The Faculty Children Exchange (FACHEX) Program
The FACHEX Program was inaugurated in 1971 by the Academic Vice Presidents of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. It provides that the children of faculty, administrators, and staff at one Jesuit college may receive tuition remission at another participating Jesuit college.
The following statements reflect the current policies and procedures.
1. Eligibility  The son or daughter of any faculty, administrator or staff member eligible for tuition remission at the parent's school is eligible to apply. A student may attend for less than the four years normally required for an undergraduate degree, and must be admitted as an incoming fall freshman student. Transfer students, summer session enrollment, and students admitted in the spring semester are excluded.. The benefits are for full-time students only.
2. Procedures  The student first must submit a regular application for admission to the FACHEX-participating College involved. This must be done in accord with that college's regular admission requirements and procedure. Eligibility to participate in the FACHEX Program does not qualify a student for admission, nor does admission qualify a student for FACHEX tuition remission.When a student has applied for admission at the other institution, that student should report this promptly to the Office of Student Financial Services indicating in writing the interest in the FACHEX program.  
The Office of Student Financial Services then will notify the FACHEX representative at the other institution of the student's eligibility as a FACHEX applicant.The receipt of a FACHEX tuition remission depends finally on the FACHEX openings available at a given college when the foregoing process is completed.It's usually first come, first served, and no FACHEX waiting list is maintained nationally, although a college might choose to maintain a waiting list of its own.The FACHEX applicant will be notified of the outcome by the FACHEX representative of the institution to which the student applied.
3. Restrictions  Not all Jesuit colleges are participating in the FACHEX Program, and there are some program restrictions (e.g., health sciences, nursing, and overseas studies are often excluded). No school is obligated to enroll more than three FACHEX students over the number it sends out. Hence, at times, one or more participating colleges may have no openings, and it may be impossible to forecast much in advance when openings will occur. Colleges do, however, aim to inform FACHEX applicants of their status by May 15th.
If a college does not offer a full tuition remission to its faculty children, an incoming FACHEX student would receive a similar remission and would have to pay the difference between the remission and the full tuition charge. Since the benefits are remission of tuition only, students are expected to pay all fees and room and board charges assessed by the "receiving" institution.
