Your housing code can be found on the first page of the Housing Groups Sign-ups form. One person from each group will fill out the form with the housing codes of the whole group.
If you do not have a group to sign up with, you can go through the housing process as an individual. In this case, rather than placing you according to your credit ranking, we would work with you to identify a suitable spot to live.
If you would like help going through the process, there is a computer set up in the Student Life Office. You may use this computer to go through sign-ups with one of the housing staff to help answer questions.
If you have questions about the selection process, please stop by or call the Student Life Office, ext. 2310 or email housing@georgefox.edu.
