Submitting the Application

The State University of New York at Fredonia accepts both the SUNY Application and the Common Application. We encourage you to apply online at https://www.fredonia.edu/admissions-aid/apply.  The fee for applying is $50, but eligible students can submit a fee waiver based on financial need through their school counselor. As a transfer student from a SUNY community college who is graduating with an associate degree, you can have the application fee waived by talking to your advising office on your campus and completing the SUNY Application.   

Your application will be reviewed individually by our Admissions Committee.  A complete application for first year students consists of an application and  high school transcript; optional components include admissions essay, resume, letter(s) of recommendation, and optional standardized test scores (SAT or ACT for domestic students). Transfer students will need to submit their college transcript and proof of high school graduation, we encourage an essay and resume (not required).   Students can send in all supporting materials directly to the Office of Admissions, 606 Maytum Hall, 280 Central Avenue, Fredonia, N.Y. 14063. 

While we accept applications on a rolling basis, we recommend that you submit your application to Fredonia no later than 3 weeks prior to the start of the semester that you are entering. All application materials are to be received no later than 10 days prior to the start of the semester. Some of our majors require an audition or portfolio review before becoming fully accepted. Please adhere to those specific deadlines.
