Housing Application Fee
All students applying to live on campus pay a non-refundable housing application fee of $125 at the time of application. For those who qualify, this housing application fee may be waived. The waiving of the housing application fee does not influence or impact any other fees a student must pay at the University. If interested, please request a fee waiver and the Residence Life team will review your request. Requests are not guaranteed and only granted in cases of extreme financial need.
Requesting an Accommodation
Student with a medical condition or a disability that would require an accommodation to their housing experience, including requesting to have an assistance or service animal with them on campus, should contact Student Accessibility Services. All requests for housing accommodations must be submitted with Student Accessibility Services by July 1. After July 1, we will make every effort to honor changes or new requests, but cannot guarantee them.
Students with a Felony Conviction
Buffalo State University and Residence Life values the safety and security of the residents living in the residence halls, while also providing opportunities for all students who wish to attend Buffalo State University. Effective spring 2018, no SUNY campuses may include a questions regarding criminal history on admissions applications. However, admitted students who are seeking campus housing; clinical, field experiences, or internships; and study abroad programs will be asked if they have been convicted of a felony as part of the application process for those programs/services.
Students who may have previously been convicted of a felony, must first be reviewed following the appropriate university processes before being permitted to live on campus. Students who have been convicted of a felony should proactively initiate the review of their ability to live on campus by contacting the Dean of Students Office.
