Congratulations on becoming one of the newest members of the Xavierite family!!!
If you are in need of living on campus, there is a one-time $300.00 deposit required, which includes a $100 non-refundable application fee. $200 is processed as a refund once a student cancels their housing and is contingent upon the student having no balance with the institution.
After you've answered all questions, you will be prompted to pay your deposit. Without submitting the payment at the end of the application, your application will be considered incomplete, and you will not be eligible to receive housing.
When we have received your completed application, we will create your assignment. Please allow up to 1 week for processing. To view your assignment, please log on to your Self-Service Portal and view your hall, room, and roommate information.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Residential Education at reslife@xula.edu or 504-520-7321 with any questions.
Welcome to the Xavier family!
Creating an Engaging Community
Our residential education program creates an engaging environment where students live, learn and thrive. We develop a sense of belonging, provide opportunities for personal growth, and foster a safe and supportive environment. Our team aims to make the University of Xavier feel like home. The mission of the Office of Housing & Residence Life to support the academic mission of the institution by providing a safe, comfortable physical environment in which one is able to pursue academic endeavors and achieve personal growth within the boundaries of community standards and respect for others.
Our primary purpose is to assist in and contribute to the development of the “whole” person (intellectual, spiritual, emotional, ethical and physical components) by utilizing the resources and services of the university and community. Therefore being committed to providing a quality living and learning environment, we will contribute to the overall positive development and education of each student within the residence halls.
3 Main Reasons to Live on Campus:
Community
Living on campus is the best option for students who want to be in the thick of things. By living on campus, you’ll have access to a variety of activities and events that will keep you connected with the Xavier community. You’ll be near your friends and neighbors, which will help make it easier to get involved in extracurricular activities, clubs, or simply having fun.
Safety
Living in our residence halls is the safest way to live on campus. Our police department has experienced officers, top-notch security systems (X-card, cameras, and individual keys), and a desk staff that works most of the day and night. You can feel safe and secure living in our residence halls.
Convenience
Living on campus is the best way to ensure that you're getting the most out of your education. You'll be so close to your classes that walking is easy and convenient—you won't have to worry about fighting for a parking spot or driving long distances. You'll also be near many other important aspects of a student's life: the cafeteria, library, student union and campus recreation center.
Steps for (On-Campus Living)
- You must submit a housing deposit of $300 housing prior to May 1st.
- Log into the housing portal and submit your housing application.
- First-time students do not choose where they live. Housing is manually completed for the 1st time students only.
- First-time students cannot request who they would like to live with due to limited spacing.
- Your housing assignment will be posted in your housing portal two weeks after you pay your deposit and apply.
