Personal Care Attendants (PCAs)

Xavier University is committed to providing access to all individuals. One way that Xavier does this is by acknowledging that some students may require a Personal Care Attendant (PCA) while in the learning environment.

Please be aware:

• Xavier does not provide PCA services
• PCA’s are hired, paid, and employed by the student they are assisting
• PCA’s are not a classroom or lab assistants
• PCA’s are required to abide by all Xavier policies, including but not limited to the Student Code of Conduct
• PCA’s are only permissible in the classroom or lab when the student is in attendance
• PCA’s may not be enrolled in the class they are working in and will not receive academic credit for the class

A student bringing a PCA to Xavier must register with The Office Disability Services (ODS) prior to the PCA attending classes with the student. A student must identify the classes the PCA will attend with the student on ODS Online Services each term.

If a student will require a PCA while living in the residence halls the student must register with ODS and request housing accommodations.

Refer to the PCA guidelines��for more detailed information regarding student, PCA and ODS roles and responsibilities.
