Broad-based fees for institutions within the State University of New York (SUNY) are generally charged to all enrolled students to finance discrete activities that benefit the student body—excluding those activities that are part of the core instructional program. Buffalo State's broad-based fees include:
- Athletics Fee, which supports intercollegiate athletic activities
- College Fee, which supports Buffalo State's operations
- Health Fee, which provides basic medical assistance to students via the Weigel Health Center
- Technology Fee, which provides enhancements to campus technology for students
- Transportation Fee, which funds Buffalo State's NFTA Metro Pass Program
Broad-based fees are intended to work in concert with SUNY's rational tuition plan, providing students and their families with information that will help them plan for college costs. SUNY's expectations for campuses include:
- Student consultation through open forums
- Annual increases are limited to covering mandatory costs, expansion of existing services, provision of new services, or upgrades to equipment.
- A rolling five-year plan for broad-based fees
Fee waivers are granted on a per-semester basis for Buffalo State students who meet one of these three conditions:
- Those who are enrolled in study-abroad
- Those who reside outside of Erie and Niagara counties and are enrolled exclusively in online courses that never meet on campus
- Those who reside outside of Erie and Niagara counties and are enrolled exclusively in other types of classes that never meet on campus
Summer session is deemed one semester for consideration of broad-based fee waivers.
