To expedite the payment process for students paying in Portland, Student Accounts has changed how we handle checks. If paying by check, your payment will now be processed as an electronic (ACH) payment via the MyGFU CashNet payment site. This will shorten the time it takes to process your payment, and it allows for an electronic receipt to be emailed to you for your records. What you will see that is different on the banking side is that your bank statement will show an ACH payment, not a check.
If you prefer to not have your check processed in this way, we have pre-addressed payment envelopes available that you can use to mail your payment to Newberg. Our Newberg address is: Student Accounts, 414 N. Meridian #6129, Newberg, OR 97132.
Questions? Contact Jenny Getsinger at jgetsing@georgefox.edu.

The campus will look a little different on Saturday as we prepare to host around 3,000 guests at our first football game of the year that afternoon at 1 p.m.. Here are some things to make note of:
Bauman Parking Lot
Be sure to move your cars out of the Bauman parking lot on Friday evening. This space will be dedicated to vendors and tailgating on Saturday. Stop by on Saturday and check out all of the food and activities happening before the game!
Entrances to the Football Game
There will be two entrances into the game and both are located in the Bauman parking lot, directly behind the stadium.
Wheeler Sports Center Closed
The Wheeler Sports Center will be closed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This means the basketball gym, racquetball courts and locker rooms will be closed. The Fitness Center will remain open for normal business hours, but you will need to enter through the hallway entrance located on the field level, toward the end of the building near the tennis courts. There will be security officers who will ask you where you are headed; just let them know that you are going to work out.
Bauman Walkway
The sidewalk located between the football stadium and Bauman will be closed. Please walk around the building and do not move the barricade.
Barricades
If you see a barricade, it is there for a reason. Please do not move them, jump over them, crawl under them, or unlock them.
Circle Parking Lot
The circle parking lot near Wheeler will be closed for the day. This space is reserved for officials to park in. Officials will arrive as early as 8:30 a.m.
Sideline Passes
No one will be granted field access without a sideline pass. Sideline passes are issued to those who are required to work and/or have official business during the game.
Tickets
Students and staff can show their ID cards at the gate to get into the game. Additional tickets can be purchased at the gate or online by visiting this ticket link.
We hope to see you at the game at 1 p.m. and the tailgates prior to that! We will be taking on the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.
Questions? Contact Elise Trask at etrask@georgefox.edu or Sarah Reid at sreid@georgefox.edu.
