Welcome Incoming Transfer Students!

We are Academic and Transfer Advising Services (ATAS) - your general academic advising team. We designed this New Transfer Student website to explain and guide your next steps as a transfer student. Below is the New Transfer Student timeline so you know what to expect from us and when. Then, for more specific information, use the menu bar on the left to access information about registration information sessions, submitting college and test transcripts, taking placement exams, and meeting with an adviser.

In addition to using this website, please be sure to frequently check your Matriculated Checklist in your portal and your email.

Welcome to Stony Brook! We are excited you are here!
