Welcome
Congratulations and welcome to Stony Brook University!
You are about to embark on a journey that will prove to
be an exciting one, filled with opportunities for you to
grow and expand your knowledge and experience in the classroom
and beyond.
Right now you may have many questions and concerns
about starting college this upcoming semester, as all first-time
students do. You may be wondering specifically about your
Orientation, which you will be attending over the summer (or in
January). This Orientation will be your first real opportunity to experience
the University and your Undergraduate College. You will have
the opportunity to meet your fellow students, faculty, and staff, and
register for your first-semester classes.
There is much to know to help you prepare for all you will be
doing at Orientation, but don’t worry! This Registration Planning Guide
is packed with information to ensure that you get started on the right
track. We even set it up for you with easy-to-follow steps, so you know
what you need to do and when. When you complete all the steps in this
Guide you can rest assured that your Orientation and semester
scheduling process will go as smoothly as possible.
Please take the time now to begin reading through all the
information in this Registration Planning Guide. Make sure you
complete all the steps, including the Registration Planning Form
on pages 15 to 17.
On behalf of Stony Brook University, we welcome you and
look forward to working with you!
