Application Deadlines

All applications must be accompanied by a non-refundable application fee of $75. The application fee is assessed when an applicant submits her/his application online, and applicants may choose to pay online using a credit (MasterCard or Visa) or debit card, or may bring or send to the Graduate Studies Office a check or money order made out to Fredonia. Applicants may also call or come in to the Graduate Studies Office to make a credit (MasterCard or Visa) or debit card payment.

Completed applications must be submitted to the Graduate Studies Office as follows:

Summer/Fall Admission

The application deadline is April 1. ALL application materials must be received by this date to avoid a late fee. Applications will be accepted after April 1 and will incur an additional $25 late fee ($100 total). Late applications for fall admission to degree study will be accepted until August 10. Applications for non-degree study will be accepted until August 20. Applicants are advised to keep in mind that many department reviewers are off campus during the summer months; early application submission will facilitate a shorter waiting period.

J-Term/Spring Admission

The application deadline is November 1. ALL application materials must be received by this date to avoid a late fee.

Applicants are advised to keep in mind that many department reviewers are off campus during the semester break; early application submission will facilitate a shorter waiting period.

J-Term Only/Summer Only

Visiting graduate students and students wishing to participate in J-Term or Summer graduate course work for personal or professional development are welcome to complete the online application, which may be accessed from the Graduate Studies home page (http://www.fredonia.edu/gradstudies) or directly, by typing https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=sunyfr-g into the address bar of any web browser. Applications may be submitted in print format by downloading the appropriate documents from the Graduate Studies website or by calling the office at (716) 673-3808. Applications will be accepted through close of business Friday on the last week before classes start, and are not subject to a late fee. Recommendation letters for non-degree study are not required. Completion of a baccalaureate degree at an accredited four-year institution is required. Applicants will be contacted with registration instructions upon submission of the application.

At the discretion of the Graduate Studies Office and based on extenuating circumstances, a student whose application for degree study is incomplete may be offered non-matriculated admission until a final departmental admission decision has been reached. Non-degree students are permitted to take a maximum of 9 credit hours total and are not required to submit recommendation letters. Non-matriculated admission does not guarantee later acceptance into a degree program.
