INTERNATIONAL UNDERGRADUATE Student Guide
It’s all within your reach. The job of your dreams, a career you love, and a life that is amazing, exciting and enriching on every level. First you need to find your edge. Your “edge” is who you are, and who you’re meant to be. The things you learn, and experiences you have. It’s what you do better than anyone else. At Hofstra University, we help you discover that edge, sharpen it, and use it to achieve your boldest ambitions.
Get inspired. Get involved. Get started.
Hofstra University offers unlimited opportunities! Since 1935, the University’s environment of intellectual and personal growth is enhanced by its suburban location, only 40 kilometers from New York City. Hofstra regularly hosts leading intellectuals, artists, opinion makers, and political leaders for special on-campus events. Students play principal roles in shaping their own degree programs.

One of Hofstra’s 21 accreditations is that of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Students are encouraged to participate in all campus activities. There are more than 170 student clubs and organizations from which to choose, and Hofstra’s recreational facilities, which include an indoor, Olympic-sized swimming pool and a Recreation Center complete with weight room and indoor track, are among the finest in the country.

Graduate Programs Hofstra University offers approximately 160 graduate program options in the Frank G. Zarb School of Business; School of Education, Health and Human Services; School of Communication; and Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Characterized by its broad intellectual reach, scholarly and scientific depth, dedicated faculty and state-of-the-art facilities, a Hofstra graduate education provides you with the foundation you need to reach your highest personal and professional aspirations. Hofstra University School of Law trains students not only to think like lawyers, but also to act like lawyers. That means teaching students doctrine and analysis, as well as the skills used to practice law in the real world. Hofstra was one of the first schools in the country to embrace clinical education, and it has built an enviable reputation as a school that trains real trial lawyers. Hofstra University School of Medicine in partnership with North ShoreLIJ Health System, which hopes to admit its first class in 2011, is currently pursuing preliminary accreditation with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and approval from the state of New York.

Warren Frisina, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Religion and Dean, Hofstra University Honors College
“It’s about the conversation. Honors College is an invitation into a conversation that reaches back to the beginnings of human history and extends to the very specific questions, problems, hopes and dreams students bring to our classrooms and offices.”
Ahmet Karagozoglu, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Finance
2009 Teacher of the Year, Frank G. Zarb School of Business
“As the academic director of the Zarb School’s Martin B. Greenberg Trading Room, I am very happy that Hofstra students receive hands-on experience with world-class resources such as the Bloomberg Professional terminals. I am excited to teach in the trading room, and our students are extremely motivated to take courses in this unique learning facility. The skills they learn in the trading room make them even more marketable in the ever-changing world of finance.”
Robert Leonard, Ph.D.
Professor of Linguistics and Chair, Department of Comparative Literature and Languages 2009 Teacher of the Year, Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
And respected. And they are dedicated, personally, to their students. To you. Our professors take pride in being highly accessible – during office hours and after hours – welcoming your questions and offering advice. To help you get the most out of every class. Another important way you’ll find your edge.
“A brilliant college president once told me, ‘Colleges and universities have qualities you can almost sum up in human personality terms.’ It’s true, I thought. Hofstra is forward-thinking and adaptable, intelligent, always wanting to do better and be better – exactly like so many of its students. And that is a great reason to teach here.”
Bruce Torff, Ed.D.
Professor of Curriculum and Teaching 2009 Teacher of the Year, School of Education, Health and Human Services
“For me, being a teacher is not about disseminating content knowledge. It’s about being someone special in students’ lives, helping them make decisions about the future. If you treat students with respect and run a class that’s fair and fun, you can make a course challenging.”
Mary Anne Trasciatti, Ph.D.
Associate Professor and Chair, Speech Communication, Rhetoric and Performance Studies 2009 Teacher of the Year, School of Communication
“I love teaching at Hofstra because the students are smart and very spirited. They’re not afraid to take risks, intellectually or personally, and that means I can take risks too. I can be very creative in the way I teach, which is really liberating and a lot of fun.”
What does an average class size of 22 mean to you? It means your professor will actually know who you are. Focused on you. Working with you. Inspiring you. At most universities, this is how only graduate students learn. At Hofstra, it’s like this for everyone.
At Hofstra
all classes are led by faculty, not teaching assistants.

Helpful Information Office of Multicultural & International Student Programs The Office of Multicultural & International Student Programs is concerned with all aspects of international student life at Hofstra – academic, social, cultural, legal, and financial. This office helps international students achieve their educational goals by providing assistance before their arrival on campus and throughout their academic careers. Information on U.S. immigration regulations is provided to all international students, and the office acts as a liaison between the United States and overseas governmental and educational organizations. Please visit hofstra.edu/MISPO for more information on the Office of Multicultural & International Student Programs.
English Language Program The English Language Program (ELP) provides intensive study for undergraduate students whose native language is not English. Its purpose is to bring non-English-speaking students to college-level proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing English. The English Language Program curriculum is designed to improve students’ oral and written use of the English language. Students are taught how to follow lectures, take notes in English, write clearly and effectively, and participate in guided discussions. Emphasis is placed upon the specialized vocabulary needed in fields such as mathematics, science, engineering, and business/economics. Students enrolled in ELP 25 and certain advanced-level courses in the English Language Program may earn up to 12 credits toward a Hofstra undergraduate degree.
English Language Placement The Admission Committee requires that all applicants whose native language is not English submit scores of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), Rosedale Road, Princeton, New Jersey, 08541, U.S.A. Please visit the TOEFL Web site at www.toefl.org or the ETS Web site at www.ets.org for information and test locations. The TOEFL is used to establish English language placement and not as an admission criterion. Undergraduate applicants who meet Hofstra’s required academic criteria are considered for admission. While Hofstra seeks applicants with scores of 550 or better on the TOEFL, 213 or better on the computerized TOEFL, and 80 or better on the Internet-based TOEFL, others with appropriate academic credentials are encouraged to apply. Once enrolled, international undergraduate students are required to take a written examination administered by Hofstra’s English Language Program and have an interview with an ELP staff member prior to course registration. Students are then advised to take appropriate courses. Note: An I-20 (certificate of eligibility) is issued to a student who has been accepted to an undergraduate degree program. An I-20 cannot be issued for the English Language Program alone.
Admission to Hofstra University Hofstra has a rolling admission policy. International students are considered for both September and January admission. Applicants are encouraged to apply by July 1 for admission in September, and December 1 for January admission. Prospective students should complete the online application available at hofstra.edu/apply. All other necessary documentation (including a completed “Financial Verification Form”) must be submitted to the Office of Admission. Please be certain to include every item that appears on the Application Checklist. Applicants for undergraduate admission should rank in the top half of their graduating classes and have achieved a “B” average or its equivalent. Students must provide Hofstra with all final transcripts so that any advanced standing credit can be determined. For example, advanced standing may be awarded for the I.B., the Abitur, “A” level examinations, and other upper-secondary school certificates. Note: All records must be accompanied by certified English translations.
Undergraduate Transfer Students Credit hours may be granted for study completed at other universities or colleges in the United States or other countries. However, a student must have achieved at least a 2.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale, or the equivalent, to be considered for admission. Credit granted depends upon the courses completed and the level of achievement at a recognized, accredited institution. Official records from the registrar or certifying officer of any previously attended institutions must be presented with your application.
Visa Arrangements The Office of Admission sends a letter of admission and information about enrolling at Hofstra to each candidate accepted for study. After the candidate has received the offer of admission and returned all the required financial documentation, a certificate of eligibility (I-20) is sent to the student. This form must be presented to the American consulate/embassy in the student’s home country in order to obtain an F-1 student visa. The I-20 cannot be issued unless all required documents are on file in Hofstra’s Office of Admission. The student must obtain the F-1 visa before leaving his or her home country. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not permit a student to change from a visitor’s visa to an F-1 visa once he or she arrives in the United States. Hofstra University is required by law to cooperate with the U.S. Department of Justice and USCIS regarding rules and regulations governing international students. After arriving on campus, all international students will meet with an international student adviser who counsels students on immigration regulations. All international students are required to attend the University on a full-time basis. Persons with student visas are expected to return to their home countries upon completion of their educational programs. A student visa is granted for the anticipated length of the degree program. Students may request permission from the USCIS to work in the United States for up to one year immediately after graduation.
Housing Living on campus offers the advantage of being close to classes and the many social activities that make Hofstra such an exciting place to live and study. Hofstra offers several living options, from high-rise towers with single, double, triple and quadruple occupancy rooms, to two-story coed houses featuring suite-style living. We are confident that one of these options is sure to meet your needs and likes. All residential facilities provide students with basic furniture; it is up to the individual to supply the “personal touches.” In addition, each room is equipped with satellite television access and is part of an on-campus communications system, which includes a phone system allowing unlimited on-campus calls as well as voice mail. All residence hall rooms have free high-speed Internet accessibility. Hofstra University has 12-month housing available for students who require housing during holiday periods and summer months. Each residence hall has washers and dryers, kitchenettes, lounges, and study spaces in common areas within the building. All buildings are staffed 24 hours a day by resident security representatives. Please visit hofstra.edu/reslife for more information.
Finances Hofstra University’s Undergraduate Bulletin outlines the latest figures for an academic year’s study and living expenses. The Bulletin can be found online at hofstra.edu/bulletin. Additional funds are required for summer months and holiday periods. A minimum of $4,000 is likely to be required for these periods. It is necessary that every international student coming to the United States be prepared to cover all possible financial needs for the entire period of study and for transportation to and from his/her home country. A student must complete a “Financial Verification Form” as part of the Hofstra application in order to certify the availability of sufficient funds. Students must show sufficient funds on deposit for at least one year of study, as well as the source from which the funds will be provided. A bank official must then certify the information given. Merit scholarships are available and may be included as part of the required financial support necessary. International students are able to earn a limited amount of money by working on campus. Students can work on campus 20 hours per week while classes are in session, and 40 hours per week while classes are not in session. The USCIS prohibits students from working off campus for the first nine months on an F-1 student visa. After nine months, students may apply for “practical training” and work off campus during summer and winter vacation periods.

Health and Accident Insurance All international students at Hofstra, resident and nonresident, are billed as part of their fees for health and accident insurance. The fee for international health and accident insurance is approximately 250 USD per semester. Medical care for students is provided at the on-campus Health and Wellness Center. Nurses are available at all times, and the University physician has daily office hours and is available for emergencies. In addition, Nassau University Medical Center and other hospitals are located nearby. If you wish to attempt to have the health and accident insurance fee waived, you must complete a waiver form (which can be picked up in 242 Mack Student Center, North Campus) and provide two copies of your full current insurance policy (in English). Both copies and the form must be submitted to 242 Mack Student Center by 5 p.m. on the Friday of the first week of classes. Late waiver forms cannot be accepted. If you have any questions regarding health insurance, please contact: Office of Multicultural & International Student Programs: E-mail: international@hofstra.edu Phone: (516) 463-6796
Orientation New international students are required to attend an orientation program, which is usually held the week before classes begin. During this time, students take the English Language Placement examination, meet with academic advisers and faculty to discuss curriculum, and register for classes. They also move into their residence halls, establish bank accounts, become familiar with Hofstra and the surrounding area, and meet other international and American students. Orientation is an exciting beginning to the student’s Hofstra experience.
Climate Hofstra University is located in Hempstead, New York, about 40 kilometers east of Manhattan. The climate of Long Island is affected by four seasonal changes. The temperature varies from a high of 32 degrees Celsius during July and August to a low of -2 degrees Celsius during January and February. Rainfall is intermittent throughout the year, and snowfalls typically occur between December and March. Students should have a wardrobe that will keep them comfortable in this climate. Clothing may be purchased upon arrival; note that the cost of a winter coat is at least 100 USD.
Transportation to Campus John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia International Airports are approximately 40 minutes away by car or airport limousine service, which is fairly inexpensive. Students should avoid using taxis from the airport to Hofstra, as they are very expensive. Upon arrival at the airport, students should inquire at the Ground Transportation Counter to arrange service that will bring them directly to campus. The Long Island Rail Road provides regular commuter service from Pennsylvania Station in New York City to the Hempstead Station, which is approximately 5 kilometers from campus.
