The safety and security of the Hofstra community and its 244-acre campus is the Department of Public Safety's highest priority. We form a powerful team with students, faculty, and staff to maintain a campus that is safe and conducive to learning. We encourage the Hofstra community to take advantage of the many services provided by Public Safety to help keep our community safe and to "step up" and report any suspicious activity to Public Safety for immediate response.

Know Your Rights
Hofstra is deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where all members of our diverse campus community can thrive. We recognize that individuals who are not U.S. citizens could face certain challenges, and we are dedicated to supporting them. We strive to create a campus where every student, faculty, and staff member feels valued, safe, and empowered.
