To access SOLAR, you'll need your Stony Brook University ID and SOLAR password.

Stony Brook University ID

A Stony Brook University ID number is required to log in.

Employees

Employees find their ID number on the Stony Brook University ID card they are issued at the time of their hiring.

Students

Prospective students are assigned a Stony Brook ID number when they apply to the University. When the Office of Admissions receives a completed student application, a Stony Brook ID number is sent to the applicant in a letter and an e-mail. Applicants who do not receive this number should check that they submitted a completed application before contacting the Undergraduate Admissions Office at (631) 632-6868 for further assistance.

Admitted students receive their Stony Brook ID number in their official letter of acceptance and during orientation. It also appears on their Stony Brook ID card which resident students receive when they check in to their residence hall for the first time and commuter students receive at Convocation.
