Billing and Registration

The SFS Suite works very closely with many other departments to ensure that any awarded financial aid is accurately reflected on a student’s account. All student account information is available online through the Hofstra portal, including schedules, student status, recent billing statements, and updated account information. Students are also encouraged to register for classes through the Hofstra portal at my.hofstra.edu. In the first year, students must meet with their advising dean or faculty advisor in order to register. Later in their academic careers, this is optional, but we strongly encourage all students to meet with their advisors prior to each semester’s registration to stay on track for graduation.

To support the University’s sustainability efforts, Hofstra uses electronic means as the primary source of communication and information relating to student accounts. Students must set up at least one authorized eBill user. An eBill authorization is different from FERPA authorization. Authorized eBill users can view the student’s electronic invoice to see the latest charges and balance due, establish a payment plan, and make electronic payments to the account. Visit hofstra.edu/sfshowto for instructions on how to add an authorized eBill user. 

Hofstra offers a variety of ways to pay your student’s invoice, including a first-year locked-in tuition and fee plan, and monthly payment plans. Visit hofstra.edu/paymentoptions for further information.
