I mean, if someone has less than perfect credit, with a co-signer they can still obtain a loan. Checking for a criminal background is understandable....but credit history??
An applicant's credit has NO effect on being accepted or denied entrance into Xavier. Wether a student can pay or not means nothing in reagrds to their classes and references.The credit section is strictly for those who require a payment plan instead of the financial aid programs. And even further, I do not believe that we have ever used this section without speaking directly with the student.
