Step 1: Send your application | Step 2: Forward your transcripts | Step 3: Accepting your offer of admission

Send Your Application

Apply for admission as soon as you think about transferring to UB. It is best to file all application materials early in the semester preceding your intended transfer date. UB begins offering admission to transfer students in February for the fall semester and October for the spring semester.

When you apply, we will open a file in your name and keep you informed about the admissions process.

Apply Online

Applying online to UB is fast, easy, and secure. Just choose either The Common Application or the State University of New York (SUNY) application. A $40 non-refundable fee is required with each option.

The Common Application

The Common Application allows students to apply to any of the nearly 350 member colleges and universities using a single application. It includes supplemental application forms, a personal essay, and a teacher recommendation form.

The SUNY Application

The SUNY application allows students to apply to several SUNY institutions with one application. (U.S. only)

Once you complete the SUNY online application, you can check its status here: Application Status.

Note: If you would prefer to apply by mail, you can obtain a hard copy of the SUNY application by checking with the admissions office of your community college or SUNY college, or you may request one by calling us at 1-888-UB-ADMIT.

Once your application is complete, send it to:

• Application Services Center
