SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO HOFSTRA ALUMNI

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY CUSTOM LICENSE PLATES Here’s the perfect opportunity to take your Hofstra Pride for a Ride! Whether you are a Hofstra alumnus/a, student, parent, employee, fan or friend, you can show your Hofstra Pride by ordering and displaying your New York State Hofstra University custom license plates. The plates, available only to cars registered in the State of New York, feature the Hofstra storm flag design and the “Hofstra University” tagline along the bottom. It’s easy to place an order! You may apply for these plates at any NYS DMV issuing office, on the Internet at www.nysdmv.com or by calling 1-800-364-PLATES. If your registration expires in 60 days or less, you must renew your registration before you can order these plates. Standard Hofstra University Plates are for passenger vehicles and are a combination of three numerals and EDU (100EDU to 999EDU issued consecutively by NYS DMV until sequence
runs out). Commercial vehicles will have four numerals and two letters and will have the word “Commercial” in place of the “Hofstra University” tagline at the bottom. The initial cost is $34.50 with an annual renewal fee* of only $25. Personalized Hofstra University Plates are a combination of your choice of up to six characters (letters, numbers and blanks) to the right of the Hofstra storm flag. The initial cost is $63 with an annual renewal fee* of $50. * Annual renewal fees are in addition to regular registration fees, which are billed every two years at the time of renewal.
