Free Application Frequently Asked Questions.
Does the fee waiver apply if I use the Common App?
Yes. You can get five free SUNY applications from Oct. 24 through Nov. 6 using either ApplySUNY (ApplySUNY Application) or the Common App (Apply to college with Common App | Your future starts here).
Do I need a special code?
No. As long as you submit an application for admission during the two-week free app period, here’s what going to happen:
- If using ApplySUNY: when you get to the payment page, it will show the first five campus application fees as waived (they are paid by SUNY).
- If using Common App: you will need to apply campus by campus. On each SUNY school’s member page, there will be a question that says, "It is free application week with The State University of New York through November 6th! Would you like SUNY to pay your application fee?" If you select "Yes", your fee will be waived for that SUNY school. You can do this for up to five SUNY schools.
No. The free application offer only applies to applications submitted between Oct. 24 and Nov. 6, 2022. SUNY will not refund application fees for applications submitted before or after those dates.
In addition to Free App Week, SUNY offers ongoing fee waivers that apply to 60 percent of all high school seniors in New York State. Students in foster care, with military connections, low-income students, and students at 500+ designated high schools can apply for up to seven SUNY campuses for free, saving up to $350 any time during the year. See if you qualify for a fee waiver.
In addition, campus financial aid officers are available to help students receive state, federal, and campus aid to help make college more affordable.
