WE WELCOME VISITING STUDENTS
Students attending other colleges and universities may enroll in Winter Session classes as non-matriculated students. We recommend that you check with your academic advisor at your home campus about the applicability of the courses you select for your degree program.
Steps to Enroll
1. Complete the Winter Session Application (undergraduates only). There is no fee required. If you enrolled at Stony Brook in a previous term (including summer or winter), do not complete this application. Call the Winter Session Office at (631) 632-6175.
2. Allow (3-5) business days for processing. You will be sent a Stony Brook ID Number and registration instructions.
3. Register for courses in the SOLAR System.
Maximum Credit Load
Students are permitted to enroll for a maximum of 4 credits for the winter term. There
are no exceptions to this policy. Petitions will not be accepted.

Important Registration Information

System. Informing the instructor or not attending the class will not cancel your registration
and does not cancel your financial obligation.
