As Buffalo State College continues to prioritize the safety of our students, faculty, and staff with operational modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the college will now offer all summer 2021 courses—across all three sessions—exclusively via remote instruction.
Students enrolled exclusively in online courses during summer 2021 will only be responsible for tuition, the College Fee, Technology Fee, Health Fee, and Activity Fee. For this summer only, you will not see the Athletics Fee or Transportation Fee assessed on your student account and therefore no waiver request needs to be submitted.
Please note, the tuition rate for a non-resident student will initially show as out-of-state tuition on your account. Once Student Accounts verifies that a student has met online tuition eligibility (typically after 100% liability date), the tuition rate will be adjusted to reflect appropriately.
Tuition and fees are charged at the per credit hour rate for all courses taken during summer session
Tuition (per credit hour) - $295.00
College fee (per credit hour) - $1.70
Activity fee (flat fee) - $5.00

For academic year 2021-2022, the non-resident exclusively online tuition rate will be charged to non-resident students taking courses in exclusively online programs that have been previously approved by the Provost’s Office and registered by the New York State Education Department in distance education format, consistent with the student’s intention to take courses exclusively online at the time of application and matriculation toward the degree.
Students who are non-residents, whose intent is to be on campus learning, but may be studying remotely will be charged the standard non-resident rate.
Non-residential (out-of-state) students enrolled in Buffalo State's online courses are eligible for online tuition rates if they meet the following criteria:
1. Must be enrolled in exclusively online programs that have been previously approved by the Provost’s Office and registered by the New York State Education Department in distance education format, consistent with the student’s intention to take courses exclusively online at the time of application and matriculation toward the degree.
2. Must not have had an address in New York State within the last fiscal year (July 1 - June 30)**
** Students' residency status at Buffalo State during the last fiscal year will be used to determine the residency requirement for online tuition rates.
