Student Responsibilities

Xavier University expects that all students will:

• Consult with their advisor at least once per semester, and also when the student is considering adding or changing majors, minors, or courses.
• Make appointments for advising sessions during the advisor’s office hours, and keep those appointments.
• Notify the advisor or someone in the advisor's office if it is not possible to keep an appointment.
• Be prepared for appointments during priority registration and/or registration:
  • Review the online Schedule of Classes,
  • Review progress toward graduation on DegreeWorks
  • Make a plan of courses and alternates for the next semester.
• Clarify some personal values and goals before meeting with their advisor, and be prepared to discuss them with their advisor.
• Follow through with appropriate action after an advising session (e.g., contact the Dean's Office, Registrar's Office, Career Development Office, etc.)
• Know important dates for each semester: last day to change, drop, or add classes; graduation application deadline.
• Accept responsibility and accountability for their actions and decisions.
  • Note: While advisors are available for guidance, students are ultimately responsible for satisfying all degree requirements as spelled out in the online University catalog under which they entered.
