Faculty, staff, students, vendors and visitors across all campus locations must use face coverings as required by state guidelines. You can read the full face-covering policy here.
Masks, face coverings, or face shields are currently required for:
- All indoor public campus spaces (e.g., classrooms, offices, hallways, meeting rooms, etc.) unless the individual is alone in an individual private workspace defined by OHA as an indoor space within a public or private workplace used for work by one individual at a time. It must be enclosed on all sides with walls from floor to ceiling and with a closed door. Note: Face coverings are required in all cubicle and open workspaces.
- In the Bruin Den, Canyon Commons or Bridge Cafe you may remove your face covering ONLY if you are actively eating.
The university has worked hard to follow CDC and OHA guidance through the pandemic, but we recognize there will be a variety of personal perspectives on how our campus should transition back to pre-pandemic life. We ask that, as members of a Christ-centered community, we treat one another with kindness and grace, particularly when our views differ from one another.
Be well and stay safe!
Questions? Contact the COT (cot@georgefox.edu) or HR (hr@georgefox.edu).

In compliance with the university’s excess funds “refund” policies, the Office of Student Accounts will start initiating credits to students who are signed up for Student Account Direct Deposit (DD) beginning the week of Jan. 10. If you haven’t set up DD yet, please follow these simple instructions to do so now.
Enrollment in DD is mandatory at George Fox. When not completed, paper checks are required, and this causes an unavoidable delay. (Best guess, paper checks will be mailed the week of Jan. 17 at the earliest.)
For additional information about how to avoid refund delays, please review our Policy Highlights page (scroll down to “Refunds”).

Learning Support Services is recruiting two or three graduate students to work as academic mentors on the Newberg campus during the spring 2022 semester.
Academic mentors generally have six to eight one-on-one meetings with students each week; the position pays current Oregon minimum wage. Students can find more details and application information on the HandShake position posting. The position is open to any George Fox graduate student. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
Past academic mentors have commented on how much they grew through the experience, especially through their one-on-one sessions with high-risk students. The role is not a formal counseling role, but has similarities that can be especially helpful for graduate students who will be entering helping professions.
Please contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.
