Impact of COVID-19

Xavier University is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and safety of our students, faculty and staff. It is very important that we practice the promotion of social distancing and relying on the advice of health experts, therefore, Veteran and Military Family Center employees will be working remotely from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM each business day until further notice. The physical Veteran and Military Family Center located in the Conaton Learning Commons, room 529 is closed until further notice. 

If you need assistance please send an email to veterans@xavier.edu or leave a voice message at (513) 745-3685.  Feel free to leave a message, we will be checking our voicemail and email regularly.

VA Education Benefits: 

There will be no major impact to currently enrolled students' G.I. Bill® Benefits. Emergency legislation was passed by both houses of congress and signed into law by the President on March 21, 2020 which clarified how the Department of Veterans Affairs should treat in-person courses of study that convert to distance learning formats due to health-related situations and other national emergencies.

Through out the Spring 2020 Semester, the office of Academic Support will be facilitating remote tutoring services via Zoom. Please contact Spencer Rumley, the Veterans Advisor if you need assistance or have any questions about these services.
