Admissions Home Page Transfer Admissions Processing and Acceptance Buffalo State participates in the SUNY common application program. You should complete the SUNY application form and send it to the Application Processing and Acceptance Center in Albany. Within two to three weeks it will be forwarded to our Admissions Office. In the meantime, send required transcripts of your grades directly to the Buffalo State Admissions Office. When we receive your application and transcript, the admissions staff will review them and make a decision.
Several majors have special entrance requirements.
Fine arts, for example, requires a portfolio review. If you are a transfer applicant with 30 or more credits, you must apply to a specific major. Acceptance is then granted into the college and the major. With fewer than 30 credits you may apply as an uncommitted student. If you have fewer than 15 college credits, you should also submit a copy of your high school transcript for review.
