Community Commitment
The health and safety of the Xavier community is at the forefront of all University policies in response to COVID-19. We all need to do our part to keep each other healthy and safe. This shared responsibility includes the wearing of masks while indoors in the company of others, maintaining social distancing, and adhering to “testing, treatment, and tracing” 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.
COVID-19 Dashboard
A COVID-19 Dashboard has been developed and shared with the Xavier community. The Dashboard shares total positive active cases of COVID-19 among employees and students, with definitions to help explain the information.

The Academic Experience
Xavier is committed to high-quality, personalized education, informed by our Jesuit mission and values, to help you on your path to success. We plan for the vast majority of undergraduate classes to be held face-to-face, taught by dedicated and expert faculty, in the same small class size that defines a Xavier education.

Employee Resources
Employees are now in the Advance Preparation phase of the return to campus as they return to work on campus gradually. This approach will allow time for the physical preparation of the campus to be completed and will give employees time to make their own preparations for returning.
