Step 3: Next Steps for New HRD Students

Welcome, Again, HRD Students! You have already confirmed your enrollment (Step 1) and set up your Xavier Account (Step 2). Great! The next steps in the process follow…..

  • SKIPStep 4: Register for Classes. Attached is a Registration Form for the Fall. It is extremely important that you complete this form and scan/email it to Dr. Brenda Levya-GardnerASAPat or mail to Dr. Brenda Levya-Gardner, Xavier University, 3800 Victory Parkway, Cincinnati, OH 45202-3211. You do not register online for your first semester’s courses. Fall registration begins on April 4th. Until this step is complete, you will not be able to complete any of the next steps.
  • Step 5: Learn About Payment. After you are registered for the Fall, Step 5 will allow you to select your payment plans and review tuition and fees. You won’t be able to set up a payment plan until your registration is active.
  • Step 6: Get Ready for Classes discusses the use of Canvas, our online course management system. The HRD program uses Canvas, but not in the way described online. You will not be registered in the HRD Canvas Course we set up until the first week of classes; you can, however, explore the general use of Canvas.
  • Step 6 also gives you information about course materials, ID card and Parking. Textbooks will be available for purchase in our classroom the first weekend of classes (and may be charged to your Bursar account if you’ve been awarded financial aid for books), or you can purchase them on your own, not through the bookstore. I will send you a list of books in June.
  • You should order your parking pass in advance of class. The links are in Step 6. Again, you have to have registered for courses to buy your parking pass.
  • The Student ID card will be provided to you the first weekend of classes; you do not need to come onto campus in advance to get it.

Attached is the schedule for the first year of the program. You will register for 7 credits in the Fall, 7 credits in the Spring, 3 credits in the Summer, 6 credits in Fall 2019 and 7 credits in Spring 2020. You will graduate in May 2020. Tuition for Fall 2018-Spring 2019 is $630 per credit hour. Tuition rates forSummer 2019-Spring 2020 will be announced at the beginning of 2019. This fee includes meals and refreshment breaks during the classes, but does not include books (approximately $100-150 per course), parking permits, course fees (currently $100 the first semester), or other miscellaneous fees.

I encourage you to re-read the information about the program at make sure it meets your professional and/or personal goals. Please call me at or e-mail me at if you have any questions/concerns or if your plans change. It is important that you notify us of any e-mail or address changes. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
