Due to the new parking permit process, it will now take one to two weeks to receive your parking permit. In order to prevent from being ticketed you will need to PRINT a temporary parking permit.

Once you register your vehicle, you will receive two emails from parking@georgefox.edu. In the second email you will receive a link that will take you to a page where you can print a temporary parking permit. Please print this temporary parking permit and put it on the dashboard of your car.

This permit, when placed on your dashboard, will prevent you from being ticketed until your permanent permit arrives in the mail.

Please note: Students living on campus should put their campus address and PO box number on the “Mailing Address” line as it is now too late to have your permit sent to your home. If you are a commuter, you can put your home address in that spot.

Questions? Call Ed Gierok or Nadine Kincaid at 503-554-2090. You can also email us at egierok@georgefox.edu or nkincaid@georgefox.edu.

Please get your vehicle registration done immediately. Thank you for your cooperation.

This summer we upgraded the network in the dorms and apartments to bring faster internet speeds. After monitoring the wired port usage for the last two years we found that only a hand full were in use for each dorm or apartment complex. With this in mind and a desire to upgrade as much of the housing network as possible we disconnected all the ports except for wireless. We reserved a small quantity of wired ports on the network switches for each building and can make them available on a requested basis.

Please contact the service desk at 503-554-2569 or by email at servicedesk@georgefox.edu to let us know the building, room and data port number you would like activated.

They usually have a D with a number following. We will try to get your port activated as soon as possible.

To all earthbound lovers of precipitous, craggy heights… those who live by the seat of their harness… you who are armed with rope, chalk, and shoes… George Fox may not have a mountain for you, but we do have a rock wall!

Come find us on the ground floor of Wheeler this Thursday, August 27th, opening roughly around 5 PM. Climb on!

For more information contact: Nikolas Tripp –ntripp13@georgefox.edu

With less than a week until the fall semester begins, your vehicle registration needs to be completed at your earliest convenience as it will now take 1-2 weeks after registration to receive your parking permits. If you have already completed the registration process, please disregard this message and any follow-up messages and thank you for completing the process! Students who do not own a car can also disregard this message.

For those of you that still need to register, here are some hints and tips:

1. Log on to myGFU, locate GFU Resources, and click on the Vehicle Registration link near the bottom of the listings. (https://www.permitsales.net/GeorgeFoxU)

2. Use the 7 digits of your ID # that are in-between the dashes on your ID card.

3. Have your DMV registration card in front of you as you will need the information found on it.

4. Make sure you complete the entire process and look for the two check boxes that need to be checked before the process is complete.

5. Once the screen indicates you have successfully completed the process, you will receive a confirmation e-mail of your order.

6. When your permit has been processed and is ready to be mailed, you will receive a second e-mail with a link to print out a temporary permit to use until your permit arrives. Place that temporary permit on your dashboard and use it until your permit arrives.

7. Commuters with two cars should register them one right after the other, and the permits will be sent in two separate envelopes, but you will only be charged for one permit.

8. Married couples who are both GFU students should have one person register both cars to avoid being charged twice.

9. If you live on campus, use 418 N. Meridian St. Newberg, OR 97132 with your PO box number in the “mailing address” line as it is too late to send it to your home address.

10. Any permits sent to your campus PO box will need to be signed for at Mail Services-they will NOT be put into your campus mailbox.

11. A parking brochure will be included in the letter containing your parking permit. Be sure to locate the areas where your permit allows you to park, and keep the brochure in your car for the first month of school in case your parking lot is full so you will know other available lots/areas to park.

12. Permits need to be affixed to the exterior of the vehicle and must be clearly visible from the rear of the vehicle. Do not place them on top of another permit!

13. If you live in the Good Neighbor zone which is roughly bordered by Hwy 99/College Street/railroad tracks/Villa Street, you may qualify for a gratis Neighborhood Permit. This permit doesn’t grant you any on-campus parking privileges, but it does indicate to Security officers and your neighbors that you do indeed live there.

Contact Security for more information on procuring a Neighborhood Permit as proof of residency is required and you will register in the Security office.

While most student concerns and complaints can and should be resolved informally, there is a formal general complaint procedure described in the “Support for Students” section of the Undergraduate Student Handbook as well as on the Graduate/DPS Policies page of the website.

Please note that these procedures cover complaints of a general nature and do not supersede specific policies involving special cases such as grade appeals, sexual harassment, etc., which are covered elsewhere in the Student Handbook, Catalog or Graduate/DPS Policies.
