Welcome to the Center for University Advisement!

Hofstra views academic advisement as a partnership, where students and advisors discuss academic interests, set goals, and monitor the accomplishment of such goals.  Students and deans have a shared responsibility in making their partnership a success.  All undergraduate students are assigned a dean in University Advisement to serve as their general academic advisor from admission to graduation. 
Advisement deans can help students with:

• Academic program planning
• Exploration and discussion of majors
• Interpretation of Hofstra's academic policies and procedures
• Degree progress (how to read your Degree Audit Report - the DARS)
• Applicability of transfer credits
• Campus resources

Once students declare a major they will be assigned to a faculty advisor within their academic department, and should contact their faculty advisor for major-related advisement concerns.  Throughout their journey at Hofstra, students can rely on both their deans in University Advisement and their faculty advisors to provide support for their academic endeavors.
