Acadeic qualificaios ad redeials

Admission to the freshman class is selective and is based on

student academic records and the number of spaces available.

Most accepted students have the equivalent of a B average or

higher. The SAT I, while not required, is recommended for freshman

applicants. This test information may help us reach an admission

decision and may play a role in the award of scholarships.Admission of transfer students is selective and is based on

previous university-level academic performance and the number of

spaces available. Students with less than one full academic year of

university-level study are required to submit their secondary school

transcripts and examination results.

glish Laguage Proficiecy

Proficiency may be demonstrated with TOEFL, IELTS, or the SAT I.

The minimum TOEFL score required is 550 paper-based or 79

Internet-based. The minimum for the IELTS is 6.5 with no

subsection score below 6.0; only the academic version of IELTS is

acceptable. The minimum for SAT I critical reading is 450. (The SAT

is not required for admission, but may be used to satisfy the

English language proficiency requirement.)

Applicants with TOEFL/IELTS scores below the minimum may be

considered for conditional admission.

The UB school code for TOEFL is 2925 (SUNY U at Buffalo).

Fiacial Suppor

International applicants must complete the enclosed International

Applicant Financial Form and document their ability to meet the

educational and personal expenses for each year of intended

study. UB cannot issue a Certificate of Visa Eligibility (Form I-20 or

DS-2019) until this requirement has been met.

Although students are permitted to work on campus during the

academic year, they should not expect employment to be a

significant means of support while attending UB. In addition,

federal and state financial assistance is not available to

international undergraduate students.

Visa foraio

Students who currently hold a U.S. visa must submit copies of their

visa and initial I-94 Arrival/Departure Card; and, if currently

holding an F-1 or J-1 visa, submit copies of all previous I-20s or

DS-2019s. Canadian citizens should indicate whether they will

commute from home to classes or establish residence in the

United States.

Applicants should not proceed to UB without an official university

letter of admission and appropriate visa documents issued by the

university. If the student cannot enroll in the semester indicated,

admission is forfeited. Admission and visa

documents are not transferable from one semester

to another without first submitting a written request

for reconsideration, noting the specific semester for

which entry is requested.

Adissio o major

An offer of admission to the University at Buffalo

does not imply admission to a specific major

program. In fact, many students are admitted to a

major only after completing required coursework at

UB. Please read carefully the information below

about procedures for your intended major.

Freshe

Freshmen applying to accounting, business

administration, computer science, engineering,

exercise science, nuclear medicine technology, or

occupational therapy will be notified about

admission to their program at the same time theyreceive the universitys admission decision. The

architecture program also admits freshmen; note

that SAT I scores are required for consideration.

The music, music theatre, theatre, and dance programs may also

admit freshmen following an audition. For all other programs,

freshmen receive general university admission and typically apply

to their major during the sophomore (second) year.

trasfer Sudes *

Arts and Sciences

Students with 60 or more transfer credits and minimum grades in

prerequisite courses may be admitted to Arts and Sciences majors,

with the exceptions of programs in the arts (media study, art,theatre and dance, and music), which require a portfolio or audition.

Engineering

Students will be notified about admission to engineering at the

same time they receive the universitys admission decision.

Architecture, Biomedical Sciences, Management,Nursing,

Pharmacy, Public Health and Health Professions

Admission to these professional programs is quite competitive.

Students will receive general university admission first; the

department will notify students of its decision several weeks later.

(Note that supplemental materials may be required; contact the

department for more information.)

*Students transferring from foreign universities may be required to provide detailed

information about transfer courses for admission consideration for their major.

The university offers moderately priced on-campus accommoda-

tions to undergraduate students. There are fifteen coeducational

residence halls and five apartment complexes that provide a wide

variety of living arrangements for more than 7,000 UB students.

All residence halls offer social activities and support programs,

along with such conveniences as food service, libraries, and fitness

game, and study rooms. In accordance with the New York State

Clean Indoor Air Act and University at Buffalo policy, the university

is a smoke-free campus; smoking is not permitted anywhere on

campus (inside or outside).

On-campus housing is assigned on a first-come-first-served basis.

Housing applications received by May 1 and December 1 will receive

priority. The housing application will be sent with the university

admission packet; housing applications can be submitted only after

university admission has been offered. For the fall semester, we

recommend that you apply to the university early (February 1 if

possible) so that you will have time to meet the May 1 housing

deadline. (It is very difficult to obtain on-campus

housing after May 1).

A wide variety of convenient and affordable off-campus housing

options are also available. Visit www.livingoffcampus.buffalo.edu

for more information.
