Xavier seeks well-rounded students with potential for educational and personal development. Admission slots are limited and, therefore, are offered on a competitive basis.

Readmission
A student who desires readmission to the College of Arts & Sciences after an interruption of his/her attendance for any reason must submit a Request for Readmission application at least one month prior to the beginning of the session he/she plans to enter. The petition is presented to the College Academic Standing Committee for a decision. As part of the readmission procedure, a student who was not in good academic standing (cumulative G.P.A. below 2.0) when he or she left Xavier must schedule an appointment with the Counseling Center. Students re-admitted after academic dismissal are placed on strict probation. If a student is denied readmission by the College Academic Standing Committee, the student has a right to a written appeal of the decision. This appeal must be received in the Office of Admissions no later than six weeks after the date of the denial letter.
Former College of Pharmacy students should submit a Request of Readmission directly to the Registration Coordinator in the College of Pharmacy.

The I-20 Form for immigration purposes will not be issued until ALL of the above listed conditions have been satisfied. Students have found it beneficial in expediting passport procedures to have these requirements satisfied from six to twelve months prior to their intended date of departure. Applicants, who have had previous college work outside the United States, must have their records evaluated by an outside agency. The agency we recommend is:
Educational Credential Evaluators
P.O. Box 514070
Milwaukee, WI 53203-3470
USA
You must contact this agency and request an application form. When we receive an evaluation of your records from them, we will be able to determine what credits we will accept toward your Xavier degree.
After all conditions for admission are met, information on orientation and registration will be sent. It is advisable for students to begin the course of study during the Fall semester in order that they may take their courses in proper sequence.
Xavier University offers further information for international students through our Center for Intercultural and International Programs.
