Athletic Academic Advising

Priority Registration

Class Registration

Student-athletes have the opportunity to register for classes on a priority basis. Every effort should be made to utilize this period. After priority registration, student- athletes can schedule until the first day of classes. This insures that you will be able to get the classes necessary to meet the satisfactory progress requirements. The online schedule of classes is available in MyXU on the Student Services tab in advance of pre-registration. All athletes must meet with their departmental academic advisors prior to the opening of general student registration.

The Xavier University Catalog publishes its courses in the curriculum; it also provides a description of each course. In the catalog there is a block schedule with the recommended sequences of courses to help you schedule the courses you need to graduate.

All full-time undergraduate students must set up a time with their academic advisor for selecting their courses. Their registration form must be signed by both their academic advisor and themselves prior to registering their courses for the next semester or summer of attendance. The advisor will utilize the degree evaluation available on MyXU to check the students? progress.

At the beginning of the advising period for the term, each student?s registration time is available on MyXU on the Student Services tab under Registration Status. Undergraduate students may register at or after their registration time.
