Enrollment Procedures

All students enroll for their courses themselves through the SOLAR (Student On-Line Access to Records) System. SOLAR allows students to enroll in courses, place themselves onto waitlists for specific closed courses, confirm enrollment or course changes, and receive a complete schedule summary, which includes times and locations.

An overview of SOLAR, with step-by-step tutorials, can be found by visiting: http://it.cc.stonybrook.edu/get_help/solar_studenthelp.

Enrollment Period
The enrollment period begins in November for the Spring, and April for the summer and fall (exact dates will be posted on the HSC and Registrar websites). Prior to enrolling, you are required to log onto the SOLAR System and find your Enrollment Appointment. This appointment marks the first day and time that you are eligible to enroll. You can enroll after this time, but not before. You are strongly encouraged to enroll at your earliest available opportunity for best course selection.
