Intersession Housing

The residence halls at Hofstra University remain open during the January intersession period between the fall and spring semesters. This option is offered to all students without charge, provided that the residential student is registered for housing during the upcoming spring semester. Students are surveyed in October regarding their intentions for spring housing. If your plans regarding spring occupancy change, you must notify the Office of Residence Life as soon as possible. Students who do not intend to return to Hofstra for the spring semester must vacate their rooms at the end of the fall semester. Students who reside in the residence halls during the intersession and subsequently decide not to live on campus for the spring semester will be charged a daily rate for the number of days they remain in University housing and a $1,500 cancellation fee if they remain registered students at the University. If you cancel housing after Saturday, December 20, 2025, and remain a registered student at the University, you will be held responsible for the costs associated with that room, until you officially check out of your room with a staff member. Checking out requires returning the keys and officially processing your Electronic Room Condition Report (ERCR) with a staff member.
