Delegated Access

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, please log in to your SOLAR account and follow these step by step instructions.  

  1. The student signs into SOLAR. They then go to “Share My Information” and then “Delegate Access To A New Contact”.
  2. The student clicks “I agree” to the FERPA terms & conditions page. 
  3. They then get to a new page called “Share My Information - Details”. They enter the contact name, relationship to contact, and contact’s email address. They check off the “Student Finance” Box. Then a SOLAR Message comes up confirming that the email was sent to the contact. 
  4. The delegator (student) and the delegate/proxy (contact) both receive an email from SOLAR_delegated_access@stonybrook.edu. The email to the student is called “Access to some of your SOLAR account has been shared with _______”. The email to the delegate / contact is called “Access to _______'s SOLAR account has been granted to you.”
  5. The contact is given instructions on how to create / establish their account. They click the (first) link in the email to begin registration. Their Delegated User ID is established. They then enter and confirm their new password. They also enter their email address and first and last name. They then click “Create Account”.
  6. After clicking “Create Account”, it will take the delegate/contact to a page called “Terms and conditions for accessing someone else’s data” on SOLAR. They must click “I accept the terms and conditions”. They then enter in the Delegated Access Security Key, which was included in the email sent to them. And they also enter the contact email address. They then click submit. 
  7. Afterwards, the entered information on this SOLAR page will go blank. The delegate needs to close that window. The delegate then needs to navigate to the Solar system at www.stonybrook.edu/solar (or click the SOLAR link in the delegate email), in order to log in with their new delegated user ID and established password.
