Paying your SBU Bill


Student billing is generated in SOLAR. International Students can pay their SBU bill using Flywire.

Student's can use Time Option Payment Plan (TOPP) for their Tuition and Fee's to make payments in incremets. Use the "What Do I Owe" tab in SOLAR and confirm with paymentplans@stonybrook.edu that you would like to enroll. Payment plan arrangements need to be renewed each semester.

Graduate Housing is billed separately based on the terms of their individual contract. That payment is not TOPP eligible.
