The admission process at SUNY Buffalo State University involves several steps. Prospective students must submit an online application through the SUNY Application or Common Application. Required materials include high school transcripts or GED scores, SAT/ACT scores (optional for some programs), and a personal essay. Transfer students need college transcripts and may require program-specific criteria.
After submission, applications are reviewed holistically, considering academic performance, extracurricular activities, and potential contributions to the campus community. Deadlines vary by semester, with rolling admissions for most programs. Applicants are notified via email, and accepted students must confirm enrollment by submitting a deposit.
