Xavier University commencement programs have been published since 1842. Older programs (1842 to around the early 20th Century) can be found included in the course catalog collection published for each academic year for St. Xavier College (later renamed Xavier University). The present collection is composed of those commencement programs found within the Xavier University Archives that are found separately published for the years 1920 and onwards.
Commencement programs cannot be considered proof of graduation. The names and honors of graduates listed are for purposes of the commencement program and do not represent a final certification of graduation. Contact the Xavier University Registrar's Office for definitive information on graduation status.
