This wonderful achievement is just the first of many you will enjoy when you become part of our great community.  Now, take the first steps to reserve your place in our incoming EOP/AIM class:

Secure Your Place

Log on to Stony Brook’s SOLAR System with your Stony Brook ID number and password, printed on your enclosed letter of admission to Accept or Decline Our Offer:

Your acceptance of our offer of admission must be submitted in the SOLAR System by May 15. To secure your place in our incoming class, click on EOP/AIM Accept or Decline.

You are not required to pay tuition and housing deposits or the Orientation fee.

If you decide not to accept our offer, please let us know using the Decline option so we can offer your seat to another deserving student.

Complete your Required Health and Immunization Forms  

Health and Immunization Forms must be submitted before EOP/AIM students can attend the mandatory Summer Academy Program. Submit all immunization records to the Wolfie Health Portal immediately to prepare for the Summer Academy. 

Students that do not submit the Health and Immunization Forms prior to the Summer Academy will not be permitted to move-in. Failure to attend the Summer Academy will result in your acceptance into the EOP/AIM program and Stony Brook University to be revoked. 

Registering for Fall Classes & Support Services

• All EOP students who accept their offer of EOP/AIM admissions in SOLAR, and complete all other checklist items (including housing, immunization, placement exams, and other forms) in the "Registration and Advisement Checklist" in their Start SBU portal by June 1, will be invited to our own EOP/AIM Orientation.
• All incoming EOP/AIM students will be registered by their assigned EOP Counselor/Advisor for between 14-17 credits based on university requirements, intended major and/or areas of interest that students indicated on the Advising Planing Form and EOP First-Year Matriculated Student Questionnaire.
• Students that have special academic accommodations, health/medical concerns or receive other services can indicate it on the questionnaire. To ensure services can be provided during the Summer Academy and Fall semester, students must complete the questionnaire by June 1 and are encouraged to register for services through the Student Accessiblity Support Center as soon as possible.
• Invitations for EOP Orientation will be sent by email in early June ahead of the Summer Academy which will be held:  virtual meeting on July 5th; on campus program from July 6 to August 2 as well as programming in Welcome Week from August 19 to August 23.

Resolve your Holds

All holds are located on your SOLAR To Do List and must be resolved prior to the Summer Academy except for the “Academic Advising” hold. This notification will be removed by your EOP/AIM counselor before the Fall semester. 

Submit your Campus ID Photo

An email will be sent with instructions on how to upload your photo. During the summer program move-in, students will receive their campus id.

Summer Academy Housing Move In Information

• All students must attend the mandatory Summer Academy Program and live on campus during the scheduled dates. Failure to attend the full summer program will result in your acceptance into the EOP/AIM program and Stony Brook University to be revoked. Students that plan to commute during the fall semester must also live on campus during the summer program.
• To select your move in time, please complete the EOP Summer Academy Move In Survey by June 21. Students that do not complete the form by the deadline will be provided a move in time based on space availability.

This four week summer program of intense academics is an integral part of the EOP/AIM program at Stony Brook. All EOP/AIM students are expected to earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 during the summer program. The program provides a richly rewarding academic experience for participants. The courses of study are Mathematics, Africana Studies, Philosophy and Writing.

Some students enter the summer program with apprehension, perhaps because they would prefer to stay home and work. However, most students look back over the five weeks and realize the enormous academic and social benefits they received from the summer program experience. These benefits carry over into the academic year. Our research shows that summer program participants tend to perform better than non-participants.
