How Does the Program Work?

Xavier students pay Xavier tuition and fees for the semester as they would normally do using their scholarships, financial aid, and financial means. Students will also be required to pay room and board fees for St. Martin DePorres Resident Hall (two residents, private bath), and satisfy the student health insurance requirement. Students at the host institution will pay their institution's tuition and fees. The students are then exchanged between the two institutions. The courses taken at the host institution will transfer to Xavier if the grade of "C" or better is earned. Students are responsible for their travel to and from the institution, materials such as textbooks, and all other personal items that may be required.

*Students should make sure that their health insurance policies cover them at the host institution.
*Grades earned at the host institution do not affect the student's Xavier grade point average.

What are the Qualifications?

  • Full-time students in good standing with the University.
  • Minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.00.
  • Junior standing (but exceptional Sophomores will be considered) majoring in any discipline.
