The Daily Bruin

While most student concerns and complaints can and should be resolved informally, there is a formal general complaint procedure described in the “Support for Students” section of the Undergraduate Student Handbook as well as on the Graduate/DPS Policies page of the website.

Note that these procedures cover complaints of a general nature and do not supersede specific policies involving special cases such as grade appeals, sexual harassment, etc., which are covered elsewhere in the Student Handbook, catalog or Graduate/DPS Policies.

For more information, contact the student life department (studentlife@georgefox.edu).

We are a team of students from the organizational communication department who really need your help with a survey that takes only two minutes.

Take it here. Thank you for your time and support!

Here is the policy for leaving cars on campus during Juniors Abroad and summer serve trips:

1. Due to construction all summer long around campus, it is recommended to leave your car off-campus with a friend who can drive it and watch it, as George Fox is not responsible for any theft or damage to your vehicle while left unattended on campus.
2. Cars must be left in one of two places only: the side of the Le Shana lot closest to Wheeler and the North Street parking lot in between Brandt Hall and Canyon Commons.
3. The key must be left with Security Services before departure.
4. Security has a form to be signed, and name and number of emergency contact is needed on the form in addition to your license plate number, make and model of vehicle, and where it was parked.
5. Upon return from the trip, call security at 503-554-2090 to arrange a time with the officer on duty to pick up your key if it is after office hours. Bring photo ID to claim your key.
6. Any vehicle left on campus without the key being left with security is subject to tow at your expense due to Plant Services/construction activity all around campus during the summer.
7. Do not abandon your car on city streets, as the city of Newberg will tow it as an “abandoned vehicle” after 72 hours.
8. Enjoy your time abroad!
