Parents of Accepted Students

Everything your student needs to get set up, registered and ready for the first day of class.

Congratulations! Your student has been accepted to Suffolk. Here's how to help them get set up, registered and ready for the first day of class.

Getting Started with Technology

Before classes begin, your student should create their Suffolk username and password, set up multi-factor authentication, and activate their Suffolk email, the college's official way to communicate. From the login portal, they'll reach Brightspace for coursework, MySCCC, and free Microsoft 365 apps. Need help? Call 631-451-HELP (4357) or visit sunysuffolk.edu/studenttech.

Advisement and Registration

New students meet with an advisor to choose their first-semester classes. These resources explain how placement, degree requirements and class schedules work.

Class Schedules

Financial Aid

Grants, scholarships and other aid can lower the cost of college even further. Apply early and watch your student's Suffolk email for updates.

Orientation

Just for families: While your student attends New Student Orientation, parents and supporters can attend a special workshop designed just for you.

Disability Services

Students who need accommodations should connect with Disability Services early, since documentation must be reviewed before accommodations begin.
