Hofstra Parent and Family Handbook

This Family Handbook provides valuable information about Hofstra’s offices and services, as well as transition issues that you and your student may face in the months before college and in the first weeks of the semester. Those issues, common to most first-year college students and their family members, are laid out in the “New Beginnings” section of this handbook. Our aim is to help you anticipate major conflicts and issues and thus alleviate some of the anxiety typical of this new and exciting period in your and your students’ lives.
