Every year, students ask the student accounts office how to waive the health insurance fee that’s on their student account. If you already have health insurance and don’t need George Fox’s, you must complete the health insurance form located in your MyGeorgeFox “Task” tile under your To-Do list by Sept. 1.
This waiver must be completed annually, as it is not automatically renewed for you. Once you’ve completed the waiver, the charge should drop off of your student account within a few business days.
Full-time undergraduate students and full-time in-person graduate program students who do not complete the waiver will be enrolled and charged for university-provided insurance. These charges are due at the beginning of the semester and cannot be included in a monthly payment plan.
For any appeals regarding George Fox health insurance, please contact Health & Counseling at hcc@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2340.
In accordance with George Fox’s refund policies, we will not begin initiating refunds of excess fall term aid prior to Monday, Aug. 26. It is also important to note that refunds will not be issued to any students in session-based classes prior to the start of their fall term classes.
Please take the following steps to avoid refund delays:
We notify students that refunds have been processed by emailing their George Fox email address.
The first two weeks of the term are especially busy for our refund specialist. Emails and phone calls received between Aug. 26 and Sept. 6 might not be answered until the third week of the term so she can focus on getting refunds initiated and submitted for processing.
Feel free to email studentaccountrefunds@georgefox.edu with any questions.
