Family Notification

Hofstra University values families as essential partners in guiding our students on their journey toward becoming responsible global citizens. We recognize that students grow and mature when they reflect upon and assume responsibility for their actions and decisions. In accordance with Hofstra’s student-centered philosophy, the University strives to communicate and work with students directly while embracing our partnerships with families.

Hofstra’s Code of Community Standards (hofstra.edu/guidetopride) establishes expectations for student life, in and out of the classroom, and fosters skill-building in the following areas, among others: critical thinking; independent decision-making; sound judgment; introspection and self-reflection; and logical and ethical reasoning. By giving students autonomy to experience and practice these critical skills, families and the University foster an environment for student growth and development.
