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!

Electronic student account statements were delivered to your George Fox email this morning. Please find that email, and forward it to persons helping you with payment.
Last month’s printed statement was mailed Dec. 2. If your student account was updated after Dec. 1, those transactions (charges and payments) will not be reflected on a printed paper statement that is mailed. That means today’s e-statement (delivered at roughly 3 a.m.) must be forwarded to parents, guarantors, payors, and anyone else who is helping you manage your school finances.
Contact us at studentaccounts@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.
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”).
