Community Standards

The Office of Community Standards is responsible for the development and oversight of Hofstra’s Code of Community Standards, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of all Hofstra students. Students are expected to take an active role in upholding the standards of behavior that make our community safe and inclusive for all. 

The Office of Community Standards works closely with Residence Life, Public Safety, and other departments to educate, encourage, and support better decision-making skills for students who have violated University policy. We strive to ensure that the conduct process respects both the rights of the individual and the community at large.

If a student violates the Community Standards, Hofstra University may take appropriate disciplinary action. A complete version of the Hofstra University Code of Community Standards is available in the Guide to Pride and can be found at hofstra.edu/guidetopride.
