Steps to Enroll

Log onto the SOLAR System, using your Stony Brook ID number and password. Click on "EOP/AIM Accept/Decline" and accept our offer by the date indicated on your letter of admission. If we do not receive your response by this date, you will lose your space in our class. EOP students are not required to pay tuition and housing deposits, or the Orientation fee.

Check Your Portal for Additional Steps

*All new EOP students are guaranteed housing. To offer as many students as possible the experience of our residential learning environment, strategies that include assigning three students to a double room and other options will be utilized.

A Note From Housing

*Apply for campus housing and select your meal plan in the Campus Housing Portal. You will receive an e-mail with specific dates and deadlines when the portal becomes available to incoming students in November for spring admits and May for fall admits.

If housing demand greatly exceeds available spaces, Campus Residences will first implement assigning three students to a double room to offer as many students as possible the experience of our residential learning environment and if needed, implement a radius policy to prioritize housing to students who live farther away first.

EOP/AIM Pre-Freshman Summer Academy

This five-week summer program of intense academics is an integral part of the EOP/AIM program at Stony Brook. All EOP/AIM students are expected to earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 during the summer program. The program provides a richly rewarding academic experience for participants. The courses of study are Mathematics, Africana Studies, Philosophy and Writing.

Some students enter the summer program with apprehension, perhaps because they would prefer to stay home and work. However, most students look back over the five weeks and realize the enormous academic and social benefits they received from the summer program experience. These benefits carry over into the academic year. Our research shows that summer program participants tend to perform better than non-participants.

The 2022 summer academy will run from:

Tuesday, July 5 - Tuesday, August 2

EOP welcome week will begin with freshman move-in on:

Sunday, August 14th - Sunday, August 21

Apply for campus housing and select your meal plan in the Campus Housing Portal. You will receive an e-mail with specific dates and deadlines when the portal becomes available to incoming students in November for spring admits and May for fall admits.

If housing demand greatly exceeds available spaces, Campus Residences will first implement assigning three students to a double room to offer as many students as possible the experience of our residential learning environment and if needed, implement a radius policy to prioritize housing to students who live farther away first.
Commuter students may sign up for meal plans by completing a Faculty Student Association form. Residential students sign up for meal plans in the Campus Housing Portal (do not use this form).
After your Advising Planning Form is submitted, you will receive additional information regarding your placement exams and which ones you are required to take. Learn more about the placement exams:
- Math Placement: Most students will need to take the math placement assessment and should do so as soon as possible in order to be enrolled for math or math-dependent science, engineering or computer science courses.
- Chemistry Placement: All incoming students who want to register to take general chemistry (CHE 129, 131, or 152) during their first semester at Stony Brook must participate in the Online Chemistry Placement & Preparation (OCPP) process. Students interested in fields related to science, engineering, and pre-health typically will need to take general chemistry. You must complete the required objectives of the OCPP process in order to make an appointment for registration in your courses. Incoming transfer students should follow the deadlines they receive through email communication from their advising office. In order to take the initial assessment and complete the appropriate objective(s), you will need to follow the OCPP process explained on the OCPP website.
- Writing Placement: Students who have not been directly placed into WRT 102 through SAT scores, ACT scores, AP exams, or transfer credit will need to complete the Online Writing Placement Diagnostic. To determine whether or not you need to complete the Online Writing Placement Diagnostic and review deadline information, visit the Writing Placement page.
- Foreign Language Placement: With the increasing globalization of culture, society, and the economy, every student in the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and the School of Communication and Journalism must demonstrate a certain level of foreign language proficiency to graduate from Stony Brook (LANG requirement). To satisfy the foreign language requirement, students must pass the second semester of an elementary foreign language course (numbered 101 or 112) with a letter grade of C or higher, or enroll in a foreign language course at the intermediate level or higher and earn a grade of C or better. Graduates from the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences students are exempt from this requirement.
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.
