Return to Campus
Community Commitment
The health and safety of the Xavier community is at the forefront of all University policies in response to COVID-19. To enable the full and safe reopening of campus in the fall, we will all need to do our part to keep each other healthy and safe. This shared responsibility will include the wearing of masks while indoors in the company of others, maintaining social distancing, and adhering to “test, treat, trace” protocols. Our commitment to each other’s health and safety is an extension of our approach to being in community together as Musketeers: All for One and One for All.
Fall Semester Schedule
As we continue to follow the CDC and Federal, and State guidelines, we are planning to welcome students back to campus and to teach in-person in August. In response to the best available information, we will be shifting our semester forward to begin classes on August 17, instead of the previously scheduled start date of August 24. Move-in and orientation for all new students will be held the week of August 10.
*Please note that fully-online graduate programs may be following the originally scheduled dates and the dates of some accelerated programs may vary from the standard term dates posted here. Students should check with their program for more information.

Xavier is committed to high-quality, personalized education, informed by our Jesuit mission and values, to help you on your path to success.
