Waiver of Broad-Based Fees for Exclusively Online Students

In order to be eligible for a waiver of broad-based fees, a student must be enrolled exclusively in online courses. Those enrolled in remote instruction classes are not eligible for a fee waiver. Fees subject to waiver are the athletics and transportation fees. Fee waivers are not automatic. When a student is enrolled in both on-campus and off-campus or distance learning courses, the fees apply to all courses for which the student is registered. Broad-based fee waivers are granted on a per-semester basis for Buffalo State students who meet one of the following three conditions:

1. Students who are enrolled in study-abroad programs.
2. Students who reside outside of Erie and Niagara counties and are enrolled exclusively in online courses.
3. Students who reside outside of Erie and Niagara counties and are participating exclusively in off-site internships, master’s project, student teaching curricula, or similar that never meet on campus.

Summer session is deemed one semester for consideration of broad-based fee waivers. Fee waivers are not automatic. Students seeking fee waivers must apply for them. Information is provided on the Finance and Management website.
