Is anyone having a hard time logging into the hofstra portal? I was able to log on fine this morning, but now it says login.hofstra.edu refused to connect.

I just logged in fine. No issues.

Thanks for letting me know. Maybe they’re updating my sons portal.

My daughter’s portal says she’s in but it’s not really an official letter and no merit or financial aid info is listed. There are links to pay our deposit etc. Her friend received a packet in the mail with an official letter that included merit. We are hopeful that will come this week.

I saw the same thing. Son submitted EA1. Not sure why it was changed by college, and no word on deferment.

My D22 finally logged onto the portal and she is was accepted.

My daughters portal now officially says accepted, but no financial aid of merit award listed. She also hasn’t received an email.

Same

My son emailed the admissions officer so we will see what we get for a response. I will keep you posted.

Also, I was thinking, since we know merit awards will be in the packets they sent home, if a packet doesn’t arrive relatively soon, I think it’s fair for a student to call admissions to ask if they got a merit award and how much it is. You can tell if you got something from the 1 letter in the portal somewhere explaining the parameters of the award. At the top it congratulates, so you know 1 is coming.

So my D22 did call admissions over her lunch break at school today after texting me to find out that nothing came in the mail today from Hofstra. She said they told her to wait for her packet in the mail! The merit is definitely in there, and they like to keep that a surprise for the students! It’s sweet, but we’d all like to know!!

My son was accepted on Saturday - he found out by checking the portal - once he logged in, it said “Congrats! You’re in!” No email. Today in the mail (USPS) he received a letter regarding a merit scholarship. Portal doesn’t have all of the info. When he views his application status, it still says “submitted”. Good luck to everyone!
