STUDENT ENROLLMENT, ENGAGEMENT, AND SUCCESS

ORIENTATION AND NEW STUDENT PROGRAMS

Where Your Hofstra Story Begins

Your Hofstra story starts with connections to classmates, your academic community, and the people here to support you.

For incoming first-year and transfer undergraduate students starting in the fall, Welcome Week is Hofstra’s New Student Orientation program. Held in person during the week before fall classes begin, it brings together academic preparation, campus traditions, small-group activities, and opportunities to make friends. Before arriving, you’ll complete important next steps and meet online with an adviser to plan and register for your courses.

Starting in the spring? Winter Orientation will help you get ready for your first semester.

Parents and families can also connect with resources and guidance through Parent and Family Orientation.
