International Student Enrollment

Serving more than 800 international students from more than 80 countries, International Student Enrollment provides a variety of programs and services to meet the unique needs of our international student population. The International Student Enrollment staff encourages international students to make the office one of their “homes away from home.”

The staff provides comprehensive immigration support, including producing the immigration documents needed to study in the United States, helping international students understand and maintain their lawful status, and aiding them with authorization paperwork for off-campus employment during their studies and post-graduation. The staff also offers a variety of transition programs and services to aid international students with their academic, social, and cultural adjustment. One such program is International Student Orientation, which provides new international students with information on immigration, academic requirements, required health insurance, and the numerous other services and resources available at Hofstra. New international students may also choose to sign up for a global mentor, who offers peer-to-peer support during their first semester at Hofstra.

We are excited to welcome students studying through INTO University Partnerships. INTO is an independent organization focused on expanding higher education opportunities for students worldwide. More information, including instructions on how to apply, is available at intostudy.com/hofstra. 

Parent and Family Programs in the Dean of Students Office welcomes parents and family members of international students to participate in International Parent and Family Orientation, held prior to the fall semester.
