The last day for traditional undergraduates to withdraw from a class with a “W” grade is Sunday, Nov. 7. If you review your mid-semester grades and think it’s in your best interest to withdraw from a class, you must do so in MyGeorgeFox by following these instructions no later than 11:59 p.m. Nov. 7.

Withdrawal from a class records a “W” grade on your transcript. A “W” grade has no impact on your GPA. However, reducing your number of completed courses this semester may affect future semester planning. Be sure to check in with your faculty advisor or CAP coach if you have any questions.

Email registrar@georgefox.edu if you need more details.

Our Donor Funded Scholarships application is now open for traditional undergraduate students.

Through Student Resources in your MyGeorgeFox portal, you have access to complete just one application and essay for the opportunity to be matched with more than 200 of our Donor Funded Scholarships.

Our Donor Funded Scholarships range from $500 to $15,000! These scholarships have a variety of criteria, from academic major and grade level to background and financial need. Once your application and essay are submitted, you are put in the running for the scholarships you qualify for. It’s that easy!

If you’re looking for a way to fill the gap for the 2022-23 academic year, this is a great opportunity. While you are not guaranteed a scholarship, we encourage all eligible students to apply.

Didn’t receive a scholarship last year? Because some scholarships consider grade level, it is a good idea to complete the application each year you are eligible, as you may be qualified for some scholarships you weren’t in previous years.

Deadlines and Dates to Remember:

• Feb. 11 – Application closes
• Feb. 14 – Letters of Recommendation due (when applicable)

Questions? Reach out to our Scholarship Resource Center at scholarships@georgefox.edu.

The School of Theology and the IDEA Center have designated Nov. 1-5 as a Week of Discerning Vocation and Occupation at George Fox University.

The calling of every believer is to be a follower of Jesus (our vocation), and the means of making a living should involve the ways in which we are the best disciples possible (our occupation).

These issues will be explored meaningfully over coffee and conversation with author and Murdock senior fellow Steven Garber, who will discuss “Purpose into Practice” from 3 to 4:15 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4, in Hoover 103. Refreshments will be provided.

The following day, IDEA Center Director Logan Walton will present “Calling, Vocation, and Purpose: Why am I Here and Where am I Going?” The event will take place in Bauman Auditorium from 11 to 11:50 a.m. Friday, Nov. 5.

Garber’s presence is made possible by the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust. Spiritual Life credit is available for both events.
