2022-2023 Student & Family Calendar & Guide
Campus Life at Stony Brook
The Stony Brook University campus is alive with activity and family members are welcome to join in the excitement. Be sure to check out the University Events calendar here. This website not only connects you to the fun events such as Homecoming, Staller Center performances, and Athletic events, but it keeps you connected to critical dates and deadlines via the Academic Calendar. Many of these dates on the Academic Calendar could have serious consequences for your student, including increased fees or missed deadlines.
Resources for College Parents and Family
There are a variety of non-university sources that assist parents and families in navigating the transition from high school to college, or from home to campus. Stony Brook University is also a member of College Parents of America, an organization that provides parents and family members with information and resources on the college experience.
There are a number of common challenges parents of high school seniors and college freshmen face. The Supportive Parent, Successful Student Guidebook helps prepare parents and their children for the high-school to college transition by taking an in depth look at timelines, financial aid, and common pitfalls to avoid.
