Hofstra Policies

This website provides a centralized location for Hofstra University’s administrative policies.

A University policy is a University-wide requirement or guideline for members of the Hofstra community. These policies support the University’s mission, promote consistency and operational excellence, and help the University meet its legal and regulatory obligations. Policies are organized by the division responsible for issuing them and are also tagged by topic and scenario, making it easy to find the guidance you need.

• Policies marked with a lock icon are available only to Hofstra faculty, staff, and students after signing in with their Hofstra credentials.
• The version of a policy published on this website is the official and authoritative version. Printed or downloaded copies may become outdated, so always refer to this site for the most current version.

You can find policies in several ways by clicking the View Policies button:

• Browse by division: Use the Division filter to browse policies by the division that issued them (for example, Finance or Human Resources).
• Browse by category or scenario: Use the Category filter to browse policies by topic or task (for example, event planning).
• Search by keyword: Enter a keyword or phrase in the search bar to search policy titles and content.

This website contains non-academic policies that apply broadly across the University. It does not include:

• Hofstra University Bylaws
• Faculty Policy Series
• Collective bargaining agreements

New administrative policies and substantive revisions are developed and approved through the process outlined in the Policy on Administrative Policies, which is overseen by the Administrative Policy Committee.
