Changing your Personal (Home or Other) Email Address in SOLAR

All University communications are sent to the Campus email address, so be sure to check your stonybrook.edu email account regularly. If you have not been issued a campus address or your account has been disabled (e.g. you have graduated and left the campus), communications will be sent to the "Home" address first (if one has been entered), or "Other" automatically. The information below will show how to update your personal email address on record with University. Please keep all personal email addresses current throughout your time at Stony Brook.
