Congratulations on your acceptance to the University at Buffalo! Follow these steps to officially become a UB student.
Accepted students may apply for on-campus housing by submitting a housing application, including the $300 housing deposit. Please visit the Campus Living website for important next steps and deadline information.
Before we issue your I-20, your admissions counselor will do a final review of all your documents. If we are missing anything, we will contact you via email to let you know what we need.
Once you’ve paid your tuition deposit and uploaded all the required documents, we will create your I-20 (F-1 Visa) or DS-2019 (J-1 Visa). Once issued, you can find the document in your Applicant Status Portal.
To register for orientation, you must complete the Orientation Data Form. The Office of Orientation, Transition and Parent Programs will notify you when the Orientation Data Form becomes available.
Now is the time to get your visa, arrange transportation to the U.S. and determine what you will need while living in Buffalo. We can’t wait to welcome you to our university community!
Once you have made your enrollment/tuition and housing deposits, it’s time to begin your New International Student Check-in. Activate your UB student account and get started on check-in.
To meet reporting requirements and be able to register for classes, complete your check-in early.
GloBulls are current international students who want to connect with you and offer guidance for any questions about UB.
Meet your classmates and get answers to your questions.
