Fall 2010 housing selection will be online in MyGFU Monday through Friday, March 19th. The form will close at 5:00 pm on Friday.

 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.

• Log into MyGFU.
• Under the “Student Resources” menu, click on “Enrollment Forms.”
• You’ll need to enter your login information again to get to the forms.
• The housing sign-ups form should appear in the list on the left.
• The forms will walk you through the process:
  • One person enters housing codes for the group
  • Confirm your roommate choices
  • Rank order your preferences

 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.

Thinking About Roommates for Next Semester?

 • Consider the many benefits of rooming with an international student:

 • Expand your understanding of people from other cultures.

 • Sharpen your communication skills.

 • Grow in your skills in being more culturally sensitive.

 • Be more prepared to live and work in a multicultural society.

 • By exposing yourself to people from other cultures, you better understand our own culture.

 • You have an opportunity to serve as a cultural ambassador, helping international students to better understand and appreciate American people and U.S. Culture.

 • You have an opportunity to share and live your faith with students, many of whom have had very little exposure to Christianity.

 • Develop a close relationship with someone from another country.  This relationship could be life long.

 Please contact Alex Pia or Dianna McIntyre in the International Student Services Office if you would like to be room with an international student.

Friday is the last day for Peer Advisor applications.  Get involved!  If you have questions email Stephanie at sstcyr@georgefox.edu
