Resident Resources

Due to the limited availability of on-campus housing, Xavier establishes guidelines for awarding housing contracts. Local students who live within commuting distance and transfer students are the lowest priority when assignments are made. Assignments are handled on a first-come, first-served basis using the date the Acceptance Deposit and Housing Application Forms are received. Both the Acceptance Deposit and Housing Application must be submitted before a student can be offered a housing contract.

 

The Residence Hall Staff consists of a Hall Director, Hall Advisors, and Resident Assistants. All residence halls are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Residence Hall Director is a professional member of the Residence Life staff and may reside in the hall. The Director supervises the residence hall staff and monitors facility maintenance, programming, and daily hall operations. Hall Advisors are university staff members with supervisory authority and responsibility for hall operations. The Hall Advisor reports to the Hall Director. The Hall Director and Hall Advisor supervise the Resident Assistant.
