Next Steps

Steps to complete after those above. Starting in April, several days after completing the steps above, you’ll receive your NetID, which will serve as your single sign-on login for many University systems, including the campus housing portal and your SBU e-mail.

• Apply for Campus 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 Novemebr for spring admits and May for fall admits.

  On-campus living is a very popular option at Stony Brook. 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.
  

• Sign Up for a Meal Plan

  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).

• Accept Your Financial Aid Award

  Click on "Financial Aid" in SOLAR to accept/decline your awards online.

• Complete Your Health Forms

  1. The Immunization/Meningitis Form is due December 1 for spring and August 1 for fall.

  2. The Health Form must be submitted before the first day of classes.

  Copies of the immunization form or immunization history may be uploaded to the Student Health Patient Portal.

• Download Navigate Mobile App

  Navigate is a mobile advisor that gets you from registration to graduation. The app helps you choose the right major, navigate requirements from financial aid to course registration, and stay on top of important dates and deadlines—all in the palm of your hand. Download Navigate before your new student program for special tips and reminders.

• Contact Student Accessibility Support Center(optional)

  The Student Accessibility Support Center works collaboratively with students, faculty, and staff to create an inclusive educational environment for all students, including those with temporary or permanent mental health, chronic health, sensory ability, physical health/mobility, and cognitive disabilities.

  • Initially, you will meet with one of our Accessibility Support Counselors to discuss your needs, review your documentation, and together decide if educational, housing, and/or classroom accommodations are appropriate.
  • Each semester, you and your Accessibility Support Counselor will meet to renew accommodations.
  • If you have questions regarding a disability related matter, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Please note that all information and documentation is confidential.

• Purchase Health Insurance or Apply for 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.

• Access our Job Internship Database - Handshake

  Please do not request a Handshake account, one will be created for you ONE WEEK AFTER registering for classes. After your New Student Program, you will be able to access your Stony Brook Handshake profile by using your NetID and password. Handshake is the Career Center’s database of off- and on-campus jobs, internships, co-ops, and volunteer positions. Learn more about Handshake. Once you have access to Handshake, subscribe to one or more Career Communities (under the Career Center tab) to tailor your account by career interest.
