Xavier University Group Visit Policy
Xavier University welcomes chaperoned groups of 15 or more to visit our beautiful campus in Cincinnati, OH. The information presented below is a guide for chaperones and tour organizers. Group Tour appointments will consist of an admissions presentation and a campus tour as outlined below.
Group visits can be scheduled for groups of 15 – 50 students who represent college access programs, high schools, guidance departments, or other student support organizations.
Group visits are reserved for students currently in grades 9-12 who are directly affiliated with a high school program or community-based organizations with a college readiness program.
We cannot accommodate elementary or middle school students.
