All students may enroll in 9 credits maximum per session for a total of 18 in all summer sessions.

You will need this number to register and pay for classes, review and print your class schedule, view your grade(s) and request a transcript be sent to another institution on the SOLAR System.

If you have forgotten your ID number you must come in person to the Registrar's office and provide us with a photo ID for proof of your identity. If you have forgotten your password for the SOLAR System, you can request a new one.

Use the SOLAR System, where you can search for classes, locations of classes and course descriptions. You do not need a Stony Brook ID number, just use the Public Access links on the SOLAR homepage and choose class search or course catalog.
