Starting Monday, March 23, the Xavier Mail Center will be operating on a reduced schedule until further notice. The new hours will be Mondays and Thursdays only, from 8:30 am-5:00 pm. Please keep in mind in following the temporary campus access control guidelines in place, our building will be locked, and you will need to swipe your ALL Card to enter.

Xavier will issue credits for unused campus housing and unused meal plans (room and board) resulting from the disruption of the spring semester. Xavier will not be offering credits for tuition or other fees.

  • Campus housing credit: Students who lived in campus housing will receive a prorated credit based on a closure date of March 23; the credit reflects the unused portion of housing charges for the remainder of the spring semester.
  • Meal plan credits: Students with a meal plan will receive a prorated credit of unused meals. Credits will vary by student based upon each students’ meal plan and unused meals. Unused retail dining dollar balances will be rolled forward for use during the 2020-2021 academic year. View full details on the campus housing and meal plan credit webpage.

 These room and board credits will appear on the student’s monthly eBill published on Wednesday, April 15. Students are encouraged to review their eBill after that date. Credits will first be applied toward existing balances. If your account has a negative (credit) balance, you will have three options:

  1. Apply the credit to reduce the amount you will owe in a future semester;
  2. Receive a refund (issued in accordance with the student’s selected BankMobile Refund Preference); or
  3. Donate all or part of the credit to Xavier University.

Details of the campus housing and meal plan refund process, including information on Title IV authorizations and direct deposit refunds, can be found on the Office of the Bursar’s website.
