How to Apply
I am a first-year student because I can answer "yes" to at least one of the following statements:
-
I plan to enter the SBU in the fall or spring after graduating from high school.
-
I have never received college credit since leaving high school, regardless of my age or whether I ever graduated. (Taking courses during the summer term immediately following high school graduation does not make you a transfer student.)
