IT is excited to announce a new single sign-on (SSO) process for George Fox systems. We have replaced our current SSO provider, and this Friday, Aug. 16, Gmail and FoxTALE will be included in this change.
This new process will allow you to use more apps by only logging into a system once.
Over the summer, the university transitioned from our former ID card system, which used a magnetic stripe, to a proximity card system that lets an individual tap the card on a reader instead of swiping.Â
Due to this change, we have printed a new card for every employee at George Fox University and, pending the status of our new proximity-reader installations, you may find that you are not able to get into the buildings you need without it.
If you haven’t already received your new card, your administrative assistant may have it for you. If not, there are a few other opportunities to pick up your new card:
Please note: You will need to turn in your old card in order to pick up your new one. Please bring this with you. Your new card should have all the same permissions activated that your old one did.
Thank you for working with us as we continue our efforts to make campus life easier!

Have you noticed how easy it is to donate when the donation site is right on your way to work? With this in mind, the Bruin Community Pantry will be making it easier than ever to donate non-perishable food.
Offices participating in this initiative will be given a bright yellow reusable grocery bag to place in a highly visible location in their office. Individuals who work in that office who wish to donate only have to bring their donations with them to work, or class.
When the bag is full, call Jere Witherspoon (ext. 2316) in the Office of Student Life and a BCP volunteer will come to your office, replace the full bag with an empty one, and take the full bag to the pantry.
It’s as easy as it sounds. Bags will be available at the all-community meeting this Monday, Aug. 19.
A big thank you to the Staff Development Committee, who donated funds to purchase the grocery bags.
