Last semester, George Fox had zero COVID-19 cases among our residential students from August until November. The pandemic is more widespread at this point, but we are determined to take steps to keep it off our campus. One important step is reducing opportunities for exposure. Residential students are asked to stay on campus until March 15, with the exception of essential travel, off-campus jobs, and visiting outdoor locations.
COVID-19 testing is required for Newberg students returning to campus. It may take several days to receive results back. While you wait for the results, we ask you to limit your close contacts. You may attend classes, maintaining six feet of physical distancing and wearing a face covering.
See our COVID-19 website for more information about schedule and results.
