ID System Maintenance Fee/Student Accounts versus ID Replacement Fee/Campus Card Office

Cashier) every semester/session during which he/she is enrolled in classes at Xavier is an ID system maintenance fee and is separate from the Replacement ID Card $10.00 nonrefundable cash fee which is paid in the Campus Card Office, University Center, and Room 122.   The first ID that a student receives is actually issued free of charge during the first semester/session in which he/she enrolls at Xavier.
