Will your financial aid be the same at all colleges and universities?


A student’s financial need varies by school due to the difference in cost of attendance. The amount of need-based financial aid is determined by all the information you supply on the FAFSA and is specific to each student. Our financial aid professionals are available to help you and your family understand the financial aid process.

Information about transfer credits


All credits transferred into UB are considered as attempted credits and are used in calculating Satisfactory Academic Progress standards for federal financial aid eligibility and determining eligibility for state aid. Spring semester transfer students who have already completed the FAFSA for the current school year should update the FAFSA at studentaid.gov. Add “State University of New York at Buffalo” for the school name and UB’s federal school code: 002837. Log in as a returning user and follow the steps to add a school.


To make a school code change on your New York State grant or scholarship applications, log in to your HESC account through hesc.ny.gov/repay- your-loans/my-hesc-account-access. UB’s state school code is 1010. If you would like assistance, you can schedule a one-on-one appointment with a HESC Customer Communications representative at reservation.hesc. ny.gov/scholarships.
