Declarations

I declare that the information in my application is complete, factually correct, and honestly presented. I grant the appropriate school official(s) permission to release my transcript(s) to Hofstra University.

By signing below, I understand and agree to all of the following:

1) That high school students or students from other colleges attending classes at Hofstra University are considered visiting students and are responsible for University tuition, fees, and other applicable charges in effect at Hofstra for the session or semester of attendance. Payment for this registration is my responsibility, and, if payment is not received or deferred by the due date, I will be assessed late fees that are my responsibility.

Tuition and fee rates are available at hofstra.edu/tuition and tuition due dates at hofstra.edu/academiccalendar. If you are taking fewer than 12 credits in one semester at Hofstra, your tuition will be billed at the “part-time undergraduate, 199-level and below courses” rate. If you are taking 12-17 credits in one semester at Hofstra, your tuition will be billed at the “full-time tuition” rate. Please note there is no scholarship or financial aid available from Hofstra University for visiting undergraduate students. However, financial aid from your home institution may transfer to Hofstra University. You should consult with your home institution’s financial aid office.

2) That I am responsible for formally dropping or withdrawing from classes and that I will be held responsible in accordance with all University policies for tuition and fees as stated in the current online University Undergraduate Bulletin for my program of study, regardless of my class attendance.

3) That if I do not pay the full amount of my tuition, fees, and other amounts owed to Hofstra, I will be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the collection of such unpaid amounts, including the fees of any collections agency, which may be based on a percentage of the total balance due (up to a maximum of 45% of the total balance due), and reasonable attorney’s fees.

If a visiting student is under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian must sign below. Parent/guardian signature indicates that the parent/guardian understands and agrees to the above and takes responsibility for payment of all amounts due as stated above.

I waive my right to review or access letters and statements of recommendation written on my behalf.

Yes
