Early Registration (For Freshmen Only)
Early registration is available for those freshmen accepted for admission
who have paid the $50.00 acceptance deposit. As part of the process, an
academic advisor from your chosen major will prepare a schedule of
classes for you.
New Student Introduction to
Banner Web and E-Mail
The Xavier web-based information system is called BANNER WEB. Xavier
students are granted access to this secure system via the U
­ niversity web
site. Students will be assigned a Xavier email address and will be notified
of their User ID and PIN number in order to gain access to their student
information (financial aid, classes and academic records, housing, etc.).
Student Organizations
The organization charged with effectively representing the students of
Xavier University is the Student Government Association. Through the
Student Government Association, religious organizations, honor societies,
dormitory councils, departmental clubs, class organizations, student
publications, fraternities and sororities (professional, service and social),
musical groups and various other societies, Xavier provides for your
enrichment in every possible way. A ­complete list of each of the campus
organizations may be found in the student handbook which will be
distributed during Freshman Orientation.
New Student Orientation
In order to assist new students with the transition to college life at
Xavier, an orientation program is planned during the week of
August 13-19, 2016. This program is coordinated by the Center for Leadership and Service and the Peer Deans—a group of student volunteers
selected on the basis of leadership ability, scholarship and character.

Financial Aid Information
$ $ $ $ $ $
The money is there
if you apply for it.
You should never rule out the college of your choice because you think
you can’t afford it. Xavier’s Financial Aid Staff is willing to help you
over your financial hurdles. Of the assistance you might be offered, you
may receive grants (that do not have to be paid back), college work-study
(work and earn money), or loans (that you must pay back). So never give
up. The money is there if you have the qualifications and the desire to
­pursue it.
If you have not already done so, you should apply for financial aid through
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your
eligibility for aid (including all loans). Financial aid application forms
may be obtained from your high school counselor’s office or online at
www.FAFSA.ed.gov. Forms must be completed by you and your parents
and submitted online or mailed to the need analysis service. List Xavier’s
Institutional Code number 002032 on your application for us to receive
the result of your analysis. When you receive a request from Xavier’s
Financial Aid Office or any other agency involved in the aid process,
please respond promptly!
Eligible non-citizens must submit a copy of their I-151 or I-551. All male
students over the age of 17 must register with the Selective Service
two (2) months before their 18th birthday if they expect to receive
financial aid.

Student Academic Success Office
The mission of the Student Academic Success Office (SASO) is to
­improve retention and graduation rates of Xavier students, particularly
by addressing new freshmen students and students who are academically at risk.
This is done through academic support and First Year Experience programs. The Office works closely with academic departments and other
campus offices that affect academic enhancement to design and implement academic programs for improving retention and graduation rates;
to provide academic advising to Deciding Majors; to monitor the academic progress of probationary students; to provide academic support
through the coordination, enhancement and support of peer tutoring and
the academic labs (reading, writing, and mathematics); and to engage a
system of monitoring and mentoring for the academic progress of new
freshman students
Course Placement at Xavier
One of the most important responsibilities faced by the student and the
university at the beginning of a student’s college studies is that of placement. Without careful selection and placement into courses to best fit
academic preparations, the student’s success in college is placed in jeopardy or the college experience is less fulfilling. The Office of Admissions,
in cooperation with the College of Arts and Sciences and the Student
Academic Success Office, has the initial responsibility for placement of
students entering the University. SAT, ACT, and placement tests in
­English, mathematics, reading, French, and Spanish are the main tools in
this placement. Students will take computer-based tests, with the College Board ACCUPLACER test used for placement in English, mathematics, and reading, and the WebCAPE test used for placement in French and
Spanish. ­Results of these tests are used to place students into regular,
honors, or developmental freshman-level courses.
Who Must Take The Tests?
All entering freshmen whose ACT or SAT scores indicate that further testing is warranted should take placement tests in the recommended areas.
Also, transfer students with less than sixty (60) semester hours or whose
academic program at Xavier still requires courses in mathematics or
English could be required to take a placement test. Failure of a placement
test in any area invalidates transfer credit in that area. Students who do
not take the tests in the recommended areas will be required to take
­developmental courses in those areas. Placement is based on institutional studies and experiences and is intended to benefit the student.
In addition, students are eligible to receive advanced placement in either
French or Spanish based on the results of the WebCAPE placement test.
Students who have two or more years of either French or Spanish must
take this exam before enrolling at the university.

ACCUPLACER Test-taking Strategies
1.
Take your time. The test is not timed. Relax and choose your answers
carefully.
2.
Read carefully. Be sure to understand exactly what each question requires.
3.
Think carefully. The test requires one to complete or substitute information
for parts of given sentences. Response should reflect clear language use.
4.
Write before choosing an answer. Use scratch paper to experiment with
answers. Be sure to understand the given options before answering.
ACCUPLACER English Placement Test (ACCEPT)
WritePlacer (English Placement Test) evaluates students’ essays written to one of
several prompts provided by the ACCUPLACER system. The essay is evaluated
according to how well it corresponds to the following:
• Purpose and Focus: The extent to which information is presented in a unified and coherent manner, clearly addressing the issue.
• Organization and Structure: The extent to which ideas are ordered and
connected.
• Development and Support: The extent to which ideas are developed and
supported.
• Sentence Variety and Style: The extent to which sentences and paragraphs are crafted, demonstrating control of vocabulary and structure.
• Mechanical Conventions: The extent to which ideas are expressed using
standard English.
• Critical Thinking: The extent to which the writer communicates a point of
view and demonstrates reasoned relationships among ideas.
ACCUPLACER Mathematics Placement Test
(ACCMPT)
There are three categories in the Elementary Algebra Test.
• Operations with integers and rational numbers: Includes computation
with integers and negative rationals, the use of absolute values, and ordering.
• Operations with algebraic expressions: Includes evaluations of simple
formulas, expressions, and adding, subtracting monomials and polynomials,
the evaluation of positive rational roots and exponents, simplifying algebraic
fractions and factoring.
• Equation solving, inequalities, and word problems: Includes: solving
verbal problems presented in algebraic context, geometric reasoning, the
translation of written phrases into algebraic expressions, and graphing.
ACCUPLACER Reading Placement Test (ACCRPT)
•
•
eading Comprehension: This test is designed to measure how well you
R
understand what you read. It contains 20 questions. Some ask you to decide
how two sentences are related. Other questions are based on passages of
various lengths. You will be asked to interpret and draw conclusions from
what you have read.
Sentence Skills: Two kinds of questions are given in this test. You will be
asked to correct a sentence by choosing a word or phrase to substitute for
an underlined portion of a sentence. In the other type of questions, you will
be asked to rewrite the sentence in a specific way without changing the
meaning. You will be presented a total of 20 questions.

Course Placement Using ACT & SAT Scores
If a student takes the ACT and the SAT, the better of the two scores will be
used for placement. Therefore, it is imperative that students submit their
highest and most recent test scores.

College Credit Before Enrolling at Xavier
q Bypass Credit
Students with high ACT or SAT scores can “bypass” one semester
of mathematics (precalculus) and/or English (English 1010). For your
information, the requirements for bypassing are:
Mathematics
Minimum ACT Math score of 24 (560 on Math SAT), good grades in
high school and good grades in college-prep mathematics courses
including algebra and trigonometry.
English
Minimum ACT English score of 27 (610 on Verbal SAT), good grades
in high school and good grades in college-prep English courses.
q College Courses Taken While in High School
Any courses in which you made a “C” or higher at another college
or university will probably be accepted at Xavier. For your information, such courses do NOT count in your GPA but will appear on the
transcript with a “P” (for “pass”). In order to receive credit, send an
official copy of your transcript to Xavier as soon as possible.
q Advanced Placement (AP) and International
Baccalaureate (IB) Credit
Students with AP scores of 3 or higher can generally get college credit for the appropriate course at Xavier. College credit is also awarded
for students who participated in IB programs and made the scores
required by Xavier. Some medical and dental schools do not accept
credit for AP and IB. Therefore, students should consult with their
academic advisor regarding these courses. In order to receive credit,
students should have AP or IB scores sent to the Admissions Office.
q College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
The College Board CLEP exams are administered at colleges and universities across the country. Xavier will grant up to 30 hours of CLEP
credit for subject area exams. In New Orleans, the exam is administered at Delgado Community College.

The Miracle Continues
Saint Katharine Drexel was canonized in Rome on
­October 1, 2000. Her rapid advance toward sainthood
came as no surprise to those who have experienced
her most visible and enduring miracle — Xavier
­University. St. Katharine founded the institution in 1925
in conjunction with Xavier University Preparatory High
School. The main campus, now located on Drexel
Drive, opened in 1932 where the current administration
building initially housed all classrooms, laboratories,
academic and administrative offices. Drexel and the
Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament dedicated themselves
to serve poor and disenfranchised African and Native
American populations throughout the nation. Despite
this humble mission, however, Xavier continued to
thrive and grow. The College of Pharmacy was built in
1970 and the Norman C. Francis Academic/Science
Complex, completed in 1988, marked the first time a separate facility for the College of
Arts and Sciences had been constructed on the Carrollton campus. This teaching and
research facility, named for the University’s revered president emeritus, houses several
departments and programs ­including those in the natural sciences, mathematics and
computer science, along with classrooms and lecture halls.
Xavier’s Library Resource Center and College of Pharmacy annex opened in 1993
­affording students a 24-hour study area, seminar and meeting rooms, computer work
stations and exhibition space. Xavier South is among an array of properties along the
Earhart Expressway a few blocks from the main campus. This facility includes additional administrative offices and classroom space. In fall 1990, a three-story addition to
Katharine Drexel Residence Hall was completed to accommodate the increasing number of non-local students drawn by Xavier’s national acclaim. The Living Learning
­Center which opened in Fall 1998, has a capacity of 500 and features numerous modern
conveniences and technological innovations. St. Martin dePorres Residence Hall,
which opened in Fall 2003, has a capacity of 514 and is a hub for student life at the
campus’ southern end. Rounding out Xavier’s facilities and accommodations are the
University Center which opened in Fall 2003, the Art Village which opened in Fall 2011,
St. Joseph Academic and Health Resource Center which opened in January 2012. The
most recent additions are the St. Katharine Drexel Chapel, a world-class chapel consecrated in October 2012 and the Convocation Academic Center with a modern 4,500 seat
arena which opened in Fall 2012, and the Student Fitness Center which opened in July
2015.
Today, Xavier remains one of the most competitive institutions in the region with a
celebrated legacy for graduating African Americans in pharmacy and other health
­sciences. As student enrollment continues to climb, the University maintains a modern
campus that has expanded to include new construction along with neighborhood and
community facilities adapted to meet students’ needs.
Xavier is deeply grateful for the generous donors whose support, prayers, contributions, time, and consideration, make our continued growth possible. In particular, we
appreciate the continuing commitment and dedication of the Sisters of the Blessed
Sacrament whose lives and example further advance Saint Katharine’s vision of leadership and service through their many missions and causes including Xavier University
of Louisiana.
