ACE@stonybrook.edu and we will assist you the next business day.

Payments must be made online.

We cannot accept checks as payment for the $300 Program Fee. Please do not mail checks to our office.
