University at Buffalo: How do Buffalo’s published 2026–27 housing instructions link apartment eligibility to graduation cohort?
DIRECT ANSWER
High-school graduation cohort controls; eligibility is not a universal year-in-study rule. North and South Campus housing must remain distinguished. Checked 2026-10-17. The fall 2026 application is described as closed; a $300 deposit does not guarantee a named apartment or placement.
Buffalo’s 2026–27 instructions use high-school graduation cohort to distinguish apartment eligibility. June 2025 graduates have different options from June 2024-or-earlier graduates; June 2026 graduates are primarily hall eligible. The fall 2026 application was closed in the reviewed information.
Published guidance
University at Buffalo’s published 2026–27 instructions distinguish housing eligibility by high-school graduation cohort. June 2025 graduates may use Creekside Village apartments and Greiner. June 2024-or-earlier graduates may apply for apartment options including Flint, Hadley, South Lake and Flickinger. June 2026 graduates are primarily eligible for residence halls. Greiner should not be treated as proof that every option in the cohort list is an apartment.
Use the student’s actual graduation cohort and the relevant North or South Campus housing information, rather than substituting a general year-in-study rule. The information reviewed on October 17, 2026 described the fall 2026 application as closed. A $300 deposit does not guarantee a named apartment or placement. For another cycle, obtain that cycle’s instructions and confirm an actual offer before making housing commitments.
