Employees: If you still have the white staff permit hang tag, or an adjunct one that expired on Dec. 31, 2015, it’s time to register your car on the new vehicle registration portal on MyGFU! Also, if you’ve changed cars since last summer, it’s time to update which vehicles you are driving to campus. It’s easy and fast!

If you are new to George Fox, or didn’t register on the new database last summer, just grab that vehicle registration form from the DMV and sign in to MyGFU. The vehicle registration link is underneath “GFU Resources.” It will ask you basic information about your vehicle, and also to click in agreement twice. Your permit will be sent to you via campus mail, so be sure to have your university post office box number in front of you before beginning the process.

Staff permits are valid until your permit either breaks or you leave the university. The orange adjunct permits are currently only valid until the last day of 2016, so adjuncts, please stay tuned this fall for instructions on how to re-register after fall semester.

Have a current staff or adjunct permit, but you’ve changed vehicles recently? Just bring your vehicle information to the security office and we will switch over your permit to your new vehicle and get it registered in our office.

Tired of switching permits from vehicle to vehicle? Bring $5 cash to the security office and we can issue you a new permit for that second vehicle.

Work at the Portland Center but come frequently to Newberg for meetings or to teach? We’d love for you to register as well!

Questions? Out-of-the-box vehicle situation? Email Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu, or call 503-554-2090 during office hours.
