HIGH-SCHOOL JUNIOR SUMMER PROGRAM ’15
THIS SUMMER, GET AN EARLY START ON YOUR COLLEGE EDUCATION
FOR A SPECIAL LOW TUITION,
STUDY AT XAVIER UNIVERSITY:
Follow your favorite interest or explore a
new subject.
Get a taste of campus life.
Take a regular undergraduate course—
and earn college credits.
Make new friends.
All current high-school juniors who will
graduate in June 2016 are invited to take
one college course for credit this summer at
Xavier University—and at a very minimal cost.
For only $240, you can take a university
course, earn three credit hours and get a
smart head start on your future college
education.
Since 1972, high-school students like you
have enjoyed studying drama, delving into
psychology or learning the language of
another culture. You’ll also be learning alongside other college students in regular university courses—not in classes designed just for
high-school students. You will experience just
what it’s like to study at a university.
We are proud of the many high-school students who
experience Xavier while taking summer classes and then
decide this University is their college choice.
GET CREDITS THAT COUNT AT XAVIER—OR ANYWHERE
After you finish your summer course, your final grade is
mailed to you. We keep your transcript on file, listing the
course, title, credit and the grade you earned. If you enroll
as a freshman at Xavier in the fall of 2016, you will have
an edge over your other classmates because you already
have earned college credit toward graduation.
If you decide to attend another university, you also
can transfer the summer credits you earn at Xavier. You
just need to pay a transcript fee of $5 at the time you
request the transfer. (It is important to get approval for
the transfer of credits from the school you are planning to
attend.)
REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCEPTANCE
To qualify for the summer program, you must have:
 Earned a “B” or better grade point average (GPA).
Fulfilled all high-school requirements for completing
your junior year prior to the summer course but will
not graduate until 2016.
YOUR APPLICATION PROCESS
All applications for participation in the High-School Junior
Summer Program must be received by March 23, 2015.
Please be aware that enrollment is limited for each
summer course listed in this brochure.
APPLY TODAY. HERE’S HOW:
CHOOSE FROM A WIDE RANGE OF CLASSES
Take a look at the complete list of summer classes in this
brochure and you’ll see courses covering a wide range of
interests. Plus, with courses offered during the day and in
the evening, you’re sure to find a time that fits your busy
schedule.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SIGNIFICANTLY LOW COSTS
You’ll pay just $80 per credit hour or $240 for a threecredit-hour course. That’s significantly less than Xavier’s
regular per-credit-hour cost of $635. It’s a big savings—
and a great investment in the opportunity to learn at
Xavier. Also, you are not required to pay an application
fee. Your only other expenses will be for textbooks,
course/lab fees and personal expenses. Parking is free
during the summer at Xavier.
EARN A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY
If you participate in the High-School Junior Summer
Program, and if Xavier is your college choice, your application process will be streamlined. You will only need to
submit the following to the Office of Admission during
the fall of your senior year: an application for admission,
the results of your ACT and/or SAT tests and a current
high-school transcript.
