The New to UB process will introduce you to life as a UB student and prepare you for a successful start.
Before beginning the New to UB process outlined below, we strongly recommend you submit a Housing Application and $300 deposit if you plan to live on campus this fall.
Priority for selecting your on-campus housing location/room is based on the date you submit your Housing Application, so it is best to submit right away.
New students are required to complete the New to UB process, detailed in the steps below.
All new students participate in New to UB to ensure a strong start at UB.
Starting in Fall 2025?
Follow the steps on this page beginning in April.
Starting in Spring 2026?
