Students living on campus are eligible for meal plans based on the number of completed credits earned. Students planning to commute are eligible for all meal plans. For more information about meal plans, please check out this webpage.

For your meal plan to be accurately reflected, you should select your meal plan by Monday, July 9. Students who fail to confirm their meal plans by the deadline, and if eligible, make any changes, will be charged for the meal plan applied to their account even if they did not use the meal plan.

For students needing medical accommodations to the meal plan, please complete the Meal Plan Accommodation Request Form and submit it (along with the required documentation) to the student life office.

Students who fail to select their meal plan by Wednesday, Aug. 22, may be assigned the LOWEST meal plan for which they are eligible. Changes made after Aug. 27 may be subject to our refund policy.

The final deadline for all declining meal plan changes will be Sunday, Sept. 9, the end of the add/drop period.

Please contact Jere Witherspoon in the student life office if you have any questions regarding the meal plan policies, and please include your student ID number when making an inquiry about your meal plan.

Office of Student Life (third floor of Stevens Center)

The Office for Spiritual and Intercultural Life is looking for post-college Life Group leaders for our eight-week fall Life Groups (the weeks of Sept. 17 through Nov. 5). Life Groups are small groups of undergraduate students who meet together for prayer, Bible study and fellowship.

Groups meet weekly for 60 to 90 minutes at the time and location of your choosing. Participants will select the group they wish to participate in based on the details that leaders provide. Groups are encouraged to use one of three curriculum options recommended by the Office for Spiritual and Intercultural Life that parallel other themes that are being explored in chapel.

We welcome our employees, alumni, family members of George Fox employees and students, and members of our wonderful local churches to consider leading a group. Our fall leader meeting will take place at a location to be determined on Thursday, Sept. 6, from noon to 1:30 p.m., and lunch will be provided.

For more information and to sign up, visit this webpage or contact the Office for Spiritual and Intercultural Life at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.

With the new academic year comes changes in parking policies. This letter is to inform you of those changes ahead of time so you can act accordingly.

All changes mentioned in this communication begin with the 2018-19 academic year. The university, not Campus Public Safety (formerly Security Services), has elected to bill all commuters for your annual parking permit automatically.

Your student account will be charged each semester through Student Financial Services. Additionally, there is an increase in the cost of the parking permit: $100 per semester ($200 annually).

When you go online to register your vehicle on MYGFU, under “GFU Resources,” click on “Vehicle Registration.” There will be no cost shown, and you will enter your vehicle information.

Complete instructions on vehicle registration can be found on Campus Public Safety’s website. Once you have completed the vehicle registration process, your permit will be mailed to you in 14 to 21 days at the mailing address you provided during the vehicle registration process.

For those who live nearby and would rather walk or ride a bike to campus, an online form will be available to request a refund for the permit charge. Please read the form thoroughly to understand the conditions of your refund. Information on where to access this form will be announced in an upcoming Daily Bruin.

Those of you living in the Good Neighbor area, when you bring in the required proof of residence to receive your free parking permit, your information will be submitted to Student Financial Services for a refund of permit charges. Details about parking off-campus can be found on the Off-Campus Parking web page.

Please watch this summer for any changes regarding parking policies or permits. Check your George Fox email regularly or you might miss something important.

Dates to register your vehicle are the folowing:

• Monday July 16, at 9 a.m.: Seniors, commuters, graduate programs
• Monday July 23, at 9 a.m.: Juniors
• Monday July 30, at 9 a.m.: Sophomores

As of July 1, 2018, you’ll see a new item on your paystub for Oregon’s statewide transit tax. The tax is one-tenth of one percent (.001) — or $1 per $1,000. Your employer will be automatically withholding the tax – just like the personal income tax – so you don’t have to do or change anything. Unlike the personal income tax, there’s no withholding exemption for this tax.

Revenue from the statewide transit tax will go to expanding public transportation throughout Oregon. For more information on how the tax revenues will be used, check out “HB 2017 Funding Package” under “Projects & News” on the Oregon Department of Transportation’s website.

To learn more about the tax itself, visit the Department of Revenue online at oregon.gov/dor.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact Kasondra Silva at ksilva@georgefox.edu.
