October 24 through November 6 the SUNY system is allowing students to receive fee waivers for up to five SUNY campuses free of charge.
You can do so using either the Common Application or the SUNY application.
Using Common App: you need to apply campus by campus. On each SUNY campus’s member page, a question reads, “It is free application week with The State University of New York through November 6. Would you like SUNY to pay your application fee?” When you select “Yes,” your fee will be waived for that SUNY campus. You may select up to five SUNY schools.
Using ApplySUNY: when you get to the payment page, it will show the first five campus application fees as waived (as SUNY will pay them.)
This opportunity is available to students applying either as first time or as transfer students.

The Common Application has been updated for the 2022-23 application cycle. If you started your application before August 1, you will be asked if you would like to “rollover” your account. When you rollover your account, you will keep any information that has been entered into the Common Application and that is still applicable after the update. After August 1, all of the university-specific information and questions have been updated. You can now go into your “College List” and check out all the supplemental questions you will need to answer for each school you would like to apply to.
