Welcome Weekend is almost here! In order for our hundreds of new students to have a seamless move-in experience, we need extra cooperation from the staff, faculty and students already here on Thursday evening, Aug. 22, and Friday, Aug. 23.
Staff and faculty: Please plan to park along the street, in the Bauman or Morse lot on Friday.
Students: If your on-campus residence is Pennington, Edwards, Weesner Village, Hobson, Macy, Sutton, Le Shana, Gulley, Brandt or Newlin halls, we need you to vacate the lots associated with these locations on Thursday morning and stay out of them on Friday.
If you normally park in the Le Shana or Newlin Hall lots, please move your cars as close to Fulton Street as possible so that the areas in front of the buildings remain clear. You can also move your vehicles to the Bauman lot.
Everyone who parks in the Pennington lot, lollipop area, Edwards or Weesner Village needs to move to the Morse lot (next to Plant Services/softball field) on Thursday morning. Please keep Sheridan Street clear for easier access for our incoming students!
The lot in between the Roberts Center, Gulley and Brandt halls must be vacated on Thursday evening.
Questions? Please contact Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090 and view the parking brochure on the CPS website for lot locations. Thank you in advance for your cooperation to help make move-in day the best day ever for our new students!

Every year, students ask the student accounts office how to waive the health insurance fee that’s on their student account. If you already have health insurance and don’t need George Fox’s, you must complete the health insurance form located in your MyGeorgeFox “Task” tile under your To-Do list by Sept. 1.
This waiver must be completed annually, as it is not automatically renewed for you. Once you’ve completed the waiver, the charge should drop off of your student account within a few business days.
Full-time undergraduate students and full-time in-person graduate program students who do not complete the waiver will be enrolled and charged for university-provided insurance. These charges are due at the beginning of the semester and cannot be included in a monthly payment plan.
For any appeals regarding George Fox health insurance, please contact Health & Counseling at hcc@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2340.
