Fall is upon us. And with it, we’re offering a variety of classes to expand your knowledge of the network programs that you use so frequently!

Please make sure you review each course description carefully; there

are some classes that have stipulations prior to registration

(some have prerequisites and others may require specific accounts to participate in the computer class). All of the PC classes are hands-on and held in the Dionne Lab located in room 216, McEwen Hall. Macintosh classes are held in room 215, McEwen Hall.

When you have selected the class you would like to attend, please register by either sending an email message to Training@Hofstra.edu or calling the Help Desk at 516-463-7777.
