Student Financial Services

Each semester there is a Detailed and Per-Credit Rate Table available online that outlines tuition and fee billing rates.

Tuition and Fee Rates

Students can grant Delegated Access to their Student Account via their SOLAR home page.

Delegated Users Can:

• Access Invoices

• View: tuition and fee charges, past deposits/payments, disbursed financial aid, anticipated financial aid, waivers, and holds

• Make Payments

• Log In with their own ID and Password

To grant Delegated Access, your student will need to log in to their SOLAR account and follow these instructions.

1. Click on "Share My Information" on the top right of your SOLAR home page.

2. Click "Delegate Access To A New Contact".

3. Read the Terms and Conditions which allow the Bursar/Student Accounts office to discuss your Student Account with Delegated Users. If you wish to proceed, click "I Accept".

4. Enter your Delegated User's information and select the "Student Finance" option. Click "Save".

5. SOLAR will now send an e-mail to your Delegate, informing them that you have granted them access. The e-mail will provide instructions on how your contact can complete the process.

All Students, whether new, visiting, returning or continuing are responsible for reviewing, understanding, and abiding by the University's regulations, procedures, requirements, and deadlines as described in all official University publications. These publications include, but are not limited to: the Undergraduate Bulletin (and supplement), SPD Bulletin, Graduate Bulletin, Health Sciences Bulletin, Student Handbook and Academic Calendars.

• Registering for classes

• Knowing the classes they are registered for

• Paying billing statements by the stated due date

• Understanding and following the correct procedures to withdraw from classes.

Please be advised that when your student is paying for their Stony Brook Invoice, they should take the following steps to ensure they are not a victim of a payment scam:

1. NEVER give your SOLAR ID and Password to anyone else.

2. NEVER use an anonymous third party individual to pay your tuition for you.

3. NEVER use Credit Card or Bank Account information provided to you by someone else.

4. DON'T assume that someone can get a better currency exchange rate for you.

5. Make your payments via Flywire or directly to Stony Brook University.

6. Contact the Bursar's Office if you are unsure about how to safely make your payment.

The Bursar’s Office has partnered with Flywire to provide a streamlined way to make international payments that are both simple and cost-effective.
