Financial Aid Office

Our customer service desk is open in Moot Hall.  Due to limited staffing, we appreciate your patience if you encounter any extended wait times. 

To enter the building, you must be wearing a mask.  Please remember to keep at least 6ft of distance between you and any other person in the building at all times.

Our office hours remain Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, in-person scheduled appointments are not permitted at this time, but you can call the office to schedule a telephone appointment with an advisor during open hours of availability.

You can continue to reach an aid associate by calling 716-878-4902 or via email at finaid@buffalostate.edu. 

Please stay safe and well.
