Greetings, students!

We know there is a lot you are carrying these days. If you want to connect with one of the university pastors for prayer, encouragement or to talk about faith, please complete this form and we will be in touch.

We are praying for you!

In collaboration with IT, Plant Services is pleased to announce a new process for the key request form.

The new electronic key request form is found in the my.georgefox site on the employee home page under the new box labeled “eForms.” The key request form allows you to request a key for yourself or for an incoming employee.

The key request will be electronically sent to the supervisor and each area’s building monitor for approval. When all approvals have been obtained electronically, the request is sent to the plant services locksmith for processing. The best news? This process is live!

The plant services web pages will soon be updated to include the link to this process instead of the paper form. Contact Plant Services at ext. 2010 if you have any questions.
