What's New

Introducing a New
My.Hofstra.edu Portal

Beginning February 15, visit the My.Hofstra portal to experience its improved design and many new features. You'll immediately notice that the new interface makes it fast and simple to find just what you want. That's because everything is better organized under tabs specific to your role at the university as a faculty, employee, student, applicant or alumni. And the left navigation pane makes it easier to access content or features by category.

New features include our Classified Channel, Hofstra Bus GPS and a Google map of Hofstra. You can also create and customize your own tab and save your favorite portal page as a bookmark for quick access later.

Take a look at the role-based video tours conveniently located on the new login page.
