Over the past two years, the university has partnered with TimelyCare to provide virtual medical and mental health services to undergraduate students and select face-to-face graduate programs based in Newberg. We are writing to inform you that this contract will conclude on May 26, 2026.

We anticipate securing a replacement telehealth provider; however, there may be a temporary gap in service availability during the summer months. This transition is primarily due to the cost of these services, which has been higher than anticipated.

We are currently in advanced discussions with two potential vendors and will provide an update as soon as a new provider is selected, including details on how to access services.

In the meantime, we wanted to ensure you are aware of the potential gap in telehealth availability this summer so you can plan accordingly.

If you have any questions, please contact the Health and Counseling Center at hcc@georgefox.edu.

•  Bicycles that are improperly parked, unregistered or inoperable are impounded. Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bike racks and surrounding areas.
• Bicycles may not be stored on the campus during the summer semester. Bicycle claims can be made at the Campus Public Safety office.
• Students using their bikes during the summer must move their bikes to the nearest rack of their summer housing.
