Residential Programs
& Off-Campus
ü
Clear
your fridge: Whether you live on- or
off-campus clear out your fridge if you will be gone for more than a week. You
don’t want to return to a moldy refrigerator, so dump any foods that will mold
or spoil (e.g. milk, cheese, fruit, bread).
ü
Unplug
your appliances: Make sure all electronic appliances (e.g. blow dryers, space
heaters) or electrical devices (e.g. chargers) are unplugged to avoid accidental
fires and to save on energy.
ü
Hold your
mail while you’re away: If you live
off campus and going away for more than a week it might be a good idea to hold
your mail. Simply go to: https://www.usps.com/manage/ and click
‘Hold Mail’ which will take you thru the steps to have your mail held for 3 -30
days. You can also conveniently drop by the Hofstra Postal Center located in
the lower level of the Student Center on Monday, Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. or Tuesday and Thursday 11 a.m.
-5p.m. (Note: window is closed everyday 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. for lunch).
ü
Know
where you’re parked: Remember where you park your car if you’re leaving
your car on campus or at your apartment over the break. Make sure your car is
in a parking zone where parking is permitted and/or designated for students to
avoid any unwantedtickets. On-campus residents can view here
designated student parking and procedures on Hofstra’s campus.
ü
Graduating
this semester? Congrats, you did it! Now, here’s how to check-out of your room:Graduating seniors who live on
campus must remove all of their belongings from their room since $35
will be charged for any items left behind. Clean your room thoroughly as a $50
charge will be issued for a ‘dirty room’. Also, have an RA check your room.
Last but not least, return your keys. You will be charged $25 for any unreturned
keys and improper checkout. For more info on check out times and procedures
