The class and certification cost is $20. Anyone interested in lead climbing at the Student Center will need to take the full course. Classes will be offered Tuesdays at 11 a.m. starting Sept. 10, and Wednesdays at 5 p.m. starting Sept. 18. 
• Gym to Crag: This course will cover a variety of topics, including knots, anchor building, and risks unique to outdoor climbing. There are three class sessions on Sept. 17, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. The course will conclude with an outdoor excursion on Saturday, Oct. 12. The course fee is $15 and needs to be paid prior to the first class session. Participants should be experienced climbers with a current belay certification through the Hadlock Student Center.

While all commuters and graduate students were automatically charged for a parking permit through Student Accounts, all student drivers still need to register to receive their parking permits. This isn’t done automatically because we don’t know which vehicle you might be bringing to campus.

After you have registered your vehicle through MyGeorgeFox, please print out the temporary permit from the link in your confirmation email and place that on your dashboard. This will serve as your permit until your permit sticker arrives in the mail in the next three weeks.

A parking brochure will arrive with your permit, but until then, be sure to check the Campus Public Safety webpage to learn where you can park. 

Parking facing the wrong way or blocking driveways and mailboxes can result in hefty fines from the police department. Please be courteous as you park. 

Additionally, Campus Public Safety is not responsible for parking information you receive from anyone but us. Drivers are responsible for knowing the George Fox parking policies and adhering to them.  

Employees: Help us out by sharing this information with students you know.
