What's New

NEW LOOK FOR HOFSTRA ONLINE

The new semester brings a new look to the Hofstra Online Information System. Did you notice that everything is delivered on the right leaving the left navigation pane open? You can easily minimize the left pane by clicking the arrow icon to maximize your Hofstra Online experience.

New menus make it easier to find what your need. Breadcrumbs at the top of each page facilitate navigation to other features.

Additionally, a new PRINT icon has been added on the top right of each page for your convenience.

CLASS STANDING CHANGES

How can I adjust the size of my PRINT experience on Hofstra Online? Always use the PRINT link on the right side of the Hofstra Online Page Heading, NOT the browser print feature. Making the Text Font size larger in your browser will increase the size of the printed text. Keeping the CONTROL key pressed, click on the "+" key to increase the font size and "-" key to decrease the font size. Some web pages have long lines of text and print more clearly using Landscape orientation. Go to your Page Layout option under the File menu of your browser, to adjust the orientation of the print. In most cases the browser 'Shrink to Fit' feature found in the Page Layout, should be ON. An exception to this is when you are printing your W2 when the 'Shrink to Fit' feature should be OFF.

What is Active Directory? Active directory is a technology that stores and administers directory information and settings in a central database. Provided by Microsoft this product will be used to administer the directory of Hofstra personnel with access to network and web resources, provide information security, assign policies, deploy software, and apply critical updates.
