The Office of Retention & Parent Outreach is committed to fostering the success of every Xavier student.

Efforts are made to reach-out to students who may be considered "at risk" for any reason.  Personal staff consultations, referrals to other on-campus resources, and guiding students to effectively navigate their college experience is central to our work for and on behalf of students.  Our goal is to improve the academic and social integration necessary to enhance the quality of the college experience for Xavier students.

We continue to assist students as they matriculate, from year to year, with programs that provide financial and academic support, social adjustment, and academic advising.  Our focus is to retain and graduate the maximum number of students from each class-year group.

In addition to reaching-out to students, we also reach-out to parents.  Developing strong partnerships with parents as they work with their students to overcome challenges, make important decisions, and plan for their future, is important to us.  We will answer questions and share as much informtion as possible, acknowledging that students over the age of 18 are adults.  Students are required to complete a FERPA (Family Educational and Rights to Privacy Act) release form should they wish parents to be able to discuss informtion considered to be part of their "educational record."

Simply put, the Office of Retention & Parent Outreach exists to help students become Xavier University graduates.
