Saint Xavier University Acceptance Rate & Admissions

Saint Xavier University admitted 84.3% of applicants in the reported entering class, making admission available to a broad share of that year’s pool. This rate is above the median of 71.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size).

The rate records a past applicant-pool outcome rather than forecasting an individual decision.

Saint Xavier University serves an undergraduate body with substantial Pell Grant participation and a notable transfer presence. Pell Grant recipients make up 58.9% of its 3,096 undergraduates, and an estimated 30.6% enter as transfers or part-time students.

The figures describe a campus drawing both aid recipients and people continuing work begun at another institution, rather than one defined by a single entry path.

Pell Grant recipients at Saint Xavier University complete at 59.4%, 2.8 percentage points above the six-year graduation rate for the first-time full-time cohort as a whole. The overall graduation rate is 56.6%, against a peer median of 68.8% for comparable institutions (same type and size).

First-year retention stands at 75.7%, below the 83.4% peer median. An enrolled student can expect a campus where Pell outcomes run ahead of the overall rate, though retention in the first year lags the peer median.
