Housing Policy Changes
Students should be aware that University housing policies may change at any time at the University’s discretion and in accordance with applicable New York State and federal requirements and the recommendations of healthcare professionals. Students residing in campus housing may be required to comply with public health requirements, including those relating to testing, tracing, isolation/quarantine, and removal from residence halls. If the closing of all residence halls is necessary for health and safety reasons, students may be required to leave campus housing entirely. If appropriate, the University in its sole discretion may adjust housing charges in such situations. The health and safety of the Hofstra community will guide all decisions.
