| What
is Open Registration? |
|
Any
student who did not participate in priority
registration is eligible to register during open registration.
Students are required to have an advisor's signature before their registration
can be processed. |
|
|
|
| What
is Formal Registration? |
|
Formal
registration precedes the start of classes and is a day when academic advisors
are present. This occurs in Alter Hall between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00
p.m. Students' eligibility (academically and financially) will be
checked, and students will be directed to the appropriate registration
activity. |
|
|
|
| How
do I change my schedule, after I have registered? |
|
Adding,
dropping, or changing sections can be done by completing a drop/add
form and turning it in at the Registrar's Office. An advisor's
signature is required on all drop/add forms, except for changes in class
time.
Classes can
also be dropped using the MyXU
portal during the schedule adjustment period.
If a course
is dropped during schedule adjustment (see University
Calendar for the particular term), the course does not appear on the
student's academic record.
Withdrawal from
a mathematics, physics, military science or Montessori education course
requires the instructor's signature as well as the advisor.
See the University
Calendar for the particular term for the last date to withdraw from
courses without failure. |

|
| Can
I register by phone or e-mail? |
|
Unfortunately,
we are not able to offer phone or e-mail registration. We are restricted
under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and therefore,
we require a secure method of identification to process a registration. |
|
|

CAPS students only): Include the following information: Name, SS#, address,
day phone number, class(es), alternate class(es) and signature. Please

| How
do I get signed up as a graduate student for the first time? What
if I am a non-degree student? |
|
If
you have never attended Xavier as a graduate student, or have not been
at Xavier as a graduate student in the past calendar year, you need to
apply for admission. For most programs, admission is done through
the Office of Graduate
Services, at 745-3360. Admission for the Master of Business Administration
(MBA) is through the MBA Office, at
745-3525, admission for the Master of Health Services Administration (MHSA)
program is through the MHSA Office,
at 745-3392, and admission for graduate programs in psychology is through
the Psychology Department,
at 745-3533.
If you would
like to be admitted as a non-degree seeking student, you will also need
to contact the Office of Graduate Services at 745-3360. Please be
advised that only 6 hours of work as a non-degree seeking student may be
applied toward a degree, although the number of courses which may be taken
as a non-degree student is limitless. |

|
|
| Can
I check my class schedule via the phone? |
|
The
Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, issued by the federal government,
restricts students from accessing their class schedule via the telephone.
Because only the student has access to his or her academic records, we
need proof that the person to whom we are releasing the class schedule
is indeed that student. Therefore, a student can obtain a copy of his or
her class schedule through a limited number of ways. The student
may come into our office with his or her All-Card and print one out, or
we also accept fax requests, with a signature, as official requests for
schedules to be sent out. Your schedule is always printed on
your bursar bill, sent out usually a month or so before the term begins,
so you can also obtain one that way.
You can now
check your schedule using
MyXU portal. |
|
|
|
| How
can I get into a course that is already full? |
|
Course
maximums are created by the chair of each department. Students wishing
to be added to a class that has reached its maximum may due so by permission
of that department chair. A form, entitled a "Closed Exception Form,"
will be filled out and signed by the department chair. Only with
this form and proper signature will the Office of the Registrar register
the student for the course. |
|
|
|
| When
is the last day I can register for a class? |
|
Registration for each term continues all the way up to the first day of the
class. Check our semester
schedules to verify
this specific date for the course in which you are interested. Please
be advised, however, that many courses close up prior to this date, and
therefore it is always wise to register as soon as possible. |
|
|
|
| Do
I need to officially drop out of a class, or can I just stop coming? |
|
Not
coming to a class does not constitute dropping the course. Students
who wish to withdraw from a course need to do so through the Office of
the Registrar prior to the withdraw date. Check the University Calendar
or can contact our office to find out this specific date for a particular
term. A student who fails to officially withdraw will receive a "VF,"
which will be factored into the student's GPA as a "0." A "VF" is
a Vanishing Failure, and is given to those students who fail to drop a
course through the Office of the Registrar, but stop attending the course.
This mark is equivalent to 0 quality points for the course, and will be
factored into the student's grade point average. |
