Most types of aid are disbursed directly to the school on behalf of the student. All aid and payments are first applied to the student's billed charges. Only after all charges are paid will a student receive a refund, and according to the Federal and State aid disbursement schedule.
Broad based fees are generally charged to all students enrolled within SUNY (State University of New York) to finance discrete activities that benefit the student body — excluding those activities that are part of the core instructional program. These include Athletics Fee, College Fee, Health Fee, Technology Fee and Transportation Fee.
In certain cases, a student may qualify to have some fees waived. Fee waivers for transportation and athletics fees are granted on a per-semester basis for Buffalo State students who meet one of these three conditions:
Those who are enrolled in study-abroad.
Those who reside outside of Erie and Niagara counties AND are enrolled exclusively in on-line courses that never meet on campus.
Those who reside outside of Erie and Niagara counties and are participating exclusively in off-site internships, master’s project, student teaching curricula, or similar that never meet on campus.
If you believe you qualify for a waiver based on the criteria above, you must log in to Banner Self Service, then go to Student>Student Account. Click on "Broad-based Fee Waiver Requirements" and follow the instructions to apply for the waiver.
The student health fee is NOT health insurance. The health fee is charged to students, regardless of whether they hold the their own health insurance or enroll in the campus health insurance plan. The health fee provides basic medical assistance to all students at the Weigel Health Center and supports operation of the campus's counseling centers.
Continuing matriculated students must initially register for classes during their assigned registration period. Making changes to your schedule (dropping or adding courses) after the assigned registration period is permitted within the drop/add period without financial penalty. However, students who register for the first time after the first day of classes will be assessed a late registration fee of $40. Visit Failure to Pay & Penalties for more information.
Withdrawing from college does not remove financial obligation. Your date of withdrawal from the college through the Registrar's Office is used to determine tuition/liability decrease. Please visit our Refunds and Financial Liability page to view refund and liability schedule for the semester from which you withdrew. Withdrawing can also impact your financial aid eligibility, and may result in a balanced owed.
Students that are expecting a refund from their financial aid may be eligible to use up to $750 of the refund in the college bookstore. The textbook deferment can be used to purchase new or used textbooks or to rent textbooks. NOTE: There are deadlines for requesting a text book deferment each semester, and there is a two-business day delay from the time the student requests a deferment until they can use the line of credit in the bookstore. Students should plan accordingly.
You can apply for your text book deferment online or you may also apply in-person at the Student Accounts Office.
You can make both tuition and housing deposits online, payable by e-check or credit card (Visa or MasterCard are accepted).

Yes. Unpaid accounts are, in due course, turned over to an external collection agency. Students are responsible for paying the collections agency fee which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 22% of their delinquent account. Delinquent accounts may also be referred for collection to the New York State Office of the Attorney General. Please pay bills promptly to avoid penalties/late fees, additional costs and other financial consequences.
