Stony Brook University student account questions

What happens if I have an unpaid balance at Stony Brook?

Any outstanding balance will block your registration — Stony Brook requires a zero balance to register for classes. Late fees of $50 per billing cycle (up to $200/semester cap) are assessed on unpaid accounts. Diplomas and official transcripts are withheld until all charges are paid in full. Delinquent balances may be referred to private collection agencies or the New York State Attorney General's Office. Contact Student Financial Services at 631-632-2455 or via the help portal at help.stonybrook.edu.

What holds can prevent me from registering at Stony Brook?

Registration holds include: financial holds (any unpaid balance — zero balance required to register), Financial Responsibility Statement hold (must be signed before enrollment), academic standing holds (low GPA), and COVID vaccination compliance holds (for in-person students). Log into SOLAR and check the Action Center on your home page — clicking any hold shows what it is and how to resolve it. For financial holds, contact Student Financial Services (631-632-2455). For advising or academic standing holds, contact ATAS (advising@stonybrook.edu or 631-632-7082 opt 3).
