Next Steps for Accepted Non-Degree (Non-Matriculated) Students
After receiving your acceptance, complete the following steps to finish enrolling in classes.
COVID Vaccination Requirement Suspended
As of 4/12/23 The State University of New York announced that a COVID-19 vaccine will no longer be mandated for students to attend SUNY’s 64 campuses, effective for summer courses, which coincides with the official end of the national public health emergency by President Biden’s administration.
To confirm your attendance, you must complete the offer of admission reply form in your application status portal.
- Within a few days of your acceptance, you will be able to view your person number and UBIT name in your application status portal. Your single use password and instructions for changing it will be emailed to you within a week.
- Watch an intro to UBIT here.
- Your UBIT name will allow you to log in to your UBMail, HUB, UBLearns, wireless campus networks, etc.
Your UB email is the official method of communication between you and the university. Be sure to check it regularly to receive important messages and updates.
If you have previously been affiliated with the University at Buffalo, your UBIT name and password remain the same and you will not receive a new password.
Forgot your UBIT name and/or password? Contact the UBIT Help Desk at 716-645-3542 or ubithelp@buffalo.edu.
In accordance with New York State Public Health Law, UB requires that all students submit a student health form.
If you are taking only online classes, you can request an exemption from the immunization requirement.
UB students will not be allowed to register for classes until they have fulfilled these requirements.
Previous UB students
If you have submitted your immunization records as a student previously, you will not need to resubmit them.
If you indicated on your application that you are a New York State resident, you will be required to upload three documents to verify your residency and obtain the in-state tuition rate. Upload documents to your application portal checklist as “NYS Residency Materials.”
All admitted students will be deemed an out-of-state resident for tuition billing purposes until sufficient documentation is provided to verify New York State residency in advance of class registration.
You can view the list of accepted documents on the Accepted Student Information page under the second section.
Before you are able to access your HUB account and other UBIT services, you must enroll in DUO two-step verification. Two-step verification is the new standard for account security on the Internet. It pairs something you know (your UBITName and password) with something you have (like a smartphone or a security key) to provide secure access to your UB services.

- May only register for a maximum of 6 credits in any given semester
