Apply For Financial Aid
At D'Youville, we're committed to ensuring our students graduate with a strong financial
future. We show that commitment through the high income potential of our graduates
and through connecting our students to both D'Youville scholarships and outside scholarships.
The first step in the process begins with the FAFSA.
Submit Your FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form that helps determine
your eligibility for financial aid. If you're a student, or parent of a student, you
can find full details on our FAFSA resources webpage. You'll receive a notification about your financial aid in your MyDYC account. If you have any questions, please reach out to one of our Financial Aid Counselors.
- Suggested Deadline: February 15 for fall admission, November 1 for spring admission
- D'Youville FAFSA code: 002712
Undergraduate New York Residents, Submit TAP
Residents the State of New York are eligible for the Tuition Assistance Program. After
filing the FAFSA, a pre-printed TAP application will be generated automatically. Full
details are available on the D'Youville Grants page.
- D'Youville TAP code: 0195
Review Your Financial Offer
Once we receive your financial forms, we'll review your information and explain your
financial aid benefits. You'll get a notification in your email and in your MyDYC
account. All D'Youville undergraduate students are considered for merit-based scholarships.
When you're enrolled at D'Youville, you'll also have access to ScholarshipUniverse,
an online tool that automatically matches you to internal, local, and national scholarships
throughout your time at the College.
If you have any questions, our Financial Aid Counselors are always happy to speak with you, or you can visit the Solutions Center located on the second floor of the Koessler Administration Building.
Complete and Submit Your Immunization Forms
New York State law requires proof of immunization for measles, mumps, rubella and
meningitis before registering for classes. To ensure nothing delays your enrollment,
you should:
- Have your physician complete the D'Youville health form (PDF)
- Return your form to the D'Youville Health Center as soon as possible through mail,
email, fax, or in person at:
- Marguerite Hall, First Floor
505 Prospect Avenue
Buffalo, N.Y. 14201

Submit Your Final Transcripts
Regardless if you're a first time freshman, transfer student, or graduate student,
we'll need official transcripts for our records. Any institution you've attended,
whether it is a high school or a previous college, will be able to submit official
transcripts to us. To submit transcripts, you'll contact the transcript issuer and
have them sent to our admissions office at:
D'Youville Admissions Office
320 Porter Ave
Buffalo, NY 14201
Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate Exams
If you're taking Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) exams,
you'll need to have official scores sent to D'Youville. For more information, view our AP/IB policies.
Transfer Student
If you're a transfer student who is currently enrolled at another college or university,
make sure to send your official college transcript(s) prior to final enrollment at
D'Youville. You'll also need to provide proof of high school graduation.
Meet Your Academic Advisor and Register for Classes
Our Student Success Center is a one-stop office dedicated to ensuring our students are successful at D'Youville.
Once they receive your acceptance information, they'll send an invitation to meet
with your academic advisor. As part of your Student Success team, your academic advisor
will help you select your classes, assist in transferring credits, and map out your
future at D'Youville. This typically happens in April or May for the fall semester,
and in November for the spring semester.
Secure Your Housing
National statistics show that students who live on campus perform better academically
and are more engaged on campus. At D'Youville, we encourage students to live on campus
and take advantage of our community and our location in Buffalo's West Side neighborhood.
Incoming Physician Assistant and Occupational Therapy Students
Studies show that students who live in residence halls acclimate more rapidly to the
collegiate environment and are more satisfied with their overall experience. For this
reason, we require incoming students in the Physician Assistant and Occupational Therapy
programs to on campus for the first two years of study.
Housing Deposit
To reserve on-campus housing, you need to submit a housing deposit and meet housing
requirements. You can submit the non-refundable $100 deposit online, by mail, or in
person. The Student Engagement Office will contact you with the housing forms, once
your housing deposit has been processed. The housing forms, including the application and roommate questionnaire are also available online,
beginning in April.
Submit Your Housing Deposit

to meet fellow students, get answers to your final questions, and learn about the
resources here dedicated to helping you succeed. You'll receive an invitation to attend
in your email, be sure to reserve your spot early.
