Housing Selection for Fall 2014 will occur March 17-22. Please refer to the following links for additional information as you prepare for this:

• General Housing Selection Information
• Housing options available through housing selection
• Advice for how to choose a roommate

In order to participate in housing selection, each student must have a $150 housing deposit  on file with Student Financial Services. After housing assignments are made, this deposit will be held and applied toward future housing charges.

Also, please note the changes to the residency policy for the 2014-15 academic year. George Fox will be switching from a three-year to a two-year residency requirement. This means students who have junior status (62+ credits) or who will be 20 or older prior to the first day of fall semester (Aug. 25, 2014) will be eligible to live off campus. For details, visit the Off-Campus Information page on the university website.

Additional housing selection and the housing deposit information will be posted in the next several weeks. If you have questions in the meantime, please contact the Office of Student Life or email housing@georgefox.edu.
